Chris Cinkaj - Langhorne PA 19047

International Classification:

A47B 500

US Classification:

108152, 1081571, 211 9001

Abstract:

A shelving and attachment system provides for the completely concealed attachment of hollow, built up shelves to a wall or similar structure. The present system may be used for the attachment of a single shelf to a single wall structure, or may be used to secure a series of shelves to a single wall or to two or more adjacent walls. The hollow shelves of the present shelf system preferably include at least one vertical rib therein, extending between the top and bottom panels or surfaces of the shelf for greater structural strength. One or more relatively thin wall mounted cleats, or alternatively, deeper built up cleat boxes for greater shelf support, provide for shelf attachment, with the edges of the shelf box structure fitting over the edges of the cleats. Two or more sides of the shelf structure may be left open, to engage a corresponding number of cleats.

Abstract:

A decorative shelving for use in the home or in the office. The shelving appears as if it is a part of the original home or office because the shelving matches the original wall surface. The building design and installation is unique because it not only ensures strength and quality, but it also ensures a nearly perfect match with the original wall surface. The shelving method of assembly is very cost effective compared to conventional building methods. The decorative shelving is self-supporting with no visible means of support. The shelving has a cantilever design that has superior strength without the use of struts. The shelving comprises a novel shelf support structure with the shelf having a modular framework.
