Abstract
A display system includes a plurality of upright dividers with shelf-supporting pins located therein, and further includes shelves that engage the protruding ends of the pins to form a rigid assembly. In one version of the display system, the upright dividers are anchored in an upright and structurally square position on conventional gondola shelving by a top bracket that engages the top rear corners of the upright dividers, which top bracket also releasably engages a back of the conventional gondola shelving. Locators engage the bottoms of the upright dividers to insure that the position of the upright dividers does not become skewed, the locators engaging a base of the conventional gondola shelving. In another version of the display system, the upright dividers are anchored in an upright and structurally square position by a top bracket and a bottom bracket, the top and bottom brackets being L-shaped and attached to studs in a wall. The dividers each include a lower rear pin that engages and anchors the dividers to the bottom bracket. Another pin engages the top bracket and the upper rear of the dividers to anchor the divider to the top bracket. The shelves stabilize the dividers relative to each other, and an elongated cross piece is attached by hook-and-loop material to the dividers to further stabilize the dividers along their front edge.
