Abstract
A shelf apparatus that can be adjusted at a front portion or a rear portion for quick and easy vertical adjustment within a storage case, such as a cabinet, cooler or refrigerated case. The shelf apparatus can include a frame and at least one actuation system that enables the adjustment of the shelf apparatus. The at least one actuation system can include pin members movable between an extended position and a retracted position in response to movement of a pull bar that can be actuated by a user. Movement of the pull bar can be translated to movement of the pin members via a rotating member operatively coupled to the pull bar and the pin members via tension members.
Claims20
An adjustable shelf apparatus comprising:
- a frame including side frame members;
- and
- an actuation system disposed on the frame, the actuation system comprising:
- a pin member mounted on one of the side frame members, the pin member being movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the pin member being biased towards the extended position;
- and
- a pull bar movable between a disengaged position and an engaged position, wherein the pull bar is operatively coupled to the pin member such that movement of the pull bar towards the engaged position causes the pin member to move towards the retracted position.
An adjustable shelf apparatus comprising:
- a frame including side frame members;
- pin members mounted on the side frame members, the pin members being movable between an extended position and a retracted position;
- a first pull bar operatively coupled to a first pin member of the pin members, wherein the first pull bar is operable to move the first pin member between the extended position and the retracted position;
- and
- a second pull bar operatively coupled to a second pin member of the pin members, wherein the second pull bar is operable to move the second pin member between the extended position and the retracted position.
