Modular shelving system with bars, connectors, containers, and lighting
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11771240B2) describes a modular shelving system that offers various features and functionalities. The system includes a plurality of shelves, each with a top surface to support objects and a bottom surface. The shelves have passages and channels for interconnecting with bars and connectors. Additionally, the shelves have a first channel that houses a lighting element to illuminate objects placed on the top surface.
The patent also mentions the inclusion of a cover that can be coupled to the shelves to cover the open side of the first channel. Furthermore, a second lighting element can be positioned within the second channel of the upper shelf to illuminate objects on the top surface of the shelf below. Another cover can be used to cover the open side of the second channel.
The modular shelving system can also feature a third channel that extends the full length of each shelf, facing upward when assembled. Additionally, a heating element may be included in the system.
The shelves are formed from a polymer material and are extruded to have a uniform cross-section throughout their length. This ensures consistency and durability in the construction of the shelves.
In another embodiment, the modular shelving system includes containers that are removably disposed on the shelves. These containers are coupled to an air supply, which can be a compressed air supply. The air supply is uniformly delivered to each of the containers, providing a controlled environment for the objects stored within.
Overall, this patented modular shelving system offers versatility and functionality with features such as lighting elements, covers, heating elements, and containers with controlled air supply. The use of polymer material and uniform cross-section ensures durability and consistency in the shelves' construction.
