Abstract
A new kick plate arrangement for conventional metal shelving is provided by a support clip which fits into a conventional kick plate holder. The support clip supports the kick plate by means of a horizontal extension. The kick plate can be rotated up and under the horizontal support structure upon which the shelving is mounted. A second embodiment includes a plastic connecting device which fits onto a conventional horizontal shelf support. The plastic connecting device supports the plastic kick plate using a cylindrical horizontal support along the horizontal shoulder of the kick plate. The kick plate can be rotated up and under the conventional horizontal support structure upon which the shelving is mounted. The cylindrical horizontal support structure is attached to the kick plate by use of slots in the front face of the kick plate through which the cylindrical horizontal support passes before being rotated to fit against the horizontal shoulder of the kick plate, and is supported by a clamping device which connects to the conventional horizontal support structure upon which the shelving is mounted.
