Abstract: The shelf support is of the type which extends along the whole of the rear of a glass shelf. The shelf is inserted in a slot formed between a support member and a retaining member so that the shelf is retained as a cantilever. The retaining member carries an elastically-deformable strip which has a main part and spaced protuberances along its bottom. The retaining member is also of special construction, being of generally triangular shape with a slot in its bottom for receiving an upwards projection on the strip and holding the strip in position along the underside of the retaining member.

Abstract: In a shelf support formed as a continuous section and capable of supporting a shelf as a cantilever by the cooperation of: a supporting member to lie below and in contact with said shelf, said supporting member being disposed upon a plate for fixing to a wall; and a retaining member to lie above and in contact with said shelf, said retaining member being disposed upon said plate; the improvement comprising, locating a region of said retaining member, spaced from said plate, closer to said supporting member than a region of said retaining member adjacent said plate and providing a ramp surface to urge the retaining member upwards, whereby the shelf is gripped between the supporting member and the retaining member and wherein the supporting member is in contact with the shelf at at least a first location and at least a second location, said second location being closer to said plate than said first location.
