Abstract
A sleeve-like covering is provided for a shelving bracket, in particular a bracket that is usually formed from sheet metal as an elongated, blade-like arm having mounting hooks engageable in selected slots of a vertical standard. The covering is formed with an upwardly opening kerf or groove receiving an otherwise basically conventional shelf bracket of the type described, and has means for tightly gripping the bracket responsive to engagement of the blade-like bracket arm in the groove. When so applied, the covering completely conceals the metallic blade to enhance the appearance of a shelving system. The covering may be formed of wood adapted to match or harmoniously blend or contrast with the shelving material. Or, the bracket cover may in some instances be of a molded plastic, again selected to complement the shelves supported thereon.
