ABSTRACT:
A shelf support (10) for supporting a shelf perpendicular to a cabinet wall is disclosed. The shelf support comprises a body portion (20) provided with a post (32) by which the shelf support can be secured to the cabinet wall with the back of the body portion against the wall, a ledge member (12) projecting from the front of the body portion (20) for supporting the edge portion of a shelf, and an upper portion (16) carried by the body portion and having a shelf-engaging edge (18) which projects outwardly from the front of the body portion and is spaced from the ledge by substantially the thickness of the shelf whereby the shelf can be supported on the ledge and engaged from above by the shelf-engaging edge (18). The body portion (20) includes two limbs (22, 24) which support the upper portion (16) at its lateral extremeties, and the upper portion includes a V-shaped part which provides the shelf-engaging edge (18). The peak of the V of the V-shaped part lies forward of the body portion with said V-shaped part adapted to be flattened by pressure from the front such that the shelf-engaging edge (18) moves substantially perpendicularly to the body portion (20) and the cabinet wall and the two limbs (22, 24) being adapted to twist and be forced apart to accommodate said flattening, whereby when the V-shaped part is released the shelf-engaging edge (18) returns to its original position by movement substantially perpendicular to the body portion.
