ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a shelf divider for separating groups of products arranged on display shelves or the like and takes the form of a relatively thin vertical panel or partition which is self-maintained in upstanding condition on the shelf surface by laterally extending stabilizing feet adjacent each end and is preferably molded from tough, durable plastic. The partition is made of two (or more) co-planar sections interconnected in adjacent abutting pairs by at least one telescoping longitudinally extending mating elongated U-shaped tongue and slot connection permitting lengthwise adjustment of the sections to fit different shelving widths. The tongue and slot are held against lateral disengagement by shaping their proximate upper and lower edges as V-shaped (in cross-section) protrusions and grooves which mate together while permitting relative longitudinal movement of the sections. Free ends of the slotted section legs are fixed against vertical separation by small vertical straps attached at their ends to opposite sides of the slot legs and defining therebetween a vertically directed narrow channel slidably penetrated by the tongue of another section.
