ABSTRACT:
A shelf divider adapted for mounting within shelf spaces of differing heights generally includes a divider member defining a series of edges. Engagement tabs extend from the edges, and include a first pair of tabs on one edge and a second pair of tabs on another edge. A stabilizing tab extends from an edge opposite the first pair of tabs, and a stabilizing tab also extends from an edge opposite the second pair of tabs. Each shelf member includes a row of slots in an upper support wall, and also includes a row of slots in a lower, downwardly facing wall. The shelf divider is dimensioned and configured such that it can be positioned in a first orientation and engaged within a shelf space having a first height, by engaging the first pair of tabs with slots in the lower shelf member and engaging the oppositely-located stabilizing tab within the downwardly facing slot in the shelf member thereabove. The same shelf divider can also be used to divide a shelf space having a different height by positioning the shelf divider in a second orientation in which the second pair of tabs are received within the slots in the lower shelf member of the second shelf space. The oppositely-extending stabilizing tab is received within the downwardly facing slot in the shelf member located thereabove for stabilizing the shelf divider against lateral forces.
