Knock-down shelving structure

Claim 1

A shelving structure comprising upright, right-angular corner posts, each having at least one upstanding stud attached to its inner side at a level at which a shelf is to be supported, each stud being triangular in cross-section and presenting faces which are opposed to and are substantially parallel to the inner faces of the posts so that a space of uniform thickness exists between the two inner faces of the post and the opposing faces of the stud; and a shelf having depending flanges forming a triangular socket on the under side of the shelf to receive and fit the stud, said flanges including portions which snugly fit in said spaces between the stud and the corner post wherein the stud is attached to the corner post by spacers at the lower end of the stud and the spacers are of less width than the width of the stud faces so that a right-angular shaped pocket is formed between the lower end of the stud and the inner corner of the post and in which said flange portions include a tongue which is right-angular in cross-section and fits down in said pocket, and notches in said flange portions to receive said spacers.
