<p>For supporting a variety of brochures, magazines, catalogs and other ''soft'' reading material (28) as well as hard-cover books in an upright position, this bookrack (10) may be readily assembled by an unskilled person, without tools or additional fastening hardware, from only two configurations of economically manufactured parts: molded plastic partitions (16) and base/back panels (12a) (12b) (12c) (12d) which can be readily extended in multiples by means of integral edge fastening (14a) (14b) (14c) as well as individually shortened at scored breakoff lines (34) to obtain a desired total length to permit retrofitting onto existing bookshelves having base (22) back (24) and end (26). Keystone-shaped tabs (18) on the partitions interlock with keyed slots (20) in the panels to fasten the panels and partitions together, retained by a simple integral detent system. Panels and partitions are made as thin as practically possible to achieve high space efficiency, and all fastenings are concealed to eliminate obstructions that could interfere with the reading material being accommodated in the bookrack. The abutting edges of the base/back panels form a mitred joint at corner (36). Edge fastening strip (14c) has socket holes (30) to receive plug buttons (32).</p> |
