Abstract
A shelving assembly having vertical standards and brackets thereon suspending shelves therebetween by mounting connectors projecting into openings in the brackets. These openings, when in the form of recesses in the upper edge of the brackets, are configured with an overhang lip to prevent shelf tipping. The connectors have a steel core preferably jacketed with polymer, and peripheral grooves configured to interengage with the plate type brackets. The connectors have three such grooves so that they can serve to support one end of one shelf on the bracket or the adjacent ends of two shelves on a common bracket. Glass shelves are mounted using socket shelf mounts having a socket to receive the connectors, an outer shelf support surface, and a resilient clip for attachment to the shelf.
