  • Patent number: 3964404
    Abstract: A shelf and corner post assembly wherein the shelf is adjustable into any of a variety of selected elevations. Each of the generally cylindrical corner posts is provided with one or more series of indentations adapted to receive arm portions of a U-shaped clip. A screw urges the clip into engagement with the post to clamp the post within a corner section of the perimetric frame of the shelf. A corner brace is secured to the frame and, in one form, extends horizontally between the upper and lower arms of the clip. The frame includes flanges which slope to promote drainage and edges which are spaced from the clip to prevent possible dirt accumulation and to facilitate assembly.
