Abstract

A multiposition shelf attaching is disclosed, which device is adapted for use with shelving standards or with wire-grid walls. The device is a wire formative and is constructed from either a round or a square wire extrusion. The anterior portion of the device, when installed in a first position, that is, usually with the shelf-being-attached horizontal (or normal to the face plane of the grid or standard), lies in a plane substantially parallel to the face plane. The posterior portion has two or more clips or stops connected serially to the anterior portion. Each clip has a load-bearing portion and a descender portion connected at substantially right angles to the load-bearing portion. When installed, the load-bearing portion of the selected clip means rests upon the lower edge of the opening in the standard or grid and the descender abuts the rear plane thereof. The first in the series of clips may be dimensioned to hold the shelf horizontally with the descender thereof substantially parallel to the anterior portion. The successive stops tilt the shelf downward to the extent limited by the dimensions of the wire form and the dimensions of the bracket. The wire form is dimensioned so that the draft required for placement within the standard is less than the opening therewithin.
