BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING FIGURES
FIG. 1 depicts a perspective view of a preferred mode of the device showing the dolly from the side engaging a gondola or shelf and shows the opposing members adapted for a wraparound frictional engagement.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the dolly from the side opposite that of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows a side view of the device and the tapered distal ends of the opposing members.
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the device showing the adjustment screw and collar engagements for a handle and for support members that engage adjacent dollies.
FIG. 5 depicts a side view of the device engaged around a support post of a shelf or gondola.
FIG. 6 shows a rear view of a setting component adapted to engage the dolly during setting of the dolly to the shelf support post and moving of the shelving when multiple dollies are attached.
FIG. 7 shows the pins projecting from the setting component adapted to engage mating collars on the dolly.
FIG. 8 depicts a side view of FIGS. 6 and 7.
FIG. 9 shows the engagement of a plurality of dollies to a conventional shelf and the engageable support member that attaches between adjacent dollies to provide lateral support during rolling of the shelves.
FIG. 10 is an exploded view of the dolly and engaged sliding chassis showing the sliding member and locking engagement with the adjusting screw.
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of an especially preferred mode of the device showing a single piece unit having a footplate extending from the side opposite of the dolly from the members.
FIG. 12 is a bottom view of the embodiment of FIG. 11.
FIG. 13 depicts the device of FIG. 11 showing the slot formed in the dolly adapted for translating engagement of the lift chassis engaged to the opposing members.
FIG. 14 depicts the device of FIG. 11 showing the elongated face projecting from the slot.
FIG. 15 is a sectional view showing the slot and the angled foot plate and handle engagement collar.
FIG. 16 is an exploded view of the opposing members and the rotating member having a tapered distal end and external threads forming an engageable screw with threads of the lift chassis.
FIG. 17 is a sliced view of the components of FIG. 16 operatively assembled and showing the opposing members engaged to a support post and the face abutted against the surface of the kickplate with both elevated from a supporting floor.
FIG. 18 is a top plan view of the opposing members in a wrap-around compressed frictional engagement to a support post.
FIG. 19 depicts a sectional view showing the two opposing members in their first position adjacent to the supporting floor.
FIG. 20 depicts a slice through FIG. 18 showing the opposing members in their second or elevated position in a wrap-around compressed engagement to the support post.
