Abstract

A shelving system is designed for use in conjunction with a store gondola unit having a pair of uprights for conventional shelves. The system has a pair of auxiliary uprights which are mounted to a crossbar which in turn can be affixed to the gondola uprights. The auxiliary uprights are of a right-angle construction, each of the legs of the construction being provided with closely spaced apertures. Horizontal shelf supports are mounted to the auxiliary uprights, engagement occurring in two perpendicular planes to rigidly lock the shelf supports in position. A shelf is slidably mounted to the horizontal supports, and may include front and rear portions, the rear portion being pivotable between a horizontal and an elevated position. The front portion may include a well at the front thereof to further maintain product at the front of the shelf. The rear shelf portion, when pivoted upwardly, allows inventory stocked on a next-lower shelf to extend upward into the space otherwise occupied by the rear shelf portion when in the horizontal position, thereby providing for additional inventory storage space.
