Abstract
A shelf has been disclosed, which provides a level with a support bridge, a first vertical support, and a second vertical support. The support bridge, the first vertical support, and the second vertical support forming three points in the level that support an object in alternative right or left arrangements at an angle where the objects extend upward and outward from the support bridge. In particular configurations, each of the first vertical support and the second vertical support comprise a shelving portion and each of the first vertical support and the second vertical support comprise an end support.
Claims18
A shelf comprising:
- a plurality of levels vertically stacked on top of one another, each level containing a support bridge, a first vertical support, and a second vertical support, wherein the support bridge, the first vertical support, and the second vertical support form three points in the level that vertically support an object alternatively in one of a left arrangement in which the object extends outwardly at an angle from a left side of the shelf and a right arrangement in which the object extends outwardly at an angle from a right side of the shelf, the object supported by each of the three points when positioned in either the left arrangement or the right arrangement;
- and
- a first end and a second end coupled to the plurality of levels, the first end and the second end to be releasably coupled to a planar surface such that the object is held against the planar surface.
A shelf comprising:
- a plurality of levels vertically stacked on top of one another, each level containing a first vertical support, and a second vertical support, and a support bridge between the first vertical support and the second vertical support, wherein the support bridge, the first vertical support, and the second vertical support form three points in the level that vertically support an object alternatively in one of a left arrangement in which the object extends outwardly and upwardly at an angle from a left side of the shelf and a right arrangement in which the object extends outwardly and upwardly at an angle from a right side of the shelf, the alternative positioning in the left or right arrangement preventing the other arrangement for the level, the object supported by each of the three points when positioned in either the left arrangement or the right arrangement;
- and
- a first end and a second end coupled to the level, the first end and the second end to be releasably coupled to a planar surface such that the object is held against the planar surface.
A shelf comprising:
- a plurality of levels vertically stacked on top of one another, each level containing a support bridge, a first vertical support, and a second vertical support, wherein the support bridge, the first vertical support, and the second vertical support form three points in the level that vertically support an object alternatively in one of a left arrangement in which the object extends outwardly at an angle from a left side of the shelf and a right arrangement in which the object extends outwardly at an angle from a right side of the shelf;
- a first end and a second end coupled to the plurality of levels, the first end and the second end to be releasably coupled to a planar surface such that the object is held against the planar surface;
- a spine connecting the plurality of levels between the first end and the second end;
- and
- webbing between respective levels, the webbing connecting the first vertical support of a first level with the first vertical support of a second level, the webbing forming at least two open spaces in the shelf between the first and second levels.
