Claims6
A shelf support strip comprising:
- a. an elongated base member including a web formed from a synthetic resinous material;
- and
- b. a series of longitudinally spaced shelf support members integral with said web and projecting therefrom to present a shelf support surface perpendicular to said web and a generally conical force transmitting portion formed as a vertical sectional portion of an inverted cone and connecting said perpendicular shelf support surface to said web, said shelf support surface constituting the base of the conical portion, said conical portion being integrtal with said web along the entire periphery thereof, said web being apertured at the occurrence of each said shelf support member, said shelf support member possessing the characteristic of flexibility and resilience whereby pressure exerted against said support member in a direction toward said web causes resilient collapse of the shelf support member through said associated aperture in the web.
