Shelving system

摘要

The shelving system (1) consists of a bracket (10) with a shelf board (5). The bracket (10) has a slot into which the edge of the shelf board is located. The slot is sized so that the edge of the shelf board fits loosely within the slot. A wedge (30) is provided also for insertion into the slot adjacent the shelf board (5) to secure the shelf board in position within the slot. The wedge (30) is preferably tapered and has a front surface that is contoured to match the contours of the front surface of the bracket. An aperture (not shown) is provided at the back of the slot to receive a fastening device such as a screw etc for securing the bracket to a wall. As the aperture is at the back of the slot the aperture and the fastening device are obscured by the shelf board when in use. The shelving unit is particularly easy to assemble whilst still ensuring the shelf board is securely fitted to the bracket. <IMAGE>
