Abstract: The modular shelving system consists of one or more uprights (1) in combination with respective supporting shelving brackets (10, 11) which engage with the uprights (1) by means of slots (7) provided in the uprights (1). The brackets (10, 11) act to support a shelf (5) which is attached to the brackets by means of a screw (9) which passes through the bracket (10, 11) to the underneath of the shelf (5). To ensure accurate alignment of the screw (9), a screw guide (17) is provided within the bracket (10, 11) which is releasably held within the bracket (10, 11) by means of biased lugs (23) which engage with apertures (16) provided in the walls of the bracket (10, 11).

Abstract: A shelf holder has a first component which supports the underside of the shelf and a second component which grips the top of the shelf, being tightened by screws. The component slides vertically relative to the component, and has feet which project through vertical openings in a wall-engaging part of the first component, the feet having slots which engage the sides of the openings and provide stability. In order to conceal the mechanism, there is a top cover piece which clips over the top lip and a bottom cover piece in two parts, the first of which lies on top of the support part of the first component and the second of which conceals the bottom portion of the shelf holder.

Abstract: The shelf support is of the type which extends along the whole of the rear of a glass shelf. The shelf is inserted in a slot formed between a support member and a retaining member so that the shelf is retained as a cantilever. The retaining member carries an elastically-deformable strip which has a main part and spaced protuberances along its bottom. The retaining member is also of special construction, being of generally triangular shape with a slot in its bottom for receiving an upwards projection on the strip and holding the strip in position along the underside of the retaining member.
