Abstract
The invention relates to an adjustable shelf system having a shelf with a series of tracks. Connected to the shelf is at least one adjustable support bracket. The support bracket is adjustable because it has a series of vertical tracks connected to a series of horizontal tracks. A shelf bar is slidable within these tracks and allows the shelf to be adjusted based upon its angle and spacing from a slotted wall. Display material can be placed on the shelf in a stack and supported by a weighted pusher. The weighted pusher supports these books by sliding within the tracks of the shelf to a front plate. The front plate is designed to support this display material and also stop the pusher from sliding off an end of the track.
Claims22
An adjustable shelf system connected to a support element comprising:
- at least one shelf having at least one channel;
- at least one shelf supporting bracket for connecting said at least one shelf to the support;
- at least one adjustable divider for dividing said at least one shelf, said at least one adjustable divider being positioned in said at least one shelf substantially parallel to said at least one channel;
- at least one connecting system for connecting said at least one shelf to at least one additional shelf;
- at least one front plate disposed on said shelf;
- and
- at least one pusher for sliding down said at least one channel to said at least one front plate;
- wherein a plurality of items for display set upon said shelf are stacked between said at least one pusher and said at least one front plate so that said at least one pusher slides down said at least one channel and supports the display items in an upright manner.
A support bracket for supporting a shelf on a slotted wall, the bracket comprising:
- a) a side plate for connecting to the shelf;
- and
- b) an end plate attached to the side plate, the end plate for connecting to the slotted wall;
- wherein said side plate has at least one substantially horizontal slot and at least two substantially vertical slots so that the shelf can be adjusted to at least two different depths from the slotted wall and at least two different angles from the slotted wall.
An adjustable shelf system connected to a support element comprising:
- at least one shelf having at least one channel;
- at least one shelf-supporting bracket for connecting said at least one shelf to the support;
- at least one adjustable divider for dividing said at least one shelf, said at least one adjustable divider being positioned in said at least one shelf substantially parallel to said at least one channel;
- at least one front plate disposed on said shelf;
- at least one pusher for sliding down said at least one channel to said at least one front plate;
- and
- at least one substantially upright support plate disposed on said pusher for supporting a display object upright on said pusher;
- wherein a plurality of items for display set upon said shelf are stacked between said at least one pusher and said at least one front plate so that said at least one pusher slides down said at least one channel and supports the display items in an upright manner.
An adjustable shelf system connected to a support element comprising:
- at least one shelf having at least one channel;
- at least one shelf-supporting bracket for connecting said at least one shelf to the support;
- at least one adjustable divider for dividing said at least one shelf, said at least one adjustable divider being positioned in said at least one shelf substantially parallel to said at least one channel;
- at least one front plate disposed on said shelf;
- wherein said shelf can be adjusted to at least two different depths from the support element and also adjusted to at least two different angles with respect to the support element by adjusting said shelf in said at least one shelf-supporting bracket.
