Abstract (en)

An elongate shelf support (2) comprising a back mounting plate (4) and first and second flanges (6,8), the shelf support being formed as an extrusion so that the back mounting plate and the first and the second flanges are integrally formed together, the back mounting plate being for mounting the shelf on a vertical surface, and the first and the second flanges being such that they are spaced apart and extend outwardly from the back mounting plate substantially at right angles to the back mounting plate to define a shelf-receiving slot (10) for receiving a shelf which is a friction fit in the shelf-receiving slot, the first flange extending outwardly farther than the second flange so that the first flange acts to support the shelf whilst the second flange acts to trap the shelf and prevent it pivotting in a clockwise manner about the first flange, the first flange being thicker than the second flange and the back mounting plate being thicker below the first flange than above the first flange whereby the first flange projects in an unsupported manner from the back support plate but is still sufficiently robust in use to support the weight of a shelf and objects placed upon the shelf.
