Abstract
A shelving assembly having vertical standards and cantilever brackets, an elongated generally U-shaped cover over each standard, its legs being resiliently biased toward the standard, and there being a space extending in from the apex of the cover and straddled by flanges which integrally join a cross piece forming webs and vertically spaced slots generally coinciding with slots in the standard. The legs hold the cover on the standard. The bracket holds the cover vertically in place. The cover flanges laterally stabilize the bracket. Caps and collars project from the ends of the standards. The brackets have slotted shelving mounts fitted in upper edge recesses of the brackets, each mount having an upper adhesive pad and a vertical jack for temporarily holding a shelf up off the adhesive. The jacks are shiftable down under limited predetermined force to lower the shelf onto the adhesive for anchoring. A wire clip for guiding an electric wire is attachable to the standard by lug engagement.
