Abstract

The shelving apparatus, especially for a goods-carrying motor vehicle, includes two horizontal guide rods, each having a fixed support mounted thereon as well as a slider, at least one adjustable shelf including a set of rectangular components, each of the rectangular components being positionable lengthwise side-by-side, and two foldable parallelogram devices (80,81) for mounting the rectangular components on the horizontal guide rods. Each of the parallelogram devices includes a plurality of adjacent pivotally interconnected pairs of X-bars and is connected to one of the fixed supports at one end and one of the sliders at the other end, so that each of the rectangular components is movably connected by each of the foldable parallelogram devices to each of the guide rods, and, when the sliders are positioned at a minimum distance from the fixed supports, all the rectangular components stand substantially vertical, but, when the sliders are moved from the minimum position adjacent the fixed supports, the X-bars become inclined and, when the sliders have been moved as far as possible frm the fixed supports, the rectangular components are positioned in the substantially horizontal orientation on the guide rods thus forming a substantially continuous shelf.
