Abstract:
A shelving system includes a plurality of horizontal support members, each horizontal support member having a length; a plurality of wall supports, each wall support including a first surface on which at least a portion of a horizontal support member rests; a plurality of brackets, each bracket attachable to the horizontal support members at different positions along the length of the horizontal support member; a plurality of vertical support members, each vertical support member coupled to at least one bracket; and a shelf attached to at least two of the plurality of vertical support members.

Claim (Index 1):
A shelving system comprising:\n a shelf having two opposed sides; a support assembly to support the shelf, the support assembly comprising\n first and second vertical support posts, each vertical support post having a height and first and second opposed surfaces that face away from each other and a third surface that is orthogonal to and extends between the first and second opposed surfaces, and \n a plurality of support pins fixed to each vertical support post of the first and second vertical support posts and spaced along the height of each vertical support post and extending away from at least one of the surfaces of the first and second opposed surfaces on each vertical support post; and \n a pair of bracket assemblies, each bracket assembly configured such that in an assembled state of the shelving system one of the bracket assemblies is associated and coupled with the first vertical support post to support one side of the two opposed sides of the shelf and the other bracket assembly is associated and coupled with the second vertical support post to support the other side of the two opposed sides of the shelf, each bracket assembly comprising\n a first bracket comprising\n a pair of spaced-apart parallel flanges, each flange formed as a planar surface, the first bracket configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system each flange is positioned adjacent one of the surfaces of the first and second opposed surfaces of the associated vertical support post such that the first bracket cooperates with the associated vertical support post to support one side of the two opposed sides of the shelf, wherein each planar surface of the pair of planar surfaces includes at least one aperture configured to releasably engage at least one selected support pin of the plurality of support pins on the associated vertical support post, each aperture formed as a slot with an open end, and \n a surface orthogonal to and extending between the pair of spaced-apart parallel flanges, wherein the orthogonal surface is configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the orthogonal surface contacts and extends across the third surface of the associated vertical support post, and \n \n a second bracket configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the second bracket is positioned relative to the first bracket to extend away from the first bracket toward the shelf to support the same side of the shelf supported by the first bracket, wherein the second bracket is separable from the first bracket, the second bracket comprising a coupling portion configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the coupling portion transmits a loading force from the side of the shelf to the associated vertical support post and a support portion extending from the coupling portion and configured to support the side of the shelf, wherein the second bracket is configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the second bracket hinders movement of the shelf in a direction orthogonal to a plane coincident with the third surface of the associated vertical support post.
