Abstract
The modular shelving system consists of one or more uprights (1) in combination with respective supporting shelving brackets (10, 11) which engage with the uprights (1) by means of slots (7) provided in the uprights (1). The brackets (10, 11) act to support a shelf (5) which is attached to the brackets by means of a screw (9) which passes through the bracket (10, 11) to the underneath of the shelf (5). To ensure accurate alignment of the screw (9), a screw guide (17) is provided within the bracket (10, 11) which is releasably held within the bracket (10, 11) by means of biased lugs (23) which engage with apertures (16) provided in the walls of the bracket (10, 11). In addition to ensuring that the screw cuts into the underneath of the shelf (5) substantially perpendicular to its surface, the screw guide (17) is removable detachable from the bracket (10, 11) so that when it is desired to reposition the shelf (5) the need to cut new screw holes in the shelf (5) is avoided as the screw guide (17) with the screw (9) is removed from the bracket (10, 11) and stays with the shelf (5) whilst the brackets are repositioned on the uprights (1).
