Abstract

A segmented shelving construction in which the vertical shelving cubic volumes are custom designed in accordance with the actual product being sold. The shelving is attached to a standard upright gondola construction consisting of a base and at least two vertical uprights per gondola. The uprights have a plurality of vertical slots to be engaged by hooks supporting the shelving. In the present invention, horizontal hanging bars with adjustable end male plugs carrying hooks to be received within the vertical upright slots are positioned at a desired height. The hanging bars then receive at least two vertical shelving standards, the shelving standards contain elongated slots near the top and bottom edges of the standards, or at any other desired location. The hanging bars are received in the vertical slots and there is sufficient room for them to be moved within the slots. Typical shelves of any desired size are supported by typical brackets having hooks to be received in a plurality of vertical slots within the vertical standards. Because of the vertical slots, variations in the vertical slots and the uprights or uneven inferior construction can easily be accommodated because of the elongated slots in the vertical standards.
