Locking hanger bracket for use in a quick-change modular shelving system and shelving system employing such hanger bracket

摘要

A shelving system includes a horizontal polygonal base shelf assembly and a substantially identical horizontal top shelf assembly, a plurality of vertical support posts, and one or more intermediate shelf assemblies positioned between the top shelf assembly and the bottom shelf assembly. Each intermediate shelf assembly is supported by hanger brackets which are removably secured to the support posts. Each hanger bracket is provided with a locking clip for securing the intermediate shelf and the hanger bracket to the support posts. In this manner, each intermediate shelf assembly can be quickly installed and removed without the necessity of disassembling the other components of the shelving system, and the installed intermediate shelf can be securely mounted in the shelving system.
