STORAGE UNIT AND SHELF CONSTRUCTION THEREFOR

摘要

A storage unit particularly suitable for storing publications such as telephone directories includes a shelf and means for supporting the shelf in a horizontal position for storing objects on the shelf. The shelf may be an elevated shelf or it may be formed from the base of the storage unit. In either case, the shelf includes a front edge with a rearwardly extending recess, the recess being sized to permit substantially the entire length of the flatly extended fingers of an average adult user's hand to reach into the recess for grasping an object stored on the shelf and overlying the recess. A unit may be constructed with stackable upper and lower storage sections which engage such a shelf between sections.
