Abstract
A shelf support system for a 'knock-down' type shelving system having adjustable height shelves includes a support post having a generally right equilateral triangular cross-section. A wedge member is disposed on the interior face of the support post by a snap-on operation, and is located at a predetermined height thereon by detent apparatus cooperating therebetween. A corner bracket is structurally associated with a corner of the shelf to be supported, and is formed with a tapered face for cooperating with the wedge member. A snap-on collar is provided for forming together with the corner bracket a triangular sleeve around the support post, the collar resiliently engaging the corner bracket, such that the sleeve may be seated on the wedge member by wedge action, thus the shelf may be supported on the support post at the predetermined height.
