Abstract: A modular tiered rack assembly includes at least two merchandise support racks suspended in a tiered configuration and brackets for fixing the tiers of racks to a support structure. Each rack has formations which enable it to be fixed to the brackets and/or to the rack above it in the tiered configuration. The brackets include an anchor bracket engageable with the support structure and the uppermost rack and at least one hanger bracket removably suspendable from the anchor bracket. The anchor and hanger brackets have landings for supporting the base of a rack. The racks are fixed to the brackets by suction pads and act as tie elements, whereby the structure formed by the brackets and the tie elements is of a stable construction. The tie elements can be one or more of the racks or a separate tie bar.

A gripping and facia element is located on heads of the rods. The gripping member has springs, which are contained in a housing formed by cooperating elements. To operate the gripping member, pressure is applied along the axis of the rods. On release of the pressure, the assembly returns to its closed position.

Abstract: The riser and divider system of the invention includes risers 1, dividers 2, two divider connectors 3 on each divider 2 and cross divider. Each connector 3 has a hook 5 which grips the riser 1 or other divider 2. A tongue 4 is provided on each divider 2 for the retention of the connector 3. The pinned riser fixing component 21 comprises a plug 22 having a shoulder 23 and pin 24. The shoulder 23 fits in the corresponding shaped cut-out and the pin 24 fits through poles provided in the shelf. The system also includes an end-stop 28 which is fixed to the end of each riser 1.
