Abstract
Abstract A merchandise base, such as a shelf, is mounted on a supporting column by a device having pins or the like received in vertically spaced holes or recesses in the column. The pins are interconnected by a plate, and at least the upper pin has a radially enlarged head. Both pins interfit with a bracket on the base and the enlarged head secures the bracket against movement away from the column.
