ABSTRACT:
An adapter member for angularly orienting at least one horizontally disposed shelf member in a modular display unit having one or more similar shelf members vertically arranged in spaced apart relationship one above the other and a plurality of support members disposed therebetween, the adapter member having first and second opposed end portions, the first adapter end portion being adapted to cooperatively engage respective upper and lower portions associated with each of the shelf members, the second adapter end portion being adapted to cooperatively engage the opposed end portions of each of the support members, the first and second adapter end portions being angularly related and tranversely offset relative to each other such that when a plurality of adapter members are operatively positioned between and engaged with the respective shelf members and support members forming the modular display unit, the shelf members engaged with the adapter members will be angularly oriented relative to the horizontal and the support members will be in corresponding vertical alignment with each other throughout the unit. The present adapter is constructed so as to be compatible and engageable with the cooperatively engageable components associated with many known modular display units, and conversion is achieved by integrally incorporating a plurality of the present adapter members into such units in a particular combination and orientation with existing components to form the desired configuration.
