Abstract (en)

Upright (100) for a modular support assembly where the upright is a linear member having a polygonal cross-section defining a plurality of mutually adjacent faces. Each face resides in a plane so as to define elongate corner portions, each portion having one or more indentations formed along the length of the member. The upright also includes retaining structures (110) formed around the one or more indentations, the structures positioned generally transverse to the long axis of the upright, and defining recesses in the one or more indentations. The recesses thus formed receive and retain insertable engagement means (330) extending from the rear surface (350) of horizontal support members. The faces of the upright form a quasi-corrugated perimeter which more easily support compressional forces. The faces also form a backing for the recesses resisting torques generated by loads on the horizontal support members. A modular support assembly using these uprights is also discussed. <IMAGE>
