  • Publication number: 20240074581
    Abstract: A device for supporting and removably fixing shelves of furniture, such as bookcases, shelf units and the like, by a pin associated with a shelf and configured to be inserted in a hole formed in a side wall of a furniture item. The device is configured to be inserted in the thickness of the shelf and has a casing, inside whereof the pin is mounted, ending with a head, which is stressed by a compression spring, to protrude normally from the edge of the shelf. The casing has a substantially flattened parallelepiped shape and said pin is mounted so as to be able to retract completely in the casing with a linear movement following a force exerted axially on the same, and to be able to retract at last partially in the casing with an oblique movement following a transverse force exerted on the same.
