Divider with resilient base engagement

An adjustable divider arrangement for use in a shelf or file cabinet, of the type provided with a horizontal base member having a longitudinal axis, and a divider member for engaging with the base member at a selective location along the longitudinal axis of said base member, said adjustable divider arrangement futher comprising:

• (a) a notch means formed in said base member parallel with its longitudinal axis, said notch means having a reference plane portion offset from, and below, a base plane of said base member by a predetermined offset distance, said notch and base member formed of a continuous piece of the same material;
• (b) first and second wall portions for coupling said reference plane portion to said base plane of said member, said first wall portion forming an acute angle with respect to said reference plane of said notch and said second wall portion orthogonal with respect to said reference plane of said notch;
• (c) a first distance between said first and second wall portions at said reference plane being greater than a second distance between said first and second wall protions at said base plane of said base member;
• (d) a trough formed in said base member parallel to said notch means;
• (e) said divider member formed of a continuous wire like material, a first end of which is bent to form a generally "U" shaped engagement means having first and second longitudinal portions arranged substantially parallel with each other for communicating with respective ones of said first and second wall portions, and a resilient portion for connecting said first and second longitudinal portions to one another and;
• (f) a divider portion of said divider member extending outwardly from said notch and formed so that a second end of said divider member engages said trough to preventing rotation of said divider about said notch means.
