Abstract
A shelf system mounts to a wall and has a pair of mounting rails mounted to the wall. The mounting rails are elongated, vertically oriented, and spaced-apart from one another. The mounting rails have an array of bores extending laterally into and arrayed vertically along the mounting rail. A shelf is coupled to and between the pair of mounting rails. Lateral apertures in lateral sides of the shelf receive fasteners extending laterally through the lateral apertures and into the array of bores in the mounting rails. The shelf can be formed of a single piece of sheet material bent to form a horizontal platform, lateral sides, and longitudinal tabs.
Claims22
A shelf system configured to be mounted to a wall, the system comprising:
- at least one mounting rail that is elongated and vertically oriented and configured to be mounted to the wall;
- the at least one mounting rail having a solid front face having a continuous surface;
- the at least one mounting rail having an array of bores extending laterally into and arrayed vertically along the at least one mounting rail;
- at least one shelf coupled to the at least one mounting rail;
- wherein the at least one shelf comprises a greater surface area in lateral elevation view than a lesser surface area in longitudinal elevation view;
- at least one lateral aperture in a lateral side of the at least one shelf;
- and
- at least one fastener extending laterally through the at least one lateral aperture in the at least one shelf and at least one of the bores of the array of bores in the at least one mounting rail.
A shelf system configured to be mounted to a wall, the system comprising:
- a pair of mounting rails configured to be mounted to the wall, each mounting rail being elongated, vertically oriented, and spaced-apart from one another;

- each mounting rail having an array of bores extending laterally into and arrayed vertically along the mounting rail;
- at least one shelf coupled to and between the pair of mounting rails;
- wherein the at least one shelf comprises a greater surface area in lateral elevation view than a lesser surface area in longitudinal elevation view:
- lateral apertures in lateral sides of the at least one shelf;
- and
- fasteners extending laterally through the lateral apertures in the at least one shelf and bores of the array of bores in the pair of mounting rails.

- a rear of the at least one shelf coplanar with rears of the pair of mounting rails;
- the at least one shelf having depth greater than a depth of the pair of mounting rails with the at least one shelf protruding forward beyond the pair of mounting rails;
- wherein the at least one shelf further comprises:
- a horizontal platform;
- a pair of lateral sides extending vertically from lateral sides of the horizontal platform;
- a pair of longitudinal tabs extending vertically from longitudinal sides of the horizontal platform;
- a pair of lateral bends formed between the horizontal platform and the pair of lateral sides;
- a pair of longitudinal bends formed between the horizontal platform and the pair of longitudinal tabs;
- the pair of lateral sides extending upward from the horizontal platform;
- the pair of longitudinal tabs extending downward from the horizontal platform;
- a top of each of the lateral sides being horizontal and parallel with a bottom of each of the lateral sides;
- and
- the top of each of the lateral sides extending along a depth of the shelf at a constant height with respect to the bottom of each of the lateral sides.
