Abstract
A sliding shelf divider comprises a generally U-shaped channel and a divider slidable along the channel. The channel has steps at the intersections of the side and bottom walls. The divider comprises a base member having a plate portion with a tab depending therefrom. The base member also has an upstanding ridge with a portion that overhangs the plate portion bottom edge. The tab and overhanging ridge portion form a slot for receiving a channel wall. The tab free end contacts the interior surface of the channel step for supporting the base member, and the free end of the overhanging ridge has a hook that engages the step exterior surface. The base member is thus retained on and slidable along the channel. A wire frame is received within a groove in the ridge. Tilting the base member disengages the hook from the channel for easy disassembly of the base member from the channel.
