Cantilever sliding shelf including a shelf removal notch on one side only

A refrigerator sliding shelf structure comprising:

• a. a supporting frame having a pair of frame side members, each of said frame side members including a shelf supporting surface and an inwardly extending primary flange having at least a lower bearing surface;
• b. a shelf slidably supported on said shelf supporting surfaces for horizontal movement between a normal and an extended position, said shelf including a pair of outwardly extending projections attached near the rear corners of said shelf, said projections being adapted to ride against said lower bearing surfaces to prevent the rear of said sliding shelf from moving upwardly;
• c. means for preventing horrizontal movement of said shelf beyond the extended position;
• and
• d. a notch in one of said primary flanges to permit vertical passage of a corresponding one of said projections through said notch, said notch being positioned so that said corresponding one of said projections aligns with said notch when said shelf is at a predetermined position between the normal and extended positions, inclusive, there being no corresponding notch in the other of said primary flanges directly opposite said notch.
