Abstract:
1. An adjustable shelf assembly comprising: a shelf member having a forward edge, a rear edge, and first and second side edges, a top surface and a bottom surface; a plurality of divider members disposed generally parallel to and between said side edges to partition said top surface of said shelf member between said side edges, each said divider member being engaged and selectively secured in position with respect to said shelf member by first and second clamp mechanisms, whereby when said clamp mechanisms are released, said respective divider member can be slid laterally substantially continuously along at least a portion of the distance between said side edges, and wherein when said clamp mechanisms are clampingly engaged with the shelf member, said respective divider member is clamped to said shelf member so as to be substantially locked in position to define, with an adjacent divider member, a receptacle for an electronic device of a prescribed width, wherein said first side edge is fixed to a first side wall member disposed to extend at least vertically upwardly from said first side edge, said first side wall member extending along substantially the entire first side edge, whereby a receptacle for an electronic device of a prescribed width is defined between said first side wall member and a next adjacent one of said divider members, and said second side edge is fixed to a second side wall member disposed to extend at least vertically upwardly from said second side edge, said second side wall member extending along substantially the entire second side edge, further comprising first and second vertical frame components secured to front edges of said side wall members and extending vertically upwardly with respect thereto, and further comprising at least one anti-roll bar selectively fixed with respect to said first and second side wall members and selectively fixed with respect to said shelf member, said at least one anti-roll bar being vertically spaced from said top surface of said shelf member, extending generally in parallel to said forward edge, and extending generally perpendicular to said divider members and to said first and second side wall members, wherein the at least one anti-roll bar includes an upper anti-roll bar having a horizontal part parallel to and in opposed facing relation to the top surface of the shelf member, having a width generally corresponding to a width of said shelf member and having a depth substantially less than a depth of said shelf member, said upper anti-roll bar being mounted so that it is vertically spaced from top ends of said first and second vertical frame components, so that it is vertically below said top ends, whereby the upper anti-roll bar engages a part of an upper surface of at least one electronic device disposed on said shelf member.
