ABSTRACT:
A bracket for attaching a component to a slotted upright, which bracket includes one or more conventional downwardly-opening L-shaped hooks adapted for engagement with the slots of the upright. The bracket includes an integral locking element which is sufficiently resilient to snap into one of the slots when the bracket is properly seated to thereby indicate proper engagement of the bracket on the upright, and simultaneously prevent upward lifting of the bracket relative to the upright. The locking element comprises a vertically elongated cantilever spring having a slot-engaging projection at the outer end thereof. The locking element is integral with the bracket and formed of the same platelike material so as to be stiff yet slightly resilient, thereby ensuring positive seating of the locking projection within the slot when the bracket is properly seated on the upright.
