Abstract
Abstract A shelf partition adapted for use with a generally horizontal shelf having a plurality of rows of laterally spaced holes therein. The partition is of a wire mesh construction having a plurality of longitudinal and transversely related wire rods interconnected to each other. A slider member slidably engages at least one of the longitudinal wire rods for relative movement therealong. Foot means are provided on the slider member for selectively engaging one of the laterally spaced holes in the shelf to fixedly locate the partition relative to the shelf. The slider member, due to its sliding relation relative to the partition, may be adjusted longitudinally of the partition to permit an alignment of the foot means thereon with at least one of the laterally spaced holes in the shelf.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A partition member of wire mesh construction having a plurality of longitudinal wire rods interconnected by a plurality of wire rods tranversely related thereto, adapted for use with a shelf having a plurality of rows of laterally spaced holes therein, comprising: slider means engaging at least one of said longitudinal wires and adapted for longitudinal sliding movement relative thereto; foot means on the said slider means receivable in at least one of said laterally spaced holes to thereby fixedly locate said partition relative to said sheet metal shelf; and whereby said slider means may be adjusted longitudinally of said partition to permit an alignment of said foot means with selective ones of said holes in said shelf.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A partition member of wire mesh construction having a plurality of longitudinal wire rods interconnected by a plurality of wire rods tranversely related thereto, adapted for use with a shelf having a plurality of rows of laterally spaced holes therein, comprising: slider means engaging at least one of said longitudinal wires and adapted for longitudinal sliding movement relative thereto; foot means on the said slider means receivable in at least one of said laterally spaced holes to thereby fixedly locate said partition relative to said sheet metal shelf; and whereby said slider means may be adjusted longitudinally of said partition to permit an alignment of said foot means with selective ones of said holes in said shelf.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
