Shelf support

A one-piece plastic member for supporting an edge portion of a shelf on an upright and wherein the upright has at least one opening therein, comprising a back portion having a first section, a second section and a third section, said sections being contiguous and in end-to-end relationship, at least one of said first and second sections having a region for engagement with said upright, a flange projecting from one side of said back portion to provide a support for the edge portion of the shelf, said flange being substantially at the junction of said first and second sections, a stem projecting from the opposite side of said first section for engagement in said opening, said second and third sections being resilient and forming an obtuse angle, a shoulder substantially at the vertex of said obtuse angle and being presented toward said flange and being spaced therefrom to cooperate with said flange for retaining the said shelf edge portion therebetween, said second and third sections tending to flatten within elastic limits and increase said angle as the shelf edge portion is moved over said third portion and past said shoulder, whereupon the second and third sections snap back to cause the shoulder to retain said shelf edge portion, a portion of the third section remote from said shoulder having a region for engagement with said upright such that two regions are respectively above and below the shelf when the latter is on said flange.
