Abstract
A shelf structure which is adapted to prevent articles from falling out of or off of a shelf in a moving vehicle can be constructed so as to use links to connect the shelf to a support or base in such a manner that the shelf can be moved between a storage and a exposed position by moving a handle connecting the links. In the storage position the shelf is held so that it is difficult or substantially impossible for an article to more or be moved off of it; in the exposed position the shelf is exposed so that an article can be easily placed on or removed from it. The shelf, the links and the support are constructed so that the shelf will not be stable in any position between the storage and exposed positions.
