A shelf includes a shelf panel and an illumination module. The shelf panel has an upper surface, a lower surface, and an edge extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The upper surface is capable of supporting articles thereon. The illumination module is coupled to the shelf panel and includes a first plurality of lights emitting visible light when powered, and a second plurality of lights emitting light having a germicidal effect when powered.

Illuminated shelf

A shelf assembly for an enclosure includes a shelf panel having an upper surface, a lower surface, and an edge extending between the upper and lower surfaces. The edge includes front, rear, and side edges. A light housing is coupled to the shelf panel and includes one or more walls defining an interior. The light housing includes front, rear, and side portions disposed adjacent to the front, rear, and side edges of the shelf panel, respectively. A plurality of light sources received within the light housing to project light outwardly therefrom.

Illuminated shelf assemblies

A shelf assembly includes a shelf panel and a hydrophobic surface applied in a spill containment pattern on the top surface of the shelf panel adjacent to at least one of the left side, right side, front, and rear edges. The shelf panel has a top surface for supporting articles, opposite left and right side edges, and opposite front and rear edges. The spill containment pattern defines at least a portion of a boundary of a central portion of the top surface of the shelf panel. The spill containment pattern includes an outer edge containment strip disposed adjacent to at least one of the left side, right side, front, and rear edges of the shelf panel, an inner edge containment strip spaced inward from the outer edge containment strip, and a non-hydrophobic spill catch area disposed between the outer and inner edge containment strips.

Spill containing refrigerator shelf assembly

A shelf assembly for an enclosure includes a shelf panel and side brackets coupled to the shelf panel along respective lateral portions thereof. Each of the side brackets have a rear coupling portion configured to mount to structure of the enclosure. One or more light sources are mounted and electrically coupled to one of the side brackets and a connection between one or both of the side brackets and the structure of the enclosure is configured to provide power to illuminate the one or more light sources.

The specification discloses a method for containing spills on shelving and the like, and the resulting support members made in accordance with the method, by providing the generally flat top surface of a support with a hydrophobic surface which is arranged in a spill containment pattern and which is generally in the plane of the top surface of the support. The majority of the top surface of the support consists of one or more spill containment areas which are of a non-hydrophobic nature and which are bounded by the hydrophobic surfaces, such that spills on the shelving collect in the non-hydrophobic spill containment area or areas and are prevented from spreading by the hydrophobic surfaces.

A shelf includes a shelf support plate, an insulator formed at least partially of a first electrically insulating material, a first fastener, a second fastener and a shelf brace. The shelf support plate, the first fastener, the second fastener, and the shelf brace are formed at least partially of electrically conductive material. The shelf support plate includes a first aperture wall. The insulator includes second and third aperture walls. The shelf brace includes a brace plate, a shelf hook that extends from the brace plate, and a fourth aperture wall through the shelf brace. The insulator mounts between the shelf support plate and the shelf brace using the first fastener inserted into the first and second aperture walls and the second fastener inserted into the fourth and third aperture walls. The shelf hook connects to an electrical connector to provide current to the shelf brace.

Shelf with electrical connectivity

A shelving assembly includes a support plate, left and right side supports, and a support frame. The side supports each include a front end located adjacent to a front edge of the support plate, and a rear end located adjacent to a rear edge of the support plate. The support frame includes a front frame member, a rear frame member, and opposite left and right side frame members that extend from the rear frame member to the front frame member. The front frame member is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the support plate at the front edge and the rear frame member is disposed adjacent to the bottom surface of the support plate at the rear edge. The left and right side frame members are disposed adjacent to the left and right side supports, respectively.

Shelving assembly and support assembly for shelving

A shelving assembly includes a support plate, left and right side supports, and a front anti-tip and retention feature. The side supports each include a front end located adjacent to a front edge of the support plate, and a rear end located adjacent to a rear edge of the support plate. A portion of the front anti-tip and retention feature is disposed above the support plate for preventing tipping and for retaining the support plate on the side supports. The front anti-tip and retention feature is configured such that a majority of the top surface of the support plate along opposite left and right side edges is freely exposed and unencumbered.
