Claim:
A refrigerator shelf divider system comprising: a base plate defining a planar surface and including a matrix of openings; a first support having a lower portion sized for being press fit into an opening of said matrix, and the lower portion having a horizontal slot receiving an edge of the base plate defining one of said openings for holding the support securely on said base, and said first support including a vertical slot extending downwardly a predetermined distance from a top of the support; a second support having a lower portion sized for being press fit into an opening of said matrix, and the lower portion having a horizontal slot receiving an edge of the base defining one of said openings for holding the support securely on said base, and said second support including a vertical slot extending downwardly a predetermined distance from a top of the support; and a divider received in said vertical slot of said first support and said vertical slot of said second support for being held in a vertical orientation for dividing said base plate into regions, said divider includes a plurality of openings and each of said first and second supports including a rib located in their respective vertical slots, the ribs engaging into openings of said divider to limit movement of the divider relative to the first and second supports along the planar surface of the base plate, while allowing movement of the divider relative to the first and second supports in a direction substantially perpendicular to the planar surface of the base plate.
