Hanging shelving system for utility shed

Abstract

A hanging shelving system for assembly with a molded utility shed is composed of several wire shelves with hangers at each corner. The hangers cooperate with reinforcing strips in the molded shed roof to suspend the shelves.

1 . A hanging shelving system for assembly with a molded utility shed having reinforcing strips for supporting roof panels comprising at least one shelf spanning the distance between said reinforcing strips, a storage surface on said shelf, a plurality of hangers attached to said storage surface for engaging said reinforcing strips and supporting said shelf.  
   
   
       2 . A hanging shelving system of  claim 1  wherein said storage surface is composed of a series of ribs extending the width of said shelf, said ribs connected to longitudinal bars, said shelf having a first end and a second end, at least two hangers attached to said first end, said hangers connected by a spacer, at least two hangers attached to said second end, said hangers connected by a second spacer, said spacer and said second spacer extending parallel to said ribs.  
   
   
       3 . A hanging shelving system of  claim 2  wherein said hangers attached to said first end have an upper end formed as a hook for engaging said reinforcing strips and a lower end formed as a loop, said loop disposed about said ribs and said longitudinal bars, said hangers attached to said second end have an upper end formed as a hook for engaging said reinforcing strips and a lower end formed as a loop, said loop disposed about said ribs and said longitudinal bars.  
   
   
       4 . A hanging shelving system of  claim 1  wherein said hangers have an upper end formed as a hook for engaging said reinforcing strips and a lower end formed as a loop, said loop disposed about said storage surface.  
   
   
       5 . A hanging shelving system of  claim 4  wherein said storage surface has a first end and a second end, at least two hangers at said first end and at least two hangers at said second end, said at least two hangers at said first end connected by a spacer parallel to said storage surface, said at least two hangers at said second end connected by another spacer parallel to said storage surface.  
   
   
       6 . A hanging shelving system for suspension below roof reinforcing strips in a molded utility shed comprising a plurality of shelves, each of said plurality of shelves having a storage surface formed of a series of ribs extending the width of the shelf, said ribs supported by longitudinal bars, said storage surface defined by four corners spaced apart, a first, second, third and fourth hanger at each of said four corners, each hanger having an upper end formed as a hook to engage said reinforcing strips and a lower end formed as a loop to surround said ribs and a longitudinal bar, a first spacer with a first end and a second end disposed parallel to said ribs, said first end connected to a said first hanger intermediate said upper end and said lower end, said second end connected to said second hanger intermediate said upper end and said lower end, a second spacer with a third end and a fourth end disposed parallel to said ribs, said third end connected to said third hanger intermediate said upper end and said lower end and said fourth end connected to said fourth hanger intermediate said upper end and said lower end.
