ABSTRACT:
A cantilevered shelf system includes a shelf bracket having an upper jaw, a lower jaw extending beyond the upper jaw and a back plate adjoining the upper jaw and the lower jaw, and a shelf having a top face with an engaging surface which contacts the upper jaw as the shelf is mounted into the bracket. The shelf has a bottom face with a rear cam edge and a longitudinal groove forwardly of the cam edge for insertion of a projection on the lower jaw. The distance between the cam edge and the engaging surface is slightly greater than the distance between the upper jaw and the lower jaw, so that the cam edge splays the jaws apart as the shelf is being mounted and the shelf snaps into a mounted position in which the projection is seated in the groove. When the shelf is fully mounted the cam edge resists upward displacement of the shelf and the projection prevents forward displacement of the shelf.
