Abstract
An adjustable shelf assembly intended primarily for use with a rack having a plurality of spaced, slotted generally vertical uprights is disclosed. The adjustable shelf assembly includes a generally planar rectangular shelf pan to which are secured front and rear shelf support tabs. The tabs at the rear of the shelf are fixed while those at the front are slideable forwardly and rearwardly with respect to the shelf pan. An actuator button is provided for each of the slideable shelf support tabs which are biased forwardly by coil springs. Rearward force applied to the actuator buttons causes the slideable forward shelf tabs to move to the rear so that the shelf can be disconnected from the rack frame.
