ABSTRACT:
For supporting a variety of brochures, magazines, catalogs and other "soft" reading material as well as hard-cover books in an upright position, this bookrack may be readily assembled by an unskilled person, without tools or additional fastening hardware, from only two configurations of economically manufactured parts: molded plastic partitions and base/back panels which can be readily extended in multiples by integral edge fastenings as well as individually shortened at scored breakoff lines to obtain a desired total length to permit retrofitting onto existing bookshelves. Keystone-shaped tabs on the partitions interlock with keyed slots in the panels to fasten the panels and partitions together, retained by a simple integral detent system. Panels and partitions are made as thin as practically possible to achieve high space efficiency, and all fastenings are concealed to eliminate obstructions that could interfere with reading material being accommodated in the bookrack.
