Abstract:
The shelf divider has a panel for separating objects on a shelf and a clamp for attaching the panel to a shelf. The lower jaw of the clamp contacts the lower wall of the shelf while the upper jaw contacts the upper wall. A row of teeth is provided on the outer edge of the panel and slides in an upwardly extending groove in the lower jaw. A detent is formed in the groove and is normally out of engagement with the teeth until an upward force is applied to the lower jaw for causing pivotal movement of the row of teeth about the upper jaw with resulting engagement of the detent with the teeth and simultaneous locking of the clamp to the shelf.

Claim (Index 9):
An adjustable shelf divider adapted bo be selectively attached to a shelf, said shelf divider including: a clamp provided with upper and lower jaws, said upper jaw being disposed above the shelf, said lower jaw being provided with a resilient horizontal segment adapted to extend beneath the shelf and being sloped downward from an inner section to an outer section, said inner section being adapted to contact the shelf while said outer section is out of contact with the shelf, said\n outer section being bendable upwardly when a force is applied thereto with resulting resilient deformation of said outer section, said lower jaw having a vertical segment which extends upwardly from said outer section and which is provided with an upwardly extending groove; a panel for separating objects on the shelf and being supported by said upper jaw, said panel having an upwardly extending row of teeth slidingly received in said groove for upward and downward movement relative to said lower jaw with resulting increase and decrease in the space between said upper and lower jaws, a detent formed in said groove and out of engagement with said row of teeth until said upward force is applied to said outer section with resulting pivotal movement of said vertical segment and simultaneous movement of said detent toward and into engagement with said row of teeth with resulting locking of said clamp to the shelf.
