ABSTRACT:
A shelf restraint for holding books and other objects on a shelf in the event of an earthquake comprises a pair of identical bookends on the shelf, each with a deep central slot into which a rod is pivoted to form a gate spanning the space between the bookends. The gate is easily lifted for removal of a book and drops to a position near the center of the bookend for retaining the books.
