Abstract
A support clip for use with shelving, particularly open wire type shelving, that will permit the shelving to be pivoted through a vertical arc but which otherwise stabilizes and limits horizontal movement. The clip is provided with a compound opening area to receive in a snap-fit fashion and allow the pivotal movement of a straight wire portion of the side support wires of the wire shelving. The clip is mounted on a vertical support post and the rear face of the clip is designed to fit around and engage that vertical post. With such a clip adjacent the four corners of a shelf and secured to four vertical support posts (two front and two rear posts), the shelf is pivotal relative to the posts which will allow the shelf and the front posts to be moved through an upward arc toward the rear posts thus folding the shelf.
