Abstract
A shelf bracket system including a body portion, a first protrusion, a second protrusion and at least one shim is disclosed. The body portion includes a front surface, a rear surface, and a top surface disposed at an angle with respect to a horizontal axis. The first protrusion extends from the rear surface of the body and at least a portion of the first protrusion is insertable into a slot in a support. The second protrusion extends from the rear surface of the body. The shim is positionable in mechanical cooperation with at least one of the first and second protrusions to adjust the angle of the top surface.

A shelf bracket system, comprising:
- a body including a front surface, a rear surface, and a top surface disposed at an angle Θ with respect to a horizontal axis;
- a first protrusion extending from the rear surface of the body, at least a portion of the first protrusion being insertable into a slot in a support;
- a second protrusion extending from the rear surface of the body;
- and
- at least one shim positionable in mechanical cooperation with at least one of the first and second protrusions;
- whereby positioning the shim adjusts the angle Θ of the top surface.
A shelving system, comprising:
- at least one support including a plurality of slots therein;
- at least one shelf bracket insertable into the support, the shelf bracket including:
- a body including a front surface, a rear surface, and a top surface disposed at an angle Θ with respect to a horizontal axis;
- a first protrusion extending from the rear surface of the body, at least a portion of the first protrusion being insertable into a slot in the support;
- and
- a second protrusion extending from the rear surface of the body;
- at least one shim positionable in mechanical cooperation with at least one of the first and second protrusions to adjust the angle Θ;
- and
- a shelf positionable on the shelf bracket.
