Abstract

A shelf mounting bracket includes a flat rectangular plate having top and bottom edges, and opposite side edges. Integral flanges extend from the side edges perpendicular to the plate and upwardly opening shelf support hooks are formed at the bottom end portions of the flanges. A pair of elongated slots is provided in the plate intermediate the top and bottom edges thereof. The slots are spaced-apart from one another and are elongated in a direction extending across the plate side edges. The slots are alignable with holes in a vertical column of a storage rack having a column front face against which the plate is positioned with the flanges extending along side faces of the column. Holes in the column are aligned with the slots and a U-shaped bolt has its threaded legs extending through the column holes and plate slots. Nuts received on the threaded legs hold the plate against the column.
