ABSTRACT:
A shelf support bracket for supporting a shelf in a cabinet of the type having a plurality of shelves, the vertical positioning of which is effected by movement of the shelf support brackets, includes a backplate adapted for mounting against a sidewall of said cabinet, the sidewall of the cabinet and the shelf support bracket being constructed and arranged for removably mounting the shelf support bracket on the cabinet sidewall. A shelf support plate projects from a first surface of the backplate and is adapted to receive an edge portion of a shelf. A shelf-retaining structure is affixed to the backplate in a position spaced from the shelf support plate and cooperates therewith to retain the shelf edge portion on the support plate. The retaining structure includes a first portion lying substantially in the plane of the backplate and at least one planar ear portion contiguous with the first portion and extending therefrom obliquely to the plane of the backplate in a substantially upright orientation, the ear portion being resiliently yieldable to permit movement of the ear portion toward the plane of the backplate to permit passage of the shelf edge portion onto the shelf support plate whereupon the ear portion returns to its original position and overlies the shelf edge portion. The shelf edge portion is therefore intermediate the bottom edge of the ear portion and the upper surface of the support plate when positioned on the shelf support bracket.
