ABSTRACT:
A shelving assembly particularly useful for displaying or storing merchandise in commercial establishments in any of several ways tailored to meet the needs of that establishment. The components are capable of being combined to produce an assembly with any selected number of inclined shelves where automatic forward gravity feed of the articles to be supported upon said shelves is desired. Alternatively, the same components may be assembled to provide a unit having any desired number of horizontal shelves. Again, depending on the needs of the user, such shelves may be oriented so that protective rims extend about their horizontal top surfaces, or they may be oriented so that no such rims are provided. Dividers may be attached to the shelves to segregate the articles to be supported thereon and, especially when such shelves are to be assembled in inclined positions, stop members may be affixed to the shelves adjacent their forward edges to retain articles sliding forwardly upon such shelves under the influence of gravity.
