Abstract
An adaptor for facilitating mounting of a shelf divider for pivoting around an axis perpendicular to uniformly spaced apart wires of a shelf include a frame having side members that are fixedly spaced apart, an axle extending between the side members on which a shelf divider can be pivotably mounted, and snap-fit connectors configured to releasably secure the adaptor onto spaced apart parallel wires of a wire shelf.

A clip-on adaptor for pivotably supporting an inventory divider adapted to be pivoted around a wire of a wire-shelf, the adaptor facilitating pivoting of the inventory divider around an axis perpendicular to the length direction of the wires of the wire shelf, the adaptor comprising:
- a frame having two spaced apart longitudinal members;
- an axle attached at its opposite ends to the spaced apart longitudinal members, the axle configured to pivotably support the inventory divider;
- a resiliently flexible clip dependent from each of the longitudinal members, the resiliently flexible clips configured for releasably engaging parallel wires of the wire-shelf;
- a transverse member extending between and connected with the spaced apart longitudinal members;
- and
- a resiliently flexible clip dependent from the transverse member for releasably engaging a cross-wire of the wire-shelf.
An inventory system comprising:
- a wire shelf having a plurality of parallel uniformly spaced apart wires and at least one cross-wire oriented perpendicularly to the plurality of parallel wires;
- an adaptor mounted on the wire shelf, the adaptor including a frame having two spaced apart longitudinal members;
- an axle attached at its opposite ends to the spaced apart longitudinal members, the axle configured to pivotably support the inventory divider;
- a resiliently flexible clip dependent from each of the longitudinal members, the resiliently flexible clips configured for releasably engaging parallel wires of the wire-shelf;
- a transverse member extending between and connected with the spaced apart longitudinal members;
- and a resiliently flexible clip dependent from the transverse member for releasably engaging a cross-wire of the wire-shelf;
- and
- a hinge clip removably mounted to the adaptor for rotation around the axle between an upright position and a lowered position.
