<p>A shelving unit wherein each corner of a shelf (11) has a platelike bracket (27) rigidly associated therewith. A corner structure (13) coacts between each bracket and a respective corner post (12), which post is preferably of tubular cross section and has dimplelike recesses formed therein at selected vertically spaced intervals. The corner structure employs a strap (16) which surrounds the post and creates intimate clamping contact with the post over approximately one-half of the external periphery thereof. This strap also preferably has interior projections which engage the dimples on the post. The corner structure also employs a corner piece (17) which is stationarily secured to the bracket. the corner piece includes a downwardly cantilevered wedge (71) having a front surface (67) for engaging the periphery of the post over approximately one-half the extent thereof. The wedge (71) vertically slidably engages within a wedgelike slot formed between the strap (16) and the post (12) to effect clamping of the post between the strap and corner piece.</p> |
