Abstract
A goods support bar assembly includes a socket and a support bar that can be easily inserted and removed from the socket. The socket includes a housing with a window-like insertion opening and internally located buffer edges. The support bar includes a slip-in plate which is attached to a tubular piece. By tilting the slip-in plate relative to the socket, the slip-in plate can be inserted through the insertion opening and into the housing, where the buffer edges hold the support bar in position.

A goods support bar assembly, comprising:
- a socket, including:
- a housing having an interior;
- a housing base located on a rear side of said housing and including a through-hole surrounded by a countersink, a plurality of through-slots, and a raised stop edge located on a lower edge of said housing base;
- a window-like insertion opening;
- a mounting flange located on a front side of said housing, and completely surrounding a perimeter of said insertion opening, so as to frame said insertion opening;
- two wall webs positioned on a rear side of said mounting flange, said wall webs extending outside said insertion opening;
- two transverse webs positioned on said rear side of said mounting flange and extending between said wall webs;
- an upper undercut positioned in said interior of said housing and forming an upper buffer edge;
- and
- a lower undercut positioned in said interior of said housing and forming a lower buffer edge;
- a cover plate including a plurality of hook lugs on a rear side thereof, said cover plate sized and shaped so as to pass through said insertion opening, said hook lugs engaging in said through-slots;
- and
- a support bar, including a tubular piece and a slip-in plate attached to an end of said tubular piece, said slip-in plate being sized and shaped so as to pass through said insertion opening when said slip-in plate is tilted relative to said insertion opening, said slip-in plate being held in said interior of said housing by said upper buffer edge and said lower buffer edge, said slip-in plate being removably but non-slidably received in said housing.
