Abstract: A holding strip for suspension bars, which is used to suspend various objects, e.g. brackets and shelf units etc. received on the brackets. The holding strip is designed to be screwed or in another fashion fastened, in a horizontal position, to a wall or similar surface and designed with a rear face, which is to be in contact with the wall, a lower holding edge which is bent obliquely upwardly and inwardly towards the room and designed to cooperate with a corresponding mounting slot of a suspension bar, as well as an upper stop edge which is bent obliquely downwardly and inwardly towards the room and positioned at such a distance above the upper end of the holding edge and adapted to the suspension bar in such a way that a suspension bar which is received on the holding edge is prevented from being lifted and removed from the holding edge because the upper side of the suspension bar will abut the lower end of the stop edge.
