A storage shelf for supporting thin, flat articles such as data cartridges (7) through an edge of which a slot (8) extends. The storage shelf provides a support surface (2) upon which an edge of an article may be placed with the article extending vertically upwards from that edge in an orientation such that the slot (8) opens towards the back of the shelf. An elongate member (6) extends above and parallel to the support surface (2) such that it is received in the slot (8) of an article placed on the support surface. Thus, the article is supported against falling sideways. The shelf may be supported by two end support structures (1) each of which is provided with a pair of spaced apart mounting formations engaging a respective end of the shelf. The mounting formation (12) are arranged at the same vertical height and the shelf is constructed from a sheet material defining the support surface and a depending flange (13) at each end. Each of the flanges defines a slot (14) adjacent the back edge of the shelf and opens to the underside of the shelf to receive the rearmost one of the mounting formations so that the shelf slopes rearwardly. |
