Abstract
A shelf-supporting device for the reversible connection of a shelf with shoulders of a piece of furniture includes a main body having a movable engagement system, to which a pin is connected. The movable engagement system slides with respect to the main body between a first non-operating position, in which the pin does not protrude from the shelf, and a second operating position, in which the pin protrudes outwardly from a transverse edge of the shelf. The movable engagement system has two distinct parts, coupled together, and the connection between the slide and the pin may be an interference coupling, a shape coupling, or another type of coupling. This shelf-supporting device makes it possible to miniaturize the pin by drastically reducing its diameter, thus improving the aesthetic impact of the housing hole in the shoulders, and may be made modular by using pins of different diameters and materials.
