Abstract

An attachment bracket for a shelf support system, adapted for being mounted to a post of square cross-section and for receiving a portion of a shelf unit therein, comprises a bracket. The bracket has a back wall defining a bottom, a top and vertical edges, and side arms, extending laterally from the vertical edges of the back wall, whereby defining outer surfaces and inner surfaces of the bracket. First protrusions are located on the inner surfaces of the bracket and are adapted for mating engagement with a corresponding indentation in the post for being vertically secured thereto. The side arms comprise slots adapted for supporting a portion of the shelf unit therein. The slots have friction edge portions, adapted for the captive engagement of the portion of the shelf unit therein. The inner surface of one of the side arms has a second protrusion at a predetermined distance from the back wall, whereby the bracket is adapted for snap-fitting engagement with the corner post. The inner surface of the back wall has a third protrusion, whereby adapted for biasing the bracket outwardly from the corner post when the bracket is matingly engaged therewith for forcing the portion of the shelf secured thereto against the post.
