Partial banding means for display shelves

A banding member for use as partial banding along an edge of a display shelf in combination with a vertical planar member serving as a partition on said shelf, said vertical planar member having a vertical mounting slot therein adjacent the display shelf edge for receiving and supporting said banding member therein in an essentially perpendicular relationship with said vertical planar member, said banding member comprising:

• two interchangeable planar members of essentially similar configuration each having first and second faces, first and second vertical edges, first and second horizontal edges, a tongue extending along the first vertical edge and projecting in the direction of, but terminating short of, the plane of the first face, said tongue defining a vertical groove spaced from the first vertical edge, said tongues and grooves on said planar members being of such dimensions that with the tongue of each planar member engaging the groove of the other planar member an elongated banding member is formed with the first face of each planar member and the second face of the other planar member forming continuous planar surfaces, and means on each face of each planar member adjacent the first edge which forms together with similar means on the other planar member, a vertical channel dimensioned to straddle the vertical planar member and prevent lateral movement of the banding member with respect thereto as the elongated planar member is inserted into said vertical mounting slot and extends in both directions from the vertical member along said edge of the display shelf.
