Abstract
For a shelving system or the like, a combination comprising a framework including a transverse member, a longitudinal divider having two legs that are spaced-apart by a predetermined distance except in a localized region along the longitudinal divider, and including a clip, which is adapted to be adjustably positioned along the longitudinal divider, for drawing the legs toward each other in the localized region. An outer, upturned flange extends from the lower end of each leg of the longitudinal divider. The transverse member has a plurality of pegs extending upwardly and being spaced uniformly from one another along the transverse member. Each peg has an upright portion and a transverse portion. The longitudinal divider is adapted to interengage with the transverse member where the legs are spread-apart by the predetermined distance, such that the outer flanges are disposed beneath the transverse portions of a selected two of the pegs and engage the upright portions of the selected pegs with one of the remaining pegs between the legs, so as to prevent the longitudinal divider from disengaging vertically from the transverse member at either leg and from bowing to either side. The legs of the longitudinal divider can pass, in the localized region, between the transverse portions of the selected pegs. The clip thus facilitates interengagement of the longitudinal divider with and disengagement of the longitudinal divider from the transverse member.
