Abstract

A shelf front retainer end cap has a spring clip to permit easy assembly and removal of a retainer assembly. The end cap fits into a rectangular aperture in a refrigerator door panel. A front flange abuts the front surface of the panel around the aperture. The spring is a slightly inclined ramp with a hook at the end and has a fixed end attached near the front of the cap. It extends through the aperture and the hook engages the rear surface of the panel. The retainer assembly is removed by depressing the clip and pulling the cap from the aperture.
