Patent attributes
A system for detachable suspension of shelves (4) from essentially vertically positioned carrier elements (1, 26) provided with slots or grooves (2). Elongate, U-shaped supporting elements (3, 25) are adapted to support said shelves (4) and are fixed in a protruding manner to the carrier elements (1). The system further comprises fasteners (7), which are adapted to be arranged on the underside (8) of the shelf (4), adjacent two opposite side edges (9) of the shelf (4), and which are adapted to engage the uppermost portion (23) of the respective supporting elements (3, 25). Each fastener (7) comprises a first portion (13), which is adapted to be attached at right angles to the underside (8) of the shelf (4), a second portion (14), which is perpendicular to the first portion (13) and intended to abut against the underside (8) of the shelf (4), and a third portion (15), which is essentially parallel to said first portion (13) and intended to be inserted into the interior of the U-shaped supporting element (3, 25). The fastener (7) is adapted to be arranged in two opposite positions on the underside (8) of the shelf (4), ie a first position in which the second portion (14) of the fastener (7) is oriented towards the side edge (9) of the shelf (4, 4′), thus allowing two shelves (4) to be arranged with their side edges (9) next to one another and to be supported by the same supporting element (3, 25), and a second position in which the second portion (4) of the fastener (7) is oriented away from the side edge (9) of the shelf, the side edge (9) of the shelf (4) protruding from the supporting element (3, 25).
