  • Display shelf lock
    Patent number: 4324379
    Abstract: A lock for a shaft bracket of the type having hooks which engage slots in an upright support member. The lock prevents inadvertent raising of the shelf support bracket hooks which could cause the hooks to fall out of the slots. The lock is of one-piece construction having clips which slidably engage the shelf support bracket. An ear on the lock projects into a slot of the upright support member, adjacent the top edge of the slot. The ear prevents vertical movement which could release the hook from the slot.
