Abstract
A shelving system comprising a shelf, a vertical support structure, and a shelf bracket. The shelf bracket consists of a base member and a fastener to secure the base member to a vertical support structure, a lower support ledge extending outwardly from the base member, and an upper gripper arm also extending outwardly from the base member. The upper gripper arm and lower support ledge are arranged to form an opening therebetween for the reception of a shelf. A knife edge is formed an integral part of the upper gripper arm and is arranged to penetrate and mechanically interlock with the shelf, which interlocking increases with increased cantilever loading of the shelf.
