Problems solved by technology

[0007] One problem with current shelving systems is that they do not take into account the size and weight of the compartments or the items contained in the compartments during maintenance
When they stretch out they can cause excessive strain on the rack as the loader is required to support the weight of the rack while in use
Since this is difficult to determine based on the size and strength of the loader, it is possible for such racks to be opened uncontrolled
This causes excessive wear and tear on the system, reduces the shelf life of the racking system, and may increase user-related safety concerns

Embodiment Construction

[0026] Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments

[0027] Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a racking system 10 of the present invention. The shelving system 10 provides a support on which the containers 12 may be located, simplifying access to the containers 12 . Those of ordinary skill in the art will certainly appreciate that containers commonly used for displaying and dispensing items generally include a dispensing outlet 14 and a loading inlet 16 . In most cases it is desirable that the loading access 16 is concealed until the container 12 has to be refilled. When loading, the loading access can be accessed and the container 12 filled with desired items. The racking system 10 of the present invention supports the containers 12 in a position that allows easy access to the loading access of the containers 12 . Although the shelving system of the present invention has been described as being used to support containers, the shelving system can be ...

Abstract

A racking system exhibiting controlled compound movement is disclosed. The racking system includes a bracket adapted for engagement to a structural support and a translational tray assembly supported by the bracket for linear and rotational movement relative to the bracket. The system also includes a first dampening member associated with the translational tray assembly for dampening the linear movement of the translational tray assembly relative to the bracket and a second dampening member associated with the translational tray assembly for dampening the rotational movement of the translational tray assembly relative to the bracket. The first and second dampening members ensure smooth, controlled motion as the tranlational tray assembly is rotationally and linearly moved.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention relates to an adjustable shelf system. More particularly, the present invention relates to an adjustable racking system with linear and rotational motion. Background of the invention [0002] Shelving systems for supporting, displaying and distributing various items come in a variety of sizes, shapes and designs adapted to fulfill different functions. In most cases, these shelving systems have many individual compartments or containers separating various items. [0003] In everyday use, these shelving systems are often seen in public facilities such as libraries, for storing periodicals or reports of various kinds, or in food stores for handing out replaceable block items, Such as candy, nuts and coffee beans. Additionally, these racking systems may include a system for individually dispensing the items needed therein. This arrangement is very advantageous because it allows the consumer to select and receive a v...
