Abstract

A wire shelving assembly includes four legs, a crosspiece unit, and a deck member removably disposed on the crosspiece unit. The crosspiece unit includes two carrying crosspieces and a strengthening crosspiece. Each of the carrying crosspieces removably interconnects two of the legs, has a receiving groove, and is formed with a pair of first through holes. The strengthening crosspiece has two end segments, each of which is removably inserted into the receiving groove of a respective one of the carrying crosspieces, and is formed with two second through holes registered with the first through holes of the respective one of the carrying crosspieces.

A wire shelving assembly comprising:

a leg unit that includes
two first legs being upright and spaced apart in a first horizontal direction, and
two second legs being upright and spaced apart in the first horizontal direction and respectively aligned with said first legs in a second horizontal direction which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction;
at least one crosspiece unit that includes
two carrying crosspieces extending in the first horizontal direction and spaced apart in the second horizontal direction, a first carrying crosspiece from said carrying crosspieces removably interconnecting said first legs, a second carrying crosspiece from said carrying crosspieces removably interconnecting said second legs, each of said carrying crosspieces having a carrying body that defines a receiving groove having a groove opening, said groove openings of said carrying bodies of said carrying crosspieces facing each other, each of said carrying crosspieces being formed with at least one pair of first through holes that are aligned with each other in a vertical direction which is perpendicular to the first and second horizontal directions and that are in spatial communication with said receiving groove, said at least one pair of first through holes of the first carrying crosspiece from said carrying crosspieces being aligned with said at least one pair of first through holes of the second crosspiece from said carrying crosspieces in the second horizontal direction,
each carrying body further comprises
a stepped top flange having an upper horizontal top flange portion, a lower horizontal top flange portion below the upper horizontal top flange portion, and a first vertical portion between the upper horizontal top flange portion and the lower horizontal top flange portion;
a stepped bottom flange having an upper horizontal bottom flange portion, a lower horizontal bottom flange portion below the upper horizontal bottom flange portion, and a second vertical portion between the upper horizontal bottom flange portion and the lower horizontal bottom flange portion;
wherein the stepped bottom flange is opposite to said stepped top flange;
and a vertical wall transversely connected between said top stepped flange and said stepped bottom flange and cooperating with said stepped top and bottom flanges to define said receiving groove, each pair of first through holes of each carrying crosspiece extending respectively through said lower horizontal top flange portion of the stepped top flange and said upper horizontal bottom flange portion of said stepped bottom flange;
at least one strengthening crosspiece extending in the second horizontal direction and having a rectangular cross-section and two end segments, each of said end segments being removably inserted into said receiving groove of each carrying crosspiece respectively, and being formed with a pair of second through holes that are vertically aligned with a corresponding pair of first through holes of each carrying crosspiece respectively, and
at least one retaining subunit including two retaining members, each of said retaining members removably extending through said corresponding pairs of first through holes of said carrying crosspieces and said second through holes of said at least one strengthening crosspiece;
and
at least one deck member that is removably disposed on said carrying body of each of said carrying crosspieces of said at least one crosspiece unit.
