Abstract
A shelf mounting system (100) is provided for releasably coupling a display shelf (10) to a substantially vertical planar surface (44) of a vertical support (40). The shelf mounting system (100) includes a bracket member (30) having a substantially vertically directed slot (38) at a first end (37). The bracket member (30) is adapted for coupling to a slotted standard (40) by a pair of hook shaped projections (32and 34) on a second end (39). Shelf mounting system (100) further includes an adaptor assembly (20) wherein an adaptor (22) is fixedly coupled on a first end (21) to a display shelf (10) and releasably coupled to the bracket member (30). The adaptor (20) further includes a pin (28) fixedly coupled within a pair of aligned poles (25 and 27) which engages the slot (38) of mounting bracket (30). Display shelf (10) is therefore supported by adaptor assembly (20), wherein pin (28) is engaged within slot (38) of mounting bracket (30) to support a portion of the load, and by second end (23) which bears against surface (44) of slotted standard (40) which distributes the remainder of the structural load.
