Patent attributes
A shelf storage system includes hang standards with slots arranged in rows, brackets connectable to the slots to suspend them in a cantilevered manner from the hang standards, and shelves adapted to be supported by brackets when suspended on spaced-apart hang standards. On the bottom side of a shelf are connectors at fixed locations for connecting the shelf to brackets when spaced a predetermined bracket-to-bracket distance apart. The hang standards have a plurality screw holes to connect the hang standard vertically on a vertical surface, such as a wall. The distance between at least two such screw holes corresponds to the predetermined bracket-to-bracket distance. To mark locations to install hang standards with proper spacing for brackets suspended from them to connect with the shelf, one of the hang standards is placed horizontally on the vertical surface to mark locations for the hang standards using the screw holes, thus simplifying installation of the system.
