ABSTRACT:
A shelving assembly having vertical standards and brackets thereon suspending shelves therebetween by steel mounting pins projecting from channels in reinforcing beams recessed into the bottom of the shelves. The mounting pins extend into openings in the brackets. These openings, when in the form of recesses in the upper edge of the brackets, are configured with an overhand lip to prevent shelf tipping. These openings, when in bookend brackets are in alternate pairs to allow the shelf to be horizontal or tilted diagonally.
The pins have a steel core, preferably jacketed with polymer having an integral peripheral flexible fin for a friction fit in the channels. These pins have peripheral grooves configured to interengage with plate type brackets. The pins have three such grooves so that they can serve to support one end of one shelf on the bracket or the adjacent ends of two shelves on a common bracket.
Glass shelves can be mounted using pin socket shelf mounts having a pin receiving socket in a body, an outer shelf support surface, and a resilient clip for attachment to the shelf.
