Abstract

See full text

A shelf divider includes a front rail which extends along the length of a shelf and one or more divider arms releasably secured to the front rail and extending toward the back of the shelf. The front rail is formed with upper and lower clips which project generally upwardly from the back surface of the front rail and which are formed along the length of the rail. Each divider arm is formed with a snap clip and a finger which extend generally downwardly from the forward end of the divider arm and which are configured to engage the upwardly projecting upper clip and lower clip, respectively. The divider arm is secured to the front rail by moving the divider arm in a downward direction from a slightly raised position with the front end of the divider arm adjacent the back surface of the front rail. As the divider arm approaches the shelf, the finger slidably engages the lower clip and the snap clip resiliently interlocks with the upper clip. The divider arm is released from the front rail by raising the divider arm upwardly so that the snap clip disengages from the upper clip.
