Shelving system

Abstract

A shelving system having a plurality of shelving support units spanned from each other in a parallel fashion along a wall with each support unit having a pair of extensions which project laterally outward from the wall and aperture panels extending therefrom. The aperture panels are configured with a plurality of apertures and a small securing hole positioned adjacent to an outermost aperture. A plurality of cylindrical pipes are coupled between the shelving support units, the pipes being inserted through the apertures and coupled to the shelving support units via a locking mechanism.

1 . A shelving support unit comprising: 
 at least two mounting plates;    extensions which project laterally from each of said mounting plates;    aperture panels coupled to and extending from the extensions, said aperture panels configured with a plurality of apertures and a small securing hole positioned adjacent to an outermost aperture, wherein said small securing hole is designed for insertion of a locking mechanism coupled to said shelving support unit.    
   
   
       2 . The shelving support unit of  claim 1 , wherein the extensions are parallel to each other and each has a different length.  
   
   
       3 . The shelving support unit of  claim 1 , wherein the extensions are joined together on an opposite side via a vertical member formed between the two extensions.  
   
   
       4 . The shelving support unit of  claim 1 , wherein each aperture in the plurality has a diameter suitable for insertion of a cylindrical pipe through said aperture.  
   
   
       5 . The shelving support unit of  claim 4 , wherein the locking mechanism is comprised of: 
 an eyebolt which is threaded through the small securing hole and coupled to the shelving support unit on both sides of the securing hole; and    a self-tapping screw coupled between the eyebolt and an outermost cylindrical pipe when it is inserted through the outermost aperture.    
   
   
       6 . A shelving system comprised of: 
 a plurality of shelving support units spanned from each other in a parallel fashion along a wall, wherein each support unit has a pair of extensions which project laterally outward from said wall and aperture panels coupled to and extending from each of said extensions, said aperture panels configured with a plurality of apertures and a small securing hole positioned adjacent to an outermost aperture; and    a plurality of cylindrical pipes coupled between the shelving support units, said pipes being inserted through said apertures in said aperture panels.    
   
   
       7 . The shelving system of  claim 6 , wherein the extensions are parallel to each other and each has a different length.  
   
   
       8 . The shelving system of  claim 6 , wherein the extensions are joined together on an opposite side via a vertical member formed between the two extensions.  
   
   
       9 . The shelving system of  claim 6  further comprising; 
 a pair of locking mechanisms for insertion into the securing holes in order to couple an outermost cylindrical pipe to the shelving support units.    
   
   
       10 . The shelving system of  claim 9 , wherein each locking mechanism in the pair is comprised of: 
 an eyebolt which is threaded through the small securing hole and coupled to the shelving support unit on both sides of the securing hole; and    a self-tapping screw coupled between the eyebolt and the outermost cylindrical pipe when it is inserted through the outermost aperture.
