Shelving system

A shelving system comprising:

• first and second frame supports, each frame support having a first, top end and an opposing second, bottom end;
• at least one shelf extending between the first and second frame supports;
• and
• first and second covers, the first cover being positioned over the second, bottom end of the first frame support and the second cover being positioned over the second, bottom end of the second frame support,
• wherein each of the first and second covers comprises:
• a generally flat base wall,
• first and second sidewalls both extending upwardly from the base wall at a predetermined acute angle,
• third and fourth sidewall sidewalls extending generally perpendicularly upwardly from the base wall, and
• at least one angled support having a first proximal end secured to the base wall and an opposing free distal end configured to engage and support the second, bottom end of one of the first and second frame supports, such that in an assembled position, the first and second frame supports are positioned at an angle with respect to a vertical support surface.

A connector for interconnecting two members of a shelving system comprising:

• a one-piece body having opposing first and second open ends, a plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls connected together side to side and extending from the first open end to the second open end, and a horizontally-oriented support wall integrally formed with and extending generally perpendicular to the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls and positioned between the first and second open ends, the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls including opposing first and second sidewalls which extend generally parallel to each other and opposing third and fourth sidewalls which extend generally parallel to each other and generally perpendicular to the first and second sidewalls;
• a first internal cavity formed between the first open end, a portion of the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls and a first surface of the horizontally-oriented support wall for receiving a first member;
• and
• a second internal cavity formed between the second open end, a portion of the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls and a second surface of the horizontally-oriented support wall for receiving a second member.

A shelving system comprising:

• a first frame support having a first frame member and a second frame member;
• a second frame support having a third frame member and a fourth frame member;
• at least one shelf extending between the first and second frame supports;
• a first connector connecting the first frame member to the second frame member;
• and
• a second connector connecting the third frame member to the fourth frame member,
• wherein each of the first and second connectors comprises:
• a one-piece body having opposing first and second open ends,
• a plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls connected together side to side and extending from the first open end to the second open end, the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls including opposing first and second sidewalls which extend generally parallel to each other and opposing third and fourth sidewalls which extend generally parallel to each other and generally perpendicular to the first and second sidewalls,
• a horizontally-oriented support wall integrally formed with and extending generally perpendicular to the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls,
• a first internal cavity between the first open end, a portion of the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls and a first surface of the horizontally-oriented support wall, the first internal cavity being configured to receive a portion of the first or third frame members, and
• a second internal cavity between the second open end, a portion of the plurality of vertically-oriented sidewalls and a second surface of the horizontally-oriented support wall, the second internal cavity being configured to receive a portion of the second or fourth frame members,
• wherein in an assembled position, a portion of the first frame member is positioned within the first internal cavity of the first connector, a portion of the second frame member is positioned within the second internal cavity of the first connector, a portion of the third frame member is positioned within the first internal cavity of the second connector and a portion of the fourth frame member is positioned within the second internal cavity of the second connector.
