Wall-mounted shelf support clip

In a wall-mounted clip for supporting a shelf having a horizontal rod along one edge, said clip having a vertical segment for engagement with the wall and a hook segment extending in front of said vertical segment and defining therewith a recess which is open at the top for receiving the edge rod on the shelf, the improvement which comprises:

• a flexible and resilient fin attached to said vertical segment above said hook segment and extending forward and downward therefrom and terminating in a lower free end overlying said recess, said fin being flexibly deformable toward said vertical segment by the insertion of said edge rod on the shelf down into said recess and springing out from said vertical segment to position its lower free end overlying said edge rod on the shelf when the latter is fully inserted in said recess;
• a horizontal shank segment extending rearward from said vertical segment above said fin for insertion through an opening in the wall on which the clip is mounted;
• said vertical segment and said shank segment being formed with a horizontal bore for receiving a screw;
• and a pair of flexible and resilient fingers attached to the back end of said shank segment on opposite sides of said bore therein, said fingers being flexibly deformable toward each other to pass through said wall opening and being spreadable apart by the insertion of a screw through said bore to engage the wall behind the wall opening.
