Abstract
Shelf retaining collars function to releasably attach shelving to a plurality of vertical support posts. Each collar has an open front face for placement of the collars around the support posts. Also, each shelf retaining collar has a frusto-conical interior surface, and a pair of upwardly extending shelf supporting hooks that extend outwardly from the open front face. When the shelf retaining collars are attached to the support posts the hooks engage and support the shelving. Such shelving may be mounted horizontally or angularly, if desired.
