Benefits of technology

The patent describes a shelf system for a refrigerated housing. The system includes side panels with fixed shelves and repositionable shelves. The repositionable shelves are made of two plates placed in a pouch that can be sewn onto the panels. The plates can be moved from a first position to a second position to support the weight of the shelves. This allows for flexibility in the shape and number of compartments. The system also includes a lock mechanism to secure the second plate to the housing for added strength. The technical effect of this patent is to provide a flexible and secure shelf system for refrigerated housings.

Problems solved by technology

These formulas result in square openings in the suspended housing.

Abstract

A hanging organizer has opposing first and second flexible sides and back panel joining rectangular shelves of width W. A repositionable shelf has first and second rectangular plates with first and second edges and joined at a flexible juncture parallel to those edges. The first edge engages the first panel and the second edge engages the second panel a distance W below the first edge. The repositionable shelf has a first position where the first plate abuts the first panel with the second plate horizontal, and has a second position where the first plate is horizontal and the second plate abuts the second panel.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 771,221 filed Mar. 1, 2013, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.[0002]STATEMENT RE: FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH / DEVELOPMENT[0003]Not ApplicableBACKGROUND[0004]Various Various hanging compartments are known that have two vertical fabric sides with horizontal fabric shelves at periodic locations. If the sides are flat the compartments are rectangular in shape. If the sides are curved the compartments are curved to match. But in all cases the vertical size of the compartments are determined by the shelf or bottom of the compartment which has opposing ends sewn to or otherwise engaging opposing vertical sides to form a horizontal shelf or bottom. Because the opposing sides of the shelf are sewn to the vertical side supports, the vertical height of the compartments is limited. This limit on vertical height poses pr...
