ABSTRACT:
A shelf apparatus includes at least one horizontal shelf and a plurality of hollow support means connected to said shelf by a compressible, expansible attaching means. According to the preferred embodiment the support means comprise bottles and the attaching means comprises a rubber-like plug which in its non-expanded state fits easily into the neck of the bottle. The plug is connected to the shelf by a bolt which passes through a hole in the shelf and also passes through a hole in the plug. An anchoring device such as a nut and washer combination is connected to the bolt just below the plug member. Rotation of the bolt causes the anchor device to pull up against the base of the rubber plug thereby causing it to expand against the inside of the neck of the bottle. The expanded rubber plug firmly connects the bottle support to the shelf above it. A variety of different devices can be constructed in this manner including ornamental shelving arrangements, bookcases, coffee tables, and like items.
