Abstract
A partition for segregating merchandise on perforated shelving includes an elongated planar body member with a flange extending along one elongated edge thereof which terminates at each end in tongues extending parallel to the elongated body. The partition is integrally molded from flexible yet stiff material such that the tongues may be deflected downward to insert the same in spaced perforations in the shelving where they bear against the underside of the shelving to secure the resilient partition in an upright position. Alternatively, the tongues may extend from spaced projections extending from the elongated edge near the two ends of the partition and one of the projections may be provided with conventional undercut hooks for engaging the perforation while the resilient tongues on the projections at the opposite end of the partition secure it in an upright position.
