Abstract
A spacer is provided for a shelf having a projection partially received within an aperture in a side wall of a cabinet. The spacer includes a conduit portion extending partially about an axis so as to define a channel extending through the conduit portion along the axis and a conduit opening extending radially through the conduit portion providing access to the channel. The channel is adapted to receive the projection of the shelf via the conduit opening. The spacer further includes an insert portion that extends axially from the conduit portion. The conduit portion includes first and second abutment surfaces extending orthogonal to the axis and facing away from each other. The second abutment surface is axially spaced from the first abutment surface. The first abutment surface extends from the axis a greater radial distance than the insert portion.
