Abstract: A sturdy, easily constructed shelving support system for homes, stores and offices. The system uses shelf hangers and wall brackets, employing a novel, push-fit interlocking connector. The shelf hanger is fabricated as a rigid wire member, bent into a V-shape and connected at its ends to a right angled upright member by the push-fit connector locked into a square opening formed In the upright. The lower leg of the shelf hanger is suspended by the support leg, with its end portion flush against the upright wall, so that It does not rotate, to provide a stable support for a shelf end. The push-fit connectors are easily locked into the openings In the upright member, and may be quickly removed and re-positioned, enabling quick and easy construction of an entire shelving system within minutes, or easy alteration of its layout. A feature of the invention is that in addition to its support function, the support leg acts as a shelf book-end.

Abstract: Disclosed is a merchandise display rack also known as a "gondola", in which each post has a bottom and from which two flat tabs horizontally extend away in the same direction as hookable half-bases used to hold the post vertical. A retaining pin is rigidly connected to each half-base or tab is in such a manner as to engage and fit into a corresponding hole made in the corresponding tab or half-base when this half-base is rigidly connected to the post. As a result, most of the shearing force that usually applies to the lower hooks of the half-bases when the rack is loaded with merchandise onto one size only, is transferred to the tabs by the retaining pins, thereby making it possible for the rack to receive a heavier load on this one size.
