Patent granted for hang standard with u-shaped cross-section
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11910927B2) discloses a hang standard made of metal designed for vertical mounting in a storage system and connection with cantilevered brackets. The standard features an elongated, approximately U-shaped cross-section with a front portion and two rearward extending leg portions. The front portion includes a series of slots arranged into two columns serving as connection points for the cantilevered brackets, situated in a recess between first and second protruding portions on the guide sides of the slots. The design includes undercuts formed by slanted inner lateral walls of the protruding portions, creating a secure and stable connection for the brackets.
Furthermore, the patent details a storage system incorporating multiple metal hang standards, each sharing the U-shaped cross-section design with the front portion, rearward extending leg portions, and protruding portions. These standards are equipped with slots for connecting cantilevered brackets, supporting various storage components. The system's innovative design includes a transition portion between the front portion and leg portions, forming a double layer of sheet metal with outer and inner lateral walls for added strength and stability. Additionally, the system features narrower sections in the leg portions, creating ledges for enhanced support and functionality within the storage system.
