ABSTRACT:
In a soft drink merchandising gondola, a base shelf is convertible from a horizontal to a forwardly or rearwardly inclined condition by a reversible adapter interposable between the base shelf and a base shelf support. The adapter comprises a pair of wedges and a brace, and can be taken down, reassembled in compact form, and stowed underneath the base shelf when the base shelf is horizontal. The brace engages the elements of the base shelf support, to prevent horizontal movement of the brace along the direction of its length. Each wedge-shaped element has a split tab, receivable in either of two slots in the upper surface of a base shelf support element, and accessible by a screwdriver from the side of the base for spreading the tab elements to lock the tab in its slot. A dual-purpose panel serves as a stop to prevent articles from sliding off the base shelf when the shelf is forwardly inclined, and as a lower extension of the back panels of the gondola when the base shelf is horizontal or rearwardly inclined. The panel substantially meets the surface of the base shelf both when the shelf is horizontal, and when the base shelf is rearwardly inclined.
