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 25):
A shelving system comprising:\n a support assembly to support a shelf having a first side and an opposite second side, the support assembly comprising first and second vertical support posts, each of the first and second vertical support posts having first and second opposed surfaces that face away from each other and a third surface orthogonal to and between the opposed first and second surfaces and a plurality of support pins fixed to and spaced along a height of each vertical support post of the pair of vertical support posts; and a support bracket assembly configured to be coupled to the support assembly and to the shelf, the support bracket assembly comprising\n first and second support brackets, the first support bracket associated with the first vertical support post to support the first side of the shelf and the second support bracket associated with the second vertical support post to support the second side of the shelf, each of the first and second brackets comprising a pair of spaced-apart parallel planar surfaces and a third surface orthogonal to and extending between the pair of spaced-apart parallel planar surfaces, each planar surface of the pair of spaced-apart parallel planar surfaces including at least one aperture configured to releasably engage a selected support pin of the plurality of support pins on the associated vertical support post, the at least one aperture formed as a slot with an open end, wherein the pair of spaced-apart parallel planar surfaces of each of the first and second support brackets is configured such that in an assembled state of the shelving system (i) each planar surface of the pair of spaced-apart parallel planar surfaces is positioned adjacent one surface of the first and second opposed surfaces of the associated vertical support post and the third surface of each of the first and second support brackets contacts and extends across the third surface of the associated vertical support post and (ii) the first support bracket cooperates with the first vertical support post to support the first side of the shelf and the second support bracket cooperates with the second vertical support post to support the second side of the shelf, and \n first and second cooperating brackets, each first and second cooperating bracket configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the first cooperating bracket is positioned relative to the first support bracket to extend between the first support bracket and the shelf to support the first side of the shelf and the second cooperating bracket is positioned relative to the second support bracket to extend between the second support bracket and the shelf to support the second side of the shelf, each of the first and second cooperating brackets comprising a coupling portion configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the coupling portion transmits a loading force from one side of the shelf to the support assembly and a support portion extending from the coupling portion and configured to support one side of the shelf, and wherein the support portion is configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system the support portion hinders movement of the shelf in a direction orthogonal to a plane coincident with the third surface of the each of the first and second support brackets, and wherein the support bracket assembly is configured such that in the assembled state of the shelving system (i) a bottom of the shelf is supported above a bottom of each of the first and second support brackets and above at least one of the selected support pins of the plurality of support pins, (ii) a top side of each of the first and second cooperating brackets does not extend above a top side of the first and second support brackets, and (iii) the shelf is in contact only with the first and second cooperating brackets.
