ABSTRACT:
A bookshelf has a longitudinally extending slot formed therein. At least one book support member is movably mounted on a top surface of the bookshelf. A lock assembly is carried in the book support member and has a first actuator extending externally from one end of the book support member to facilitate rotation of the lock assembly, and a second opposed end movably disposed within the slot in a shelf. Rotation of the actuator effects rotation of a drive rod connected to the actuator at one end and to a nut at an opposite end. Outwardly extending legs on the nut are engagable with the shelf to fixedly lock the bookend to the shelf. Rotation of the actuator in an opposite direction releases the legs from engagement with the shelf to enable selective repositioning of the bookend along the shelf.
