Abstract

A partition for separating merchandise or allocating space on perforated shelving includes an elongated planar body member and a pair of spaced feet extending laterally from one elongated edge of the body member. The integrally molded partition is made of a resilient yet stiff material such that the planar body member may be twisted about a longitudinal axis to insert first one and then the other of the feet into spaced perforations in the shelving. When the twist is released the partition is held firmly on the shelving in an upright position.
