An adjustable shelving assembly and a support structure for supporting the adjustable shelf assembly. The adjustable shelf assembly may include at least one extension shelf unit, slidably oriented with respect to a central shelf unit such that the width and/or depth of the shelf may be adjusted. The adjustable shelf assembly may be adjusted without removing the shelf from the accompanying support structure or causing the central shelf unit to be moved. The adjustable shelf assembly may also include structure for receiving advertisements, product identifiers or the like.

The invention clamed is: 1. An adjustable shelf assembly, comprising: (a) a central shelf unit, (b) a first extension shelf unit, the first extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that the width or depth of the adjustable shelving assembly may be increased
The invention clamed is: 1. An adjustable shelf assembly, comprising: (a) a central shelf unit, (b) a first extension shelf unit, the first extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that the width or depth of the adjustable shelving assembly may be increased by extending and decreased by retracting the first extension shelf unit with respect to the central shelf unit, the first extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that retracted portions of the extension shelf unit are located underneath the top surface of the central shelf unit, the first extension shelf unit having a support surface, a front edge, a rear edge, a distal side and a proximate side, the distal side located distal to the central shelf unit relative to the proximate side; and (c) at least one attachment member secured to the adjustable shelf assembly such that when the attachment member is secured to a support structure, the first extension shelf unit may be extended or retracted with respect to the central shelf unit without repositioning the attachment member with respect to the support structure; and (d) a second extension shelf unit, the second extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that the width of the adjustable shelving assembly may be increased by extending and decreased by retracting the second extension shelf unit with respect to the central shelf unit, the second extension shelf until slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that retracted portions of the second extension shelf unit are located underneath the top surface of the central shelf unit, the second extension shelf having a support surface, a front edge, a rear edge, a proximate side and a distal side, the distal side located distal to the central shelf unit relative to the proximate side; and (e) interlocking members formed from portions of the first and second extension shelf units, portions of the interlocking members of the first extension shelf unit interlocking with portions of the interlocking members of the second extension shelf unit when the first and second extension shelf units are retracted with respect to the central shelf unit. 2. The adjustable shelf assembly of claim 1, wherein the interlocking members are fingers formed from bent wire. 3. The adjustable shelf assembly of claim 1 wherein the central shelf unit does not move relative to the first and second extension shelf units during extension and retraction of the extension shelf units. 4. The adjustable shelf assembly of claim 1, further comprising: (a) a front member extending from the front edge of the central shelf unit, the front member comprising an upper lip and a lower lip; (b) a first side member extending from the front and distal side edges of the first extension shelf unit, the first side member having an upper lip and a lower lip; and (c) wherein portions of the front member and first side member slidably cooperate with respect to each other such that extension and retraction of the first extension shelf unit is not substantially hindered. 5. The adjustable shelf assembly of claim 4, wherein the upper and lower lips of the front member and first side members are formed into channels, permitting the insertion of a flexible member such that the flexible member is retained in between the upper and lower lips. 6. An adjustable shelf assembly, comprising: (a) a central shelf unit; (b) a first extension shelf unit; (i) the first extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that the width of depth of the adjustable shelving assembly may be increased by extending and decreased by retracting the first extension shelf unit with respect to the central shelf unit; (ii) the first extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that retracted portions of the extension shelf unit are located underneath the top surface of the central shelf unit; and (iii) the first extension shelf unit having a support surface, a front edge, a rear edge, a distal side and a proximate side, the distal side located distal to the central shelf unit relative to the proximate side; (c) a second extension shelf unit; (i) the second extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that the width of the adjustable shelving assembly may be increased by extending and decreased by retracting the second extension shelf unit with respect to the central shelf unit; (ii) the second extension shelf unit slidably oriented with respect to the central shelf unit such that retracted portions of the second extension shelf unit are located underneath the top surface of the central shelf unit; and (iii) the second extension shelf unit having a support surface, a front edge, a rear edge, a proximate side and a distal side, the distal side located distal to the central shelf unit relative to the proximate side; (d) interlocking members formed from portions of the first and second extension shelf units, portions of the interlocking members of the first extension shelf unit interlocking with portions of the interlocking members of the second extension shelf unit when the first and second extension shelf units are retracted with respect to the central shelf unit; (e) at least one attachment member secured to the adjustable shelf assembly such that when the attachment member is secured to a support structure, the first extension shelf unit may be extended or retracted with respect to the central shelf unit without repositioning the attachment member with respect to the support structure; (f) a front member extending from the front edge of the central shelf unit, the front member comprising an upper lip and a lower lip; and (g) a first side member extending from the front and distal side edges of the first extension shelf unit, the first side member having an upper lip and a lower lip; wherein portions of the front member and first side member slidably cooperate with respect to each other such that extension and retraction of the first extension shelf unit is not substantially hindered.
