ABSTRACT:
In a four-post merchandizer, two light-gauge sheet metal corner posts are reinforced against twisting by a dual camming action by which the two posts are urged tightly against the corners of the shelves. Each post comprises two telescoping post sections, and a unitary coilable, flexible trim sheet, received in grooves formed in the post elements, and extending from one end of the post to the other. The posts have a W-shaped horizontal cross-section, in which a pocket is formed for receiving the ends of shelf hooks, thereby protecting the flexible trim from damage. Base panels are secured together by sliding a first flange of one panel into a pocket formed by second and third flanges of another panel and two perpendicular surfaces of a post. By tapering the ends of the first and third flanges, the entry of the first flange into the pocket can be carried out without careful initial alignment. Pairs of post elements are permanently secured in parallel relationship to each other at opposite ends of base panels to provide U-shaped units to facilitate on-site assembly.
