The present invention relates to novel support and joiner means for shelving of the spaced rod type having vertically spaced rods forming an open and downwardly projecting lip at the front of the shelf.
Prior art means for supporting and joining such shelves in end to end relation are commercially available but such means as exemplified in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,598,064 and 3,765,634 are relatively expensive to manufacture because they comprise molded or die cast parts requiring the use of costly dies for their manufacture.
According to the invention a simple means is utilized both for supporting and for joining together shelve units in end to end relation. The tooling required for fabricating such means is extremely simple and the cost of fabrication is minimal resulting in substantial economies in production without any reduction in function or strength.
