Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A shelf mounting comprising a standard with a front surface forming two flanking vertical faces and an intervening vertical face angularly adjoining one another, said flanking faces being provided with respective grooves lying in rearwardly converging vertical planes; a pair of divergent arms projecting substantially horizontally from said flanking faces; and a slider vertically movable along said flanking faces; and a slider vertically movable along said standard above said arms, said slider having lugs guided in said grooves and being provided with a locking screw engageable with said intervening face for arresting said slider in contact with the upper surface of a shelf resting on said arms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A shelf mounting comprising a standard with a front surface forming two flanking vertical faces and an intervening vertical face angularly adjoining one another, said flanking faces being provided with respective grooves lying in rearwardly converging vertical planes; a pair of divergent arms projecting substantially horizontally from said flanking faces; and a slider vertically movable along said flanking faces; and a slider vertically movable along said standard above said arms, said slider having lugs guided in said grooves and being provided with a locking screw engageable with said intervening face for arresting said slider in contact with the upper surface of a shelf resting on said arms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A shelf mounting as defined in claim 1 wherein said flanking faces are provided with slits respectively receiving said arms.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
101 words
A shelf mounting comprising a standard with a front surface forming two flanking vertical faces and an intervening vertical facing angularly adjoining one another, said flanking faces being provided with slits and with grooves offset from said slits, said grooves lying in rearwardly converging vertical planes; a pair of divergent arms received in said slits and projecting substantially horizontally from said flanking faces; a slider vertically movable along said standard above said arms, said slider having lugs guided in said grooves; and locking means for arresting said slider in contact with the upper surface of a shelf resting on said arms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
101 words
A shelf mounting comprising a standard with a front surface forming two flanking vertical faces and an intervening vertical facing angularly adjoining one another, said flanking faces being provided with slits and with grooves offset from said slits, said grooves lying in rearwardly converging vertical planes; a pair of divergent arms received in said slits and projecting substantially horizontally from said flanking faces; a slider vertically movable along said standard above said arms, said slider having lugs guided in said grooves; and locking means for arresting said slider in contact with the upper surface of a shelf resting on said arms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
A shelf mounting as defined in claim 3 wherein said slider partly overlies said arms for retaining same in position in the absence of said shelf.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
23 words
A shelf mounting as defined in claim 4 wherein said arms are provided with enlarged bases in broad-surface contact with said flanking faces.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A shelf mounting as defined in claim 5 wherein said locking means comprising a screw on said slider engageable with said intervening.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
80 words
A shelf mounting comprising a standard with a front surface having a slit closed at the bottom; a shelf-supporting arm removably lodged in said slit and projecting substantially horizontally from said standard; a slider vertically movable along the said standard above said arm; and locking means for arresting said slider in contact with the upper surface of a shelf resting on said arm, said slider partly overlying said arm for retaining same in position in the absence of said shelf.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
80 words
A shelf mounting comprising a standard with a front surface having a slit closed at the bottom; a shelf-supporting arm removably lodged in said slit and projecting substantially horizontally from said standard; a slider vertically movable along the said standard above said arm; and locking means for arresting said slider in contact with the upper surface of a shelf resting on said arm, said slider partly overlying said arm for retaining same in position in the absence of said shelf.
