A U-shaped adjustable shelving system comprised of a plurality of interconnecting shelf sections including a back shelf section, a right side shelf section and a left side shelf section. The right and left side shelf sections are coupled to the back shelf section with a sliding dovetail arrangement so as to allow adjustment of the right and left side shelf sections relative to the back shelf section in order to change the width of the adjustable shelving system. The back shelf section is adjustable in length to substantially match the width of the space in which the shelving system is to be installed. The adjustable shelving system includes support risers for self-supporting the shelving system above a surface. The adjustable shelf can be easily installed into a variety of cabinets, and allows access to small containers, such as those for herbs and spices. |

A device has removable, height-adjustable and positionable shelves. The device includes a pair of vertical struts inside of which suitable brackets of associated boards, can run. The vertical struts, have respective “racks” positioned in a back part of the struts, on which suitable toothed wheels are engaged that are located in a middle part of a rear end of each bracket. A lower end of each bracket a suitable toothed sliding back is located which, when the associated bracket is positioned in a normal horizontal position, i.e., at a right angle to the respective vertical strut, is engaged to a relative portion of the respective rack, but when the bracket is raised by being inclined upwardly at its front part, rotating around the associated toothed wheel, the sliding block is disengaged from the rack, thus being able to run freely vertically along the associated vertical strut. The device also has a related element for limiting the rotation and/or the support of the strut and suitable blocking elements capable of preventing any movement of the shelves. |
