主权项 1. A kit to be retro-fit onto a sliding shelf, wherein the sliding shelf includes a bottom area and a plurality of walls that form a containment perimeter of the sliding shelf to a first height above the bottom area, wherein each wall of the plurality of walls has an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein each wall of the plurality of walls has a plane that passes vertically through the wall, wherein the kit is configured to increase the first height of the containment perimeter to a second height above the bottom area, and wherein the kit comprises: a plurality of straight vertical containment-member supports including a first containment-member support and a second containment-member support, wherein each respective containment-member support of the plurality of containment-member supports has an inner surface and an outer surface,wherein each respective containment-member support has holes for receiving a plurality of fasteners, andwherein each respective containment-member support is configured to be attached, using the plurality of fasteners, to the inner surface of a respective wall of the plurality of walls such that an entirety of the respective straight containment-member support extends along a line that parallels the plane of the respective wall; anda plurality of overlapping containment members including a first containment member and a second containment member, wherein each one of the plurality of overlapping containment members include two parts that have a tubular shape and are coaxially overlapping configured to slide in a lengthwise direction relative to one another such that the plurality of overlapping containment members form a plurality of telescoping rails, wherein at least the first containment member is configured to be coupled to at least the first containment-member support, wherein the plurality of walls that form the containment perimeter of the sliding shelf includes a first side wall, a second side wall, and a back wall, wherein the plurality of containment-member supports further includes a third containment-member support, wherein the first containment-member support is configured to be attached to the inner surface of the first side wall, wherein the second containment-member support is configured to be attached to the inner surface of the second side wall, wherein the third containment-member support is configured to be attached to the inner surface of the back wall, wherein the plurality of overlapping containment members further includes a third containment member, wherein the first containment member is removably coupled to the outer surface of the first containment-member support, wherein the second containment member is removably coupled to the outer surface of the second containment-member support, and wherein the third containment member is removably coupled to the outer surface of the third containment-member support that is attached to the back wall of the sliding shelf.
