Abstract
A beverage aisle unit is designed to link together end-to-end with commonly shared uprights supporting adjacent shelves and back panels. Each upright includes a series of vertical slots in a recess opening outward from the uprights to receive shelf brackets with hook portions projecting inwardly for attaching the shelves in the slots at selected elevations. The hook portions are completely inserted to provide an unobstructed juncture between adjacent back panels. Slotted adapters slidable onto each upright enable mounting of back panels and shelves on the opposite side. The slots are of sufficient width to permit adjacent bracket hook portions to share the same slot in an end-to-end unit arrangement. The base of the uprights may extend from one or both sides of the upright. An alternate embodiment includes symmetrical flanges and recessed slots on both sides of the upright for mounting like shelves and panels on either side of a unit.
