ABSTRACT:
In the combination of a shelf and a shelf-supporting apparatus, the shelf has a longitudinal axis and an end surface coincident with such axis. The apparatus supports the shelf at the shelf end surface. In the improvement, the shelf includes first and second support pins extending from the end surface in a direction parallel to the axis. These support pins define a first spacing dimension. The apparatus includes a support member having a first or forward slot and a second or rearward slot. Each slot has a pin-support portion with a clearance region therebetween. The clearance region has first and second boundaries, the second slot includes a pivot portion and the pivot portion and the first boundary define a second spacing dimension slightly greater than the first spacing dimension. The combination is adaptable to a wide variety of shelf types and has particular utility when used in a store fixture for retail display of articles offered for sale.
