ABSTRACT:
A household refrigerator cabinet housing therein a plurality of vertically adjustable shelf assemblies each supporting a shelf for placing refrigerable items thereon. Each shelf assembly has a pair of cantilever arms with transverse clips on the front end for holding the front edge of a shelf, and hooks on the rear end for mounting the shelf assembly on a pair of ladder tracks attached to the rear wall of a refrigerator. A rigid wire spans the distance between the cantilever arms near their rear end and is rigidly connected thereto. A unitary shelf retainer having two perpendicularly disposed slots is press fit on the support wire. The first slot is defined by two walls extending in a converging manner from a third wall so as to firmly grasp the shelf when placed therein. The second slot is defined by two walls extending perpendicularly downwardly in a converging manner from the first slot and having spherical protrusions on their ends to firmly grasp the support wire when press fit thereon. A transitional flange runs the length of the shelf retainer extending away from it in a curving manner.
