Abstract

A support beam and a shelving system are disclosed. The support beam comprises: a first vertical component; a second vertical component, positioned with the first vertical component in a shared vertical plane; a horizontal component connected to the first vertical component; a connecting component connected to the horizontal component and to an upper end of the second vertical component, wherein the connecting component has a curved shape; and an extending component having a first end and a second end and being connected to a lower end of the second vertical component at the second end, wherein the extending component has a first straight portion extending from the first end, and an angle between an extending direction of the first straight portion and that of the second vertical component is between 0 and 145 degrees.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A support beam for supporting a shelf assembly, comprising:
 a first vertical component;   a second vertical component, positioned with the first vertical component in a shared vertical plane;   a horizontal component connected to the first vertical component;   a connecting component connected to the horizontal component and to an upper end of the second vertical component, wherein the connecting component has a curved shape; and   an extending component having a first end and a second end and being connected to a lower end of the second vertical component at the second end, wherein the extending component has a first straight portion extending from the first end, and an angle between an extending direction of the first straight portion and that of the second vertical component is between 0 to 145 degrees.   
     
     
         2 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein a material of the support beam comprises metal or plastic. 
     
     
         3 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the curved shape of the connecting component comprises at least one inflection point. 
     
     
         4 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the extending component further has a second straight portion extending from the second end. 
     
     
         5 . The support beam according to  claim 4 , wherein the first straight portion and the second straight portion are parallel. 
     
     
         6 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the extending component further has a U shape section between the first straight portion and the second end. 
     
     
         7 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the extending component further has at least one arc section between the first straight portion and the second end. 
     
     
         8 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the extending component further has at least one bending point between the first straight portion and the second end. 
     
     
         9 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the extending component further has a flat portion perpendicular to the second vertical component between the first end and the second end. 
     
     
         10 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the first vertical component and the second vertical component at two ends of the support beam further has an opening, respectively, for riveting or bolting. 
     
     
         11 . The support beam according to  claim 1 , wherein the horizontal component and the connecting component are trimmed off at two ends of the support beam at an angle that is not perpendicular to the support beam. 
     
     
         12 . A shelving system, comprising:
 a plurality of corner posts;   a plurality of the beams, wherein each beam is configured to be adjustably coupled to a pair of corner posts and at least one of the beams is the support beams according to  claim 1 ; and   at least one shelf configured to rest on at least two beams.   
     
     
         13 . The shelving system according to  claim 12 , further comprising at least one fixing beam fixed on two opposite support beams.
