Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a large enclosure constructed of plastic structural panels. More specifically, the present invention relates to a modular construction system utilizing shelves having integrated connectors to cooperate with integrated connectors in the roof for stability and support.
  • This invention relates generally to a large enclosure constructed of plastic structural panels. More specifically, the present invention relates to a modular construction system utilizing shelves having integrated connectors to cooperate with integrated connectors in the structural panels for stability and support.
  • Utility sheds are a necessity for lawn and garden care, as well as general all-around home storage space.
  • items such as garden tractors, snow blowers, tillers, ATVs, motorcycles and the like consume a great deal of the garage floor space available, forcing the homeowner to park his automobile outside.
  • a system of shelving is usually constructed as free standing units or attached to the walls of the sheds. Free standing units are unstable, particularly, when carrying a top-heavy load. And in the modular plastic sheds, now available, it is difficult to attach shelves to the plastic panels without damaging the integrity of the panels.
  • Modular shelving systems are well known as illustrated by U.S. Pat. No. 6,178,896 to Houk, Jr., U.S. Pat. No. 5,709,158 to Wareheim and U.S. Pat. No. 5,588,541 to Goetz. These are stand-alone modular units with multiple horizontal shelves supported by sectional legs or, in the case of the Goetz patent, a back panel.
  • the FIGURE is a perspective of a utility shed with a hanging shelving system.
  • the utility shed 10 is a structure assembled from molded panels with the roof panels removed.
  • the shed may have floor panels, also.
  • the panels, including the roof panels, are reinforced with metal strips for safety, structural rigidity and strength. The excess structural strength afforded by the strips may be utilized to support interior shelving provided as an accessory or as an after market item.
  • a sidewall panel 11 is joined to and end panel 12 .
  • Each of the end panels 12 have a peak 13 to support a pitched roof.
  • the reinforcing strip 14 in the form of a ridge pole, joins each end panel at the center of the peak.
  • Roof reinforcing strip 15 and roof reinforcing strip 16 are disposed on opposite sides of the ridge pole and at the same level with each other. The ends of the ridge pole and the roof strips abut the interior of the peak 13 allowing a continuous straight upper edge for covering the ends of the roof panels.
  • the roof panels (not shown) are in contact with the ridge pole and reinforcing strips and have spaced clips that secure the roof panels to the reinforcing strips. Because of the pitch of the roof, there is a vertical space between the roof panels and the reinforcing strips on each side. By hanging shelves from the reinforcing strips this space can be used for storage.
  • the shelving 20 is assembled from several long wire shelves 21 , 22 , and 23 suspended from the reinforcing strips by hangers located at each corner of each shelf.
  • the shelf 21 has a storage surface formed of metal or plastic ribs 24 extending across the width of the shelf. Each end of the ribs terminates with a down-turned portion 25 and 26 .
  • the ribs are supported by longitudinal bars 27 , 28 and 29 extending the length of the shelf. The down-turned ends are fixed to bars 30 and 31 .
  • the shelves are of a length to span the distance between the reinforcing strips 15 and 16 .
  • Each hanger 32 is made of metal or plastic of requisite strength.
  • the upper end 33 of the hanger is a C-shaped double hook with the upper portion in the shape to mate with the exterior surface of the reinforcing strip 15 and 16 .
  • the lower portion of the C-shaped hook 33 is attached to one end of a spacer 34 which extends the width of the shelf.
  • the other end of the spacer 34 is attached to another hanger 32 at the adjacent corner of the shelf.
  • the lower end 35 of the hanger 32 is a loop which extends around two adjacent ribs 24 and the bar 30 near the down-turned portions of the shelf.
  • the loop is closed about the spacer 34 and the lower portion of the C-shaped hook.
  • the shelves may be included with the molded utility shed or a separate accessory or an after market item.
  • the hangers are normally attached to the corners of the shelves at the factory. Assembly merely requires placing the upper C-shaped hook over the roof reinforcing strips.
