20140263133 | ADAPTER CLIP - The present disclosure pertains to a divider including an elongated base member having a first surface configured to abut a shelf and an opposite second surface. A divider wall extends from the second surface of the elongated base member. A recess portion is located along the first surface and is configured to be connectable to a first type of associated rail. An adapter clip is configured to be selectively inserted within the recess portion to allow the divider assembly to be connectable to a second type of associated rail. The adapter clip includes a base member having a first end and an opposing second end. A first support arm extends from the first end and a second support arm extends from the second end. A ridge profile of the clip is configured to be selectively received within a lip of the recess portion of the elongated base member. | 09-18-2014 |
20140263134 | DUAL END DIVIDER - A dual ended or reversible divider includes an elongated base member with a first end and an opposite second end. A divider wall extends away from the elongated base member. A first profile portion is positioned adjacent the first end of the elongated base member and is adapted to engage a first type of rail which can be mounted on a shelf. A second profile portion is positioned adjacent the opposite second end of the elongated base member and is adapted to engage a second type of rail which can be mounted on the shelf. | 09-18-2014 |
20150289683 | RAIL POSITION LOCK - A shelving assembly, held on an associated support surface, includes an elongated cooperating member including a first end and an opposite second end. A front rail is adapted to operably connect to the first end of the cooperating member and a rear rail is adapted to operably connect to the second end of the cooperating member. The rear rail includes at least one flexible member configured to abut a bottom surface of the cooperating member to retard a lateral movement of the cooperating member in a relation to at least the rear rail. | 10-15-2015 |
