  • Patent number: 4378925
    Abstract: An adjustable shelf assembly in which the shelf support is both vertically and angularly adjustable with respect to a vertical channel to which the shelf support connects. The shelf support has projections at its base which engage corresponding notches in the vertical channel to form the connection of the two parts. The uppermost projection is double T-shaped and the notches are also T-shaped. The use of a T-shape on both the shelf support and vertical channel provides a rigid and positive connection.
