Patent number: 8939673Abstract: A shelf carrier having an insertion pot with a T-shaped suspension opening on a side wall, the suspension opening being formed by a longitudinal slit extending parallel to the pot axis and by a transverse slit extending perpendicularly thereto. The longitudinal slit is open at an end facing away from the transverse slit. A slider is supported in the insertion pot so as to be displaceable transversely to the longitudinal slit. A longitudinal slit is formed on the slider, which extends parallel to the longitudinal slit of the insertion pot and is open at an end facing away from the insertion pot transverse slit, and forms a common insertion slit together with the insertion pot longitudinal slit in a center position of the slider. The slider is lockable with the insertion pot in the center position and/or in end positions transversely shifted to both sides of the center position.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Häfele GmbH & Co.
