Abstract
A bottle support configured to interact with a shelf includes a brace, hooks, and resilient clips. The brace defines a notch configured to engage bottles disposed on the shelf. The hooks extend from the brace and are configured to engage an upper region of the shelf such that bottle holder slidably engages the shelf. The resilient clips extend downward from the hooks and are configured to snap onto a lower region of the shelf to connect the brace to the shelf. The engagement between the hooks and the shelf is configured to facilitate lateral movement of the brace. The engagement between the hooks and the shelf is configured to restrict forward and rearward movement of the brace. Engagement between the clips and the shelf is configured to restrict vertical movement of the brace.
