Abstract
A modular storage and support assembly uses a platform system that includes vertically disposed support posts. The support post has an extended tubular body and a plurality of symmetrically spaced, radially extending flanges running the length of the tubular body. Each flange has a first portion extending radially from the post and a second portion at the terminal end of the first portion. A slot is defined between each pair of adjacent flanges for receiving vertical panels or other inserts.
Claims27
A support post, comprising:
- an elongated tubular post;
- and
- a plurality of spaced flanges extending radially from said post and running in a longitudinal direction along said post, each said flange having a first portion extending radially from said post and a second portion extending from a terminal end of said first portion, with each pair of adjacent flanges defining a slot therebetween having a continuous arcuate interior surface and shaped to have a convex interior side.
A support post, comprising:
- an elongated interior post;
- and
- a plurality of spaced flanges extending radially from said post and running in a longitudinal direction along said post, each said flange having a first portion extending radially from said post and a second arcuate portion extending from a terminal end of said first portion, with each pair of adjacent flanges defining a slot therebetween having a continuous arcuate interior surface and shaped to have a convex interior side.
A support post, comprising:
- an elongated post having an outer circumference and a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a plurality of symmetrically spaced, elongated flanges extending radially from said post, with each pair of adjacent flanges defining an elongated slot having rounded opposite ends, a convex-shaped interior side and a continuous arcuate interior surface.
A support post, comprising:
- an elongated tubular post having an exterior wall defining a first circumference and having a longitudinal axis;
- and
- a plurality of symmetrically-spaced, elongated flanges extending radially from said post and running in the longitudinal direction of said post, wherein circumferential surfaces of said flanges define a second circumference concentric with the first circumference and each pair of adjacent flanges defines therebetween an elongated slot with a continuous arcuate interior surface and shaped to have a convex interior side.
