The present disclosure generally relates to shelving end brackets with interchangeable pieces for supporting hang rods of different sizes in cabinets, closets, and/or other storage systems.
This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
Efficient and organized use of building space is very desirable, particularly with respect to storage or utility space in businesses, residential homes, and apartments. In particular, because of the limited or tight spaces in these locations, increasing the amount of useable space is very important. Likewise, providing ease in access and increased user convenience is important.
With respect to closet organization and the design of closet storage units, particularly for residential use, many different options are available including, for example, different sizes and shapes of shelves, different attachment and mounting members and different storage members (e.g., wire baskets, shoe-stands, tie/belt racks, hang rods, etc.). Ease in accessing stored items, such as clothing, is important. Further, ease in moving stored items to make room for other items or to access items not readily accessible, is likewise important. For example, hang rods may be supported beneath a shelf to provide for relatively easy movement of items along the hang rod, for example, sliding clothes on hangers.
This section provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features.
According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems and methods for supporting hang rods and shelves from support surfaces, such as the walls of a closet or cabinet. In an exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes a pair of end brackets and a plurality of different pairs of interchangeable pieces configured to be selectively coupled to the pair of end brackets. Each pair of interchangeable pieces when selectively coupled to the end brackets, respectively, is operable for supporting a different hang rod from the support surface when the end brackets are coupled to the support surface.
In another exemplary embodiment, a system generally includes at least one end bracket and at least one piece configured to be coupled to the end bracket. The piece includes a cradle portion for supporting an end portion of a hang rod at least partially within the cradle portion.
Additional aspects provide methods relating to supporting a hang rod from a support surface. In an exemplary embodiment, a method generally includes selecting a pair of interchangeable pieces for supporting the hang rod, from a plurality of different pairs of interchangeable pieces. The plurality includes at least one pair of interchangeable pieces that is configured for supporting a different hang rod than at least one other pair of interchangeable pieces. The method also includes coupling the selected pair of interchangeable pieces to a pair of end brackets, respectively. The selected pair of interchangeable pieces may then be used for supporting a hang rod from a support surface when the pair of end brackets are coupled to the support surface.
Further aspects and features of the present disclosure will become apparent from the detailed description provided hereinafter. In addition, any one or more aspects of the present disclosure may be implemented individually or in any combination with any one or more of the other aspects of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the detailed description and specific examples, while indicating exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
The drawings described herein are for illustrative purposes only of selected embodiments and not all possible implementations, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
Corresponding reference numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.
The following description is merely exemplary in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, application, or uses.
According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are disclosed of systems and methods for supporting shelves and hang rods from support surfaces, such as the walls of a closet or cabinet, among other suitable surfaces associated with storage systems and areas. Generally, this disclosure relates to “universal” end bracket systems, which may include a pair of “common” end brackets and a plurality of pairs of different interchangeable pieces that may be coupled to the end brackets. In addition to being coupled to each other, the end brackets and/or interchangeable pieces may also be coupled, for example, with mechanical fasteners (e.g., nails, screws, etc.) to the walls of a closet or cabinet, etc. In such embodiments, the end brackets and/or interchangeable pieces may include one or more fastener holes, which may help guide the installer on where to position the mechanical fasters relative to the end brackets and/or interchangeable pieces.
The interchangeable pieces may allow the installer to convert/tailor the end brackets for use with a particular size of hang rod. As disclosed herein, each pair of interchangeable pieces may include saddles or cradle portions (for receiving and supporting the ends of a hang rod) that are configured differently (e.g., sized, shaped, etc.) than the saddles/cradle portions of the other pair(s) of interchangeable pieces. Accordingly, each pair may thus support a hang rod that has a different configuration (e.g., size, shape, etc.) than the hang rod(s) to be supported by the other pair(s) of interchangeable pieces.
A user may customize or tailor the pair of end brackets for use with a hang rod of a particular configuration (e.g., size, shape, etc.) by selecting (and then coupling to the end brackets) the particular pair of interchangeable pieces, which have the appropriately configured saddles or cradle portions for use with that certain hang rod.
Exemplary embodiments that include end brackets and interchangeable pieces may thus accommodate for hang rods of different diameters, shapes, etc. And, because the hang rod is supported from the ends thereof by the end brackets/interchangeable pieces, clothes hangers are able to freely slide along the entire length (or almost the entire length) of the hang rod without interference from the end brackets.
In addition to supporting a hang rod, the end brackets may also include a shelf support surface on which may be placed and supported at least a portion of shelf (e.g., laminate shelf, wooden shelf, wire ventilated shelf, etc.) By way of example, the end brackets may include triangular projections having upper surfaces that define shelf support surfaces. Alternatively, other embodiments may include end brackets with differently configured shelf support surfaces. Still further embodiments may include end brackets without any shelf support surfaces.
