ABSTRACT:
A wire shelf and cover assembly is disclosed. The wire shelf has at least two parallel, spaced apart support bars and a plurality of parallel, spaced apart, coplanar cross bars fastened at right angles to the support bars. The cover has a generally planar, rectangular sheet of material adapted to rest upon the cross bars of the wire shelf. A securing mechanism is fastened to the sheet of material and adapted to engage at least a portion of the wire shelf to retain the sheet of material in a fixed position relative to the wire shelf. Preferably the securing mechanism includes at least one tab which is coplanar with the sheet of material and bendable to extend downwardly from at least one of the front edge and the back edge, to fit between an adjacent pair of the cross bars of the shelf, and to lockingly engage the adjacent cross bars. A method of covering the wire shelf, is also disclosed. The sheet of material is rested upon the cross bars of the wire shelf and the tab is bent between an adjacent pair of the cross bars to retain the sheet of material in a fixed position relative to the wire shelf. The pair of adjacent cross bars of the wire shelf is seated in a pair of opposing notches in the periphery of the tab.
