Abstract

A removable shelf divider includes a base having a first side and a first end, a wall and a clip. The wall extends from a first side of the base in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base, while the clip extends from the first end of the base and is operable to selectively attach the removable shelf divider to a shelf. The base, the wall and the clip are all formed from a single piece of material.

Claims

1. A removable shelf divider, comprising:

a base having a first side and a first end;

a wall;

a clip;

wherein said wall extends from a first side of said base in a direction substantially perpendicular to said base;

wherein said clip extends from said first end of said base and is operable to selectively attach said removable shelf divider to a shelf; and

wherein said base, said wall and said clip are all formed from a single piece of material.

2. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said base is substantially rectangular.

3. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said first side and said first end are substantially perpendicular to one another.

4. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said wall is substantially rectangular.

5. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said wall defines an arcuate profile.

6. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said wall includes an opening.

7. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said wall is formed as a series of prongs.

8. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said clip includes a first segment and a second segment;

and

said second segment defines an acute angle with said base.

9. The removable shelf divider of claim 8, wherein said second segment of said clip extends from said first segment in a manner such that a shelf region is created between said first segment and second segment of said clip and a first surface of said base.

10. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of one of an Acrylic and a Lexan material.

11. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a metallic material.

12. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Polycarbonate material.

13. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Polypropylene material.

14. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Coextruded Thermoplastic material.

15. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of an Acetal material.

16. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Fluoroplastic material.

17. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Nylon material.

18. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of an Urethane material.

19. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Polystyrene material.

20. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Polyester Terephthalate Glycol Modified (PETG) material.

21. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Polyvinyl/Chloride (PVC) material.

22. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of an Acrylonitrile-Butadiene Styrene (ABS) material.

23. The removable shelf divider of claim 1, wherein said removable shelf divider is made of a Polyetheretherketone material.

24. A shelf divider, comprising:

a base;

a wall extending substantially perpendicular from a top surface of said base;

a clip formed adjacent one distal end of said base, said clip including a securing leg extending substantially towards a bottom surface of said base such that said securing leg forms an acute angle between said second segment and said base; and

wherein said base, said wall and said clip are formed from a single piece of material.

25. A method of forming a shelf divider, said method comprising the steps of:

defining a base;

defining a wall extending substantially perpendicular from a top surface of said base;

defining a clip adjacent one distal end of said base; and

forming said base, said wall and said clip from a single piece of material.
