ABSTRACT:
A horizontally adjustable retainer for a refrigerator door shelf is provided. The retainer is a unitary injection molded piece having an elongated vertical front wall and two vertical sidewalls which extend from the ends of the front wall in the same direction and substantially at right angles from the front wall. The top edge of each sidewall is provided with a resilient depressible projecting release integral to the retainer and having a plurality of spaced recesses for engaging the top edge of a pair of rectangular apertures provided in a refrigerator door liner for receiving and supporting the retainer. A plurality of spaced notches vertically aligned with the recesses are provided at the bottom edge of each sidewall for engaging the bottom edges of the apertures in the door liner. A notch and its associated recess at each sidewall cooperate to rigidly affix the retainer to the refrigerator door liner at one of various positions associated with each notch-recess pair. The retainer can be easily adjusted to accommodate items of varying widths which are supported on an associated shelf.
