Shelf backer

Abstract

A shelf backer for filling a void between a shelf and a backing member. The shelf backer comprises a plug, which is reversibly receivable by the void, and a lip. The lip prohibits the shelf backer from passing through the void.

Claimed is:  
     
         1 . A shelf backer for filling a void between a shelf and a backing member comprising: 
 a plug which is reversibly receivable by said void; and    a lip attached to said plug wherein said lip prohibits said shelf backer from passing through said void.    
     
     
         2 . The shelf backer of  claim 1  wherein said shelf backer is substantially in the shape of an elongated “L” wherein said plug and said lip are perpendicular.  
     
     
         3 . The shelf backer of  claim 1  wherein said shelf backer further comprises a second lip and said lip and said second lip are substantially parallel and said plug is substantially perpendicular to said lip.  
     
     
         4 . The shelf backer of  claim 1  wherein said plug is an elongated rod.  
     
     
         5 . The shelf backer of  claim 4  wherein said lip is a pin.  
     
     
         6 . The shelf backer of  claim 5  wherein said pin is substantially shaped like a “J”.  
     
     
         7 . The shelf backer of  claim 5  wherein said pin is substantially shaped like a “L”.  
     
     
         8 . The shelf backer of  claim 5  wherein said shelf comprises an accessory void and said pin is received by said accessory void.  
     
     
         9 . The shelf backer of  claim 4  further comprising a spacer attached to said elongated rod wherein said spacer is between said elongated rod and said shelf.  
     
     
         10 . A shelving system comprising 
 a pair of uprights;    at least one shelf bracket attached to each upright of said pair of uprights;    a shelf attached to said shelf bracket;    a void wherein said void is between said uprights and behind said shelf; and    a shelf backer comprising: 
 a plug which is reversibly received by said void; and  
 a lip attache to said plug which prohibits said shelf backer from passing through said void.  
   
     
     
         11 . The shelving system of  claim 10  wherein said shelf backer is substantially in the shape of an elongated “L”.  
     
     
         12 . The shelving system of  claim 10  wherein said shelf backer further comprises a second lip and said shelf backer is substantially in the shape of an elongated “T”.  
     
     
         13 . The shelving system of  claim 10  wherein said plug is an elongated rod.  
     
     
         14 . The shelving system of  claim 13  wherein said lip is a pin.  
     
     
         15 . The shelving system of  claim 14  wherein said pin is substantially shaped like a “J”.  
     
     
         16 . The shelving system of  claim 14  wherein said pin is substantially shaped like a “L”.  
     
     
         17 . The shelving system of  claim 14  wherein said shelf comprises an accessory void and said pin is received by said accessory void.  
     
     
         18 . The shelving system of  claim 13  further comprising a spacer attached to said plug wherein said spacer is between said plug and said shelf.  
     
     
         19 . A shelf backer for filling a void between a shelf and a backing member comprising: 
 an elongated rod which is reversibly receivable by said void;    a pin attached to said elongated rod wherein said pin is received by an accessory void in said shelf;    a spacer attached to said elongated rod and positioned between said elongated rod and said shelf.
