Shelf support

A shelf support which is mountable on a mount and comprises:

• an elongate member for supporting a shelf, the elongate member having two mutually opposite ends and defining a respective socket at each of said ends, and
• two mounting brackets each comprising two arms that are spaced-apart, each bracket being insertable into a respective one of the sockets to be positionable therein with the arms projecting away from the elongate member in a length direction thereof so as to provide mutually spaced securing projections for receiving therebetween and thereby embracing a mount on which the support is to be mounted,
• wherein the securing projections are spaced from one another so as to respectively bear at inner surfaces thereof against two opposite outer surfaces of the mount when the mount is received between the projections, wherein the projections are securable to said opposite outer surfaces of said mount when embraced by the projections so as to attach the elongate member to the mount, and wherein each of the arms of each bracket is provided with an opening for reception of a securing device for securing the respective securing projection to the mount;
• wherein the brackets when positioned in the sockets are pressurably engaged to produce a pressurable engagement with the elongate member so as to be retained in the sockets by the pressurable engagement;
• wherein each of the brackets comprises a positioning part which is positionable in a respective one of the sockets and from which the arms of the bracket extend, the positioning part being dimensioned to be an interference fit in the respective socket;
• wherein the positioning part of each bracket is resiliently deflectable to provide the pressurable engagement;
• wherein each of the brackets is U-shaped and the positioning part is formed by a base of the U-shape and by resiliently deflectable adjoining first portions of arms of the U-shape, the arms of the bracket being formed by distal second portions of the arms of the U-shape;
• and
• wherein said first portions of the arms of the U-shape in an uninserted state of the bracket are splayed apart in a direction away from the base of the U to have a maximum spacing greater than a boundary wall spacing of the respective socket, said first portions of the arms being resiliently bendable to adapt to the boundary wall spacing.
