US Patent 9526355 Shelf structure

A welded wire mesh shelf structure is provided for cantilevered racks for warehouse storage. The shelf structure includes a welded wire mesh grid and a nose piece attached to the grid such that a top nose surface is flush with and defines an extension of an upper support plane defined by the wire grid. Fasteners attaching the shelf structure to cantilevered arms are flush with or recessed below the top support plane such that no protruding edge is presented by the nose piece to snag articles sliding on the upper support plane.
