Abstract
A shelf assembly has expandable shelves connected to upright legs that horizontally support the shelves in a locker. A drawer slidably mounted on one shelf for movement between open and closed positions engages a longitudinal rib to maintain the drawer generally horizontal when the drawer is moved to the out position. The drawer when in the closed position can be moved into a nested position in the shelf to facilitate packaging and display in a flat box. The legs having tight fit connections with the corners of the shelf.
Claims35
A shelf assembly comprising:
- a shelf, a drawer located below the shelf, means joined to the shelf slidably supporting the drawer for movement between closed and open positions relative to the shelf, said drawer having a transverse end wall, and a longitudinal rib joined to the shelf and extended downwardly toward the drawer, said transverse end wall of the drawer being engageable with said rib to retain the drawer in a generally horizontal position between the closed and open positions of the drawer.
A shelf assembly comprising:
- a first shelf member, a second shelf member, said first and second shelf members having cooperating means slideably supporting the first shelf member on the second shelf member whereby the first and second shelf means are movable between contracted and expanded positions, means for retaining the first and second shelf means in selected positions, a drawer located below the second shelf member, and means joined to the second shelf member slidably supporting the drawer for movement between open and closed positions relative to the second shelf member.
A leg for a shelf assembly comprising:
- a one-piece elongated linear member having a first side wall having a flat outside first surface, a second side wall having a flat outside second surface, said first and second surfaces being laterally spaced and parallel to each other, a transverse web located between and joined to the first and second side walls, and a plurality of sleeves joined to the web, said sleeves extended laterally from the web and surrounding transverse cylindrical holes.
A shelf assembly comprising:
- a shelf, upright legs for supporting the shelf in a horizontal position, said legs and shelf having cooperating connecting means attaching the legs to the shelf, said cooperating connecting means including sleeves having holes in said legs, and at least one finger attached to said shelf for each leg, said finger extended through one of the holes in said sleeves and engagable with the sleeve accommodating the finger to restrict movement of the legs relative to the shelf.
A shelf assembly comprising:
- a first shelf member, a second shelf member, said first and second shelf members having cooperating means slidably supporting the first shelf member on the second shelf member whereby the first and second shaft members are movable between contracted and expanded positions, means for retaining the first and second shelf members in selected positions, upright legs for supporting the shelf members in a horizontal position, said legs having sleeve with holes along the length of said legs, and finger means on said first and second shelf members extended through said holes and engagable with said sleeves to restrict movement of the legs relative to the shelf members.
