Claims
- 1. A shelf assembly comprising:
a shelf having a front, a back, and a length direction; a rail having a longitudinal axis extending substantially in the length direction of the shelf, the rail being disposed adjacent the back of the shelf and above the level of the shelf so as to act as a backstop; a retainer comprising:
an engagement portion at least partially encircling the rail such that the engagement portion can selectively slide along the length of the rail, the retainer being selectively movable to a titled position which causes the engagement portion to engage the rail so as to prevent unwanted sliding of the engagement portion along the rail; and a retaining arm extending transversely across the shelf to act as a holder or stop for items on the shelf, the retainer being pivotable about the longitudinal axis of the rail.
- 2. The shelf assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the rail is in the form of a rod and the engagement portion is in the form of a bush.
- 3. The shelf assembly as claimed in claim 2 wherein the bush has a length exceeding the internal diameter.
- 4. The shelf assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the retaining arm includes an arc shaped portion extending across the shelf in a plane substantially orthogonal to the plane of the shelf.
- 5. The shelf assembly as claimed in claim 4 wherein the retaining arm includes a first portion extending between the engagement portion and the arc shaped portion, the first portion being disposed effectively parallel with the rail.
- 6. The shelf assembly as claimed in claim 5 wherein the engagement portion, the first portion, and the arc shaped portion are of integral construction.
- 7. The shelf assembly as claimed in claim 6 wherein there are two retainers with the respective first portions arranged to extend in opposite directions.
- 8. The shelf assembly as claimed in claim 1, further comprising two upright posts, a shelf supporting arm extending each post, the shelf being supported on the shelf support arms, and the rail extending between the two posts.
- 9. A workstation support for a workstation top, the workstation support comprising:
a first mounting bracket comprising:
a first arm having a first end and an opposing second end, the second end of the first arm being adapted for selective attachment to the workstation top; and a first holder provided at or adjacent to the first end of the first arm; a second mounting bracket comprising:
a second arm having a first end and an opposing second end, the second end of the second arm being adapted for selective attachment to the workstation top; and a second holder provided at or adjacent to the first end of the second arm; a shelf frame comprising a first post attached to and upwardly projecting from the first holder and a second post attached to and upwardly projecting from the second holder; and a shelf supported by the shelf frame.
- 10. The workstation support as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:
a rail extending between the first post and the second post; and a retainer comprising a bush slidably mounted on the rail and a retaining arm projecting from the bush so as to extend over at least a portion of the shelf.
- 11. The workstation support as claimed in claim 10 wherein the retaining arm comprises an arc portion lying in a plane substantially orthogonal to the plane of the shelf and extending transversely across the shelf.
- 12. The workstation support as claimed in claim 10 wherein the rail is disposed higher than the shelf such that the rail acts as a backstop for the shelf.
- 13. The workstation support as claimed in claim 9 further comprising:
a first face plate mounted on the first holder; a second face plate mounted on the second holder; and at least one headed stud projecting from the first face plate and the second face plate.
- 14. The workstation support as claimed in claim 13 further comprising a screen mounted on the headed stud of the first face plate and the second face plate.
- 15. A mounting bracket for a workstation, the mounting bracket comprising:
an elongated arm having a first end and an opposing second end; a holder having an aperture formed therein, the holder being disposed at or adjacent to the first end of the arm; a fixing plate disposed at or adjacent to the second end of the arm, the fixing plate being adapted for selective attachment to the workstation; a face plate mounted on or adjacent to the holder; and a headed stud projecting from the face plate.
- 16. The mounting bracket as claimed in claim 15, further comprising a screen removably attached to the headed stud projecting from the face plate.
- 17. The mounting bracket as claimed in claim 15, further comprising an elongated pole removably coupled within the aperture of the holder, the pole extending above the workstation when the fixing plate is attached to the workstation.
