Abstract (en)

The present disclosure relates to a book support and an attachment device that can be used to attach a book support to a shelf. A base plate is provided which rests on a shelf, and an upright extends from the shelf. Tongues are provided at each end of the base plate which are capable of clamping the shelf. The tongues extend from the base plate at an acute angle to the base plate, such that folding the tongues out to a direction perpendicular to the base plate makes the tongues urge inwards. The tongues may have a proximal portion and a distal portion wherein the distal portion is directed at an even more acute angle to the base plate. The attachment device can be attached to shelf boards having relatively wide manufacturing tolerances in terms of thickness.
