Abstract
A shelving unit made from universal components. The shelving unit can include components including one or more brackets, beams, and support arms. Each of these components is shaped and includes apertures that provide for usage in different configurations. This provides for the different components to be assembled in a variety of different arrangements. The shelving unit can also include one or more corner brackets to support the shelving unit in a corner formed by two walls.
Claims20
A universal shelving unit comprising:
- a plurality of brackets each comprising:
- first and second sides that are aligned at 90 degrees relative to each other;
- apertures that extend through the first and second sides of the bracket, the apertures being arranged in sets of at least two and that are symmetrical about a centerline of the bracket;
- a plurality of beams each comprising:
- first and second sides that are aligned at 90 degrees relative to each other;
- and
- apertures that extend through the first and second sides of the beam, the apertures being arranged in sets of at least two and that are symmetrical about a centerline of the beam;
- and
- a plurality of support arms each comprising an elongated shape with opposing first and second ends and apertures positioned at the first and second ends.

A universal shelving unit comprising:
- a plurality of brackets that each comprise:
- a first side and a second side positioned at a 90° angle relative to each other;
- a first end and a second end;
- a centerline that extends across each of the first side and the second side at a midpoint between the first end and the second end;
- a first set of apertures that extend through the first side and are arranged in a first pattern that is symmetrical about the centerline;
- a second set of apertures that extend through the second side and are arranged in a second pattern that is symmetrical about the centerline, the second set of apertures being smaller than the first set of apertures and with a greater number than the first set of apertures;
- a plurality of beams that each comprise:
- a first side and a second side positioned at a 90° angle relative to each other;
- a first end and a second end with a length measured between the first and second ends that is greater than the brackets;
- a centerline that extends across each of the first side and the second side at a midpoint between the first end and the second end;
- a first set of apertures that extend through the first side and are arranged in a third pattern that is symmetrical about the centerline;
- and
- a second set of apertures that extend through the second side and are arranged in a fourth pattern that is symmetrical about the centerline.
