Abstract
A shelving accessory for a shelving unit. The accessory includes an overlay member having a channel positioned on a surface thereof. First and second recesses are formed at opposing ends of the channel.
Description
- The present application relates to shelving accessories, and more specifically, to accessories for open wire shelving units.
- Component shelving systems, such as open wire shelving units, provide a cost effective and simple alternative for those with shelving needs. These systems usually combine portability, ease of assembly, and strength. Characteristics that make component shelving a popular choice for a wide variety of settings such as laboratories, factories, hospitals and private homes.
- One problem with component shelving, however, is that although it performs well from a functional standpoint, it does not always aesthetically fit its environment. Accordingly, what is needed is a shelving accessory that addresses this problem.
- In one embodiment a shelving accessory is provided. The shelving accessory includes an overlay member. A channel is positioned on the surface of the overlay member. A first recess and a second recess are formed at opposing ends of the channel.
- In one embodiment a shelving unit is provided. The shelving unit includes at least one shelf assembly. A support post is attached to the shelf. An overlay member is attached to the shelf assembly. The overlay member includes a channel positioned on a surface of the channel. At least one recess is positioned in communication with the channel. A portion of the shelf assembly is positioned in the channel and at least a portion of the support post is positioned in the recess.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a portion of a shelving unit including at least one overlay member. -
FIG. 2 is an enlarged rear perspective view of one of the overlay members shown inFIG. 1 . -
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the overlay member ofFIG. 2 . -
FIG. 4 is an enlarged, fragmentary, exploded, perspective view of a portion of the shelving unit ofFIG. 1 illustrating attachment of an overlay member. - Referring to
FIG. 1 , ashelving unit 10 comprises one ormore support posts 50, at least oneshelf assembly 100 and at least oneoverlay member 200.Shelving unit 10 is shown inFIG. 1 as havingrectangular shelf assemblies 100 mounted on foursupport posts 50. This configuration is shown for illustrative purposes only.Shelving unit 10 could have a configuration different from that shown. For example,shelf assemblies 100 can be trapezoidal, triangular, and the like. The number ofsupport posts 50 can also vary. For instance,shelf assemblies 100 could be supported at two corners bysupport posts 50 and attached at opposite corners to a wall. In another example,shelf assemblies 100 could be triangular and supported by onesupport post 50 at an apex with the opposite base attached to a wall. Numerous configurations are possible. -
Shelving unit 10 is also shown with twoshelf assemblies 100, but other alternatives are possible. For example,shelving unit 10 could have a base shelving assembly and a top shelving assembly with one or more intermediate shelving assemblies provided therebetween. In another example,shelving unit 10 could have only oneshelving assembly 100. In a further example,shelving unit 10 could have only a base and atop shelving assembly 100. -
Support posts 50 are shown as cylindrical, but other shapes (e.g. square, hexagon, etc.) are possible. Eachsupport post 50 can be solid or hollow and be made of any material sufficient to support one ormore shelf assemblies 100. Exemplary materials include, but are not limited to, wood, plastics, and metals, such as nickel-chrome plated or decoratively cold-rolled steel, and stainless steel sheet.Support posts 50 can also includenotches 52, if necessary, which can be utilized to attachshelf assemblies 100 to supportposts 50.Support posts 50 can rest on a surface, a solitary base or in casters. - Each
shelf assembly 100 has a perimeter defined bysupport rails 110. Amat 130 is connected to, and supported bysupport rails 110. Thesupport rails 110 andmats 130 are attached tocollars 150, which attach eachshelf assembly 100 to supportposts 50. - For illustrative purposes, each
shelf assembly 100 is depicted as a plurality ofwire rods 112 connected together in a grid-like configuration. The particular configuration ofrods 112 can vary, depending on the needs or preferences of the manufacturers, sellers, and end users.Rods 112 can be made of any material strong enough to supportshelf assembly 110 while in use. Examples include ¼ inch bright basic steel (BBS) and number 6 American Wire Gage BBS.Rods 112 can be connected by known means, such as welding and chemical bonding. It should be noted that, it is not essential thatshelving unit 10 is of the open wire variety.Shelving unit 10 could be solid and made of another material, such as wood or plastic, without departing from the scope of the present application. - Referring further to
FIG. 1 , eachsupport rail 110 comprises twoparallel rods 114 and a snake-like rod 116. The snake-like rod 116 is attached toparallel rods 114 at one or more connection points 118. - Each
mat 130 comprises a plurality of intersectingrods Rods support rails 110. Amat 130 forms the support surface for arespective shelf assembly 100. - Each
support rail 110 is connected at each end to acollar 150. Eachshelf assembly 100 is attached to supportposts 50 bypositioning collars 150 oversupport posts 50.Shelf assemblies 100 can be maintained in a particular position onsupport post 50 through utilization of a sleeve (not shown), which can be located betweencollar 150 and supportpost 50. The sleeves can have ridges which are designed to fit innotches 52. It is envisioned, however, that any known other means could be used to maintainshelf assembly 100 in a particular vertical position. -
Overlay member 200, in one example, fits oversupport rail 110 and providesshelf assembly 100 with an appearance different than open wire shelving.Overlay member 200 can be made of a variety of materials, such as wood, metal or plastic, and have a variety of shapes and configurations.Overlay member 200 could include decorations on a front surface 201 thereof. - Referring to
FIGS. 2 and 3 ,overlay member 200, in one example, comprises a rectangular strip of material having achannel 210 positioned onback surface 211, and first andsecond recesses 270 formed at opposing ends ofchannel 210.Channel 210 receives asupport rail 110 of ashelving assembly 100. Thus,channel 210 is generally dimensioned sufficient to receivesupport rail 110 such thatoverlay member 200 concealsshelf assembly 100. For example,channel 210 could have a length equal to supportrail 110, a depth slightly larger than the depth ofsupport rail 110, and a width slightly larger thansupport rail 110. Other alternatives are possible depending on the needs and preferences of the manufacturers, sellers, and end users. InFIGS. 2 and 3 , thechannel 210 is generally rectangular, and is defined by opposingsidewalls 240 which extend outward fromsurface 211. A plurality ofholes 250 are provided insurface 211 which are utilized to attachoverlay member 200 toshelving unit 10. -
Recesses 270 are formed in communication withchannel 210.Recesses 270 receivesupport posts 50 and collars 15 ofshelving unit 10. Accordingly, recesses 270, in one example, comprise arcuate grooves formed insurface 211. Alternatively, recesses 270 could have other shapes. For instance, if support posts 50 were square in cross-section, recesses 270 could have a square shape. - Referring to
FIG. 4 ,overlay member 200 is attached toshelf assembly 100 by positioningsupport rail 110 withinchannel 210 and support post 50 withcollar 150 inrecess 270. A fastener, such as ascrew 401, and awasher 403secure overlay member 200 toshelf assembly 100.Screw 401 is positioned in one ofholes 250. Thewasher 403 is located between the head ofscrew 401 and snake-like rod 116. Whenscrew 401 is tightened,washer 403 bears against snake-like rod 116 and securesoverlay member 200 toshelf assembly 100. Because a plurality ofholes 250 are provided, variances in the positioning of snake-like wire 116 will not prevent a user from having ahole 250 in which to insertscrew 401. - The matter set forth in the foregoing description and accompanying drawings is offered by way of illustration only and not as a limitation. While particular embodiments have been shown and described, it would be apparent to those skilled in the art that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the broader aspects of applicant's contribution. The actual scope of the protection sought is intended to be defined in the following claims, when viewed in their proper perspective based on the prior art.
