US 12,408,753 B2 · Shelving board and shelving assembly comprising the same

Abstract

A shelving board is used in conjunction with a bracket or rack in a shelving system, for carrying items. The shelving board comprises a board body and a connecting piece. The board body may be a hollow structure or a recessed-and-raised structure, to reduce the material consumption and reduce the cost without affecting the strength. The connecting piece is used to hinder a relative movement between the board body and the rack or between the board body and the bracket, so as to improve the stability of the shelving board. The shelving board may be made by an extrusion process and cut into any length as required. Shelving boards may also be made into prefabricated pieces by an injection molding process, which are spliced into a desired length by means of splicing portions processed on the shelving boards.