Referring now to
In some embodiments, some or all of these various components of the system 100 may be provided to or packaged as a kit for the end user, customer, or installer to thereby allow for selective installation of various components of the system 100. The installer may thus select which one of the hang rods to use and also then selectively install the corresponding pair of interchangeable pieces. For example,
The end brackets 108 will now be described in detail with reference to
With continued reference to
As shown in
The end bracket's nub 164 is configured to be received within the curved groove or slot 168 of the interchangeable piece 112. The end bracket's notches 160 are configured to receive corresponding portions of the interchangeable piece 112. The end bracket 108 may thus be coupled to an interchangeable piece 112A, 112B, or 112C by way of the engagement of the interchangeable piece's pin 168 into the end bracket's bottom hole 120, the engagement of the end bracket's nub 164 into the interchangeable piece's groove 168, and the engagement of the corresponding portions of the interchangeable piece into the end bracket's notches 160. After coupling the end bracket 108 and interchangeable piece 112 in this manner, a more secure attachment between the end bracket 108 and interchangeable piece 112 may be accomplished via a mechanical fastener (e.g., nail, screw, etc.). The mechanical fastener may be inserted through the end bracket's bottom hole 120 and interchangeable piece's pin 168, and then the mechanical fastener may be driven (e.g., nailed, screwed, etc.) into a wall of closet or cabinet, etc.
The end bracket 108 may be coupled to any one of the three different interchangeable pieces 112A (
Referring now to
The interchangeable piece 112A includes a notched portion or groove 174A. The notched portion or groove 174A is shaped complementary to corresponding portions of the end bracket 108. The interchangeable piece 112A also includes a recessed upper portion 176A disposed generally within or interior to the groove 174A. The recessed upper portion 176A is shaped complementary to the lower rounded portion 148 of the end bracket 108. As shown in

In the illustrated embodiment of
This notwithstanding, the second interchangeable piece 112B will now be described in further detail with reference to
The interchangeable piece 112B includes a notched portion or groove 174B complementary in shape to corresponding portions of the end bracket 108. The interchangeable piece 112B also includes a recessed upper portion 176B disposed generally within or interior to the groove 174B. The recessed upper portion 176B is shaped complementary to the lower rounded portion 148 of the end bracket 108. As shown in
As shown in
In the illustrated embodiment of
The third interchangeable piece 112C will now be described in further detail with reference to
The interchangeable piece 112C includes a notched portion or groove 174C complementary in shape to corresponding portions of the end bracket 108. The interchangeable piece 112C also includes a recessed upper portion 176C disposed generally within or interior to the groove 174C. The recessed upper portion 176C is shaped complementary to the lower rounded portion 148 of the end bracket 108. As shown in
As shown in
In the illustrated embodiment of
With further regard to the illustrated embodiment of
The end brackets and interchangeable pieces may be constructed of the same material, different materials, or any suitable material, such as plastics, etc. In various exemplary embodiments, the end brackets and interchangeable pieces may be formed from polypropylene.
The hanger/hang rods may also be constructed of any suitable material, such as plastics, etc. In one exemplary embodiment, the hanger/hang rods may be hollow and formed from sheet metal.
Spatially relative terms, such as “inner,” “outer,” “beneath”, “below”, “lower”, “above”, “upper” and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the figures. Spatially relative terms may be intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the example term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. The device may be otherwise oriented (rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular example embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms “a”, “an” and “the” may be intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. The terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “including,” and “having,” are inclusive and therefore specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof. The method steps, processes, and operations described herein are not to be construed as necessarily requiring their performance in the particular order discussed or illustrated, unless specifically identified as an order of performance. It is also to be understood that additional or alternative steps may be employed.
When an element or layer is referred to as being “on”, “engaged to”, “connected to” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly on, engaged, connected or coupled to the other element or layer, or intervening elements or layers may be present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly engaged to”, “directly connected to” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there may be no intervening elements or layers present. Other words used to describe the relationship between elements should be interpreted in a like fashion (e.g., “between” versus “directly between,” “adjacent” versus “directly adjacent,” etc.). As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms may be only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or section from another region, layer or section. Terms such as “first,” “second,” and other numerical terms when used herein do not imply a sequence or order unless clearly indicated by the context. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer or section without departing from the teachings of the example embodiments.
Example embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough, and will fully convey the scope to those who are skilled in the art. Numerous specific details are set forth such as examples of specific components, devices, and methods, to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present disclosure. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that specific details need not be employed, that example embodiments may be embodied in many different forms and that neither should be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure. In some example embodiments, well-known processes, well-known device structures, and well-known technologies are not described in detail.
The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment, even if not specifically shown or described. The same may also be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the invention, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
