Lockable shelf bracket

Abstract

A shelf system for releasable mounting of shelves in a supporting element which is essentially vertically positioned and has slots or grooves. Plate-shaped shelf brackets are adapted to support the shelves and are by means of hook-shaped portions adapted to be inserted into a chosen slot for sustaining the shelf brackets in the supporting elements. A locking element releasably locks each shelf bracket on the support element. The hook-shaped portion has a fastening end which is directed upwards in the mounting position of the shelf bracket and is defined by a recess in the shelf bracket. The hook-shaped portion has a base length which corresponds to the height of the slot. The shelf bracket is adapted to be applied obliquely from above in the supporting element and, subsequently, be pivoted in place downwards. The recess has a width that is greater than the material thickness of the supporting element in the slot area for releasable receiving of the locking element, which is adapted to be positioned perpendicular to the plane of the shelf bracket and which prevents the shelf bracket from being pivoted in relation to the supporting element, whereby the shelf bracket is releasably locked on the supported element.
