ABSTRACT:
An improved modular wall or shelf assembly is disclosed which may be locked into place. The assembly comprises an upright support for supporting the modular wall or shelf component and a mounting bracket connected to the modular wall or shelf component along a vertical plane for adjustably affixing the modular wall or shelf component to the upright support. The mounting bracket is composed of two parts, namely an upper bracket member and a lower bracket member. The upper bracket has an elongated body portion which is adapted to be connected to the upper portion of the modular wall or shelf component and a plurality of linearly aligned tabs. The tabs extend outwardly and each have a horizontal lower lip for supporting the vertical load of the modular component. All of the tabs, except the uppermost tab, have an upper lip which extends horizontally or downwardly. The uppermost tab has an upper lip which has an upwardly projecting finger adapted to communicate with the upright support and to prevent lateral displacement of the top portion of the modular wall or shelf component. The lower bracket has a shortened body portion and at least one linearly aligned tab. These tabs are the same as the tabs on the upper bracket with the uppermost tab having the upwardly projecting finger. The lower bracket is adapted to be connected to the lower portion of the wall or shelf component and when connected locks the wall or shelf component to the upright support.
