Abstract

An adjustable shelf device is used with a conventional filing cabinet, shelving or the like to readily form the cabinet space into various sized compartments to thereby permit efficient use of the cabinet space. The shelf device includes a pair of shelf structures which have overlapping vertical and horizontal shelves that are longitudinally shiftable relative to each other to permit adjustment of the overall length of the shelf device to thereby accommodate cabinets or shelving of various sizes. Vertical dividers project into registering openings in the overlapped portions of the shelf structure to releasably lock the shelf device in an adjusted position.
