Shelf support system

Abstract

A supporting system for furniture, and a shelf adapted for such supporting system, is disclosed. The supporting system comprises a rail ( 11 ), adapted to be mounted on a wall, and a projecting male member ( 14 ), connected to the rail ( 11 ). The male member is projecting distally of said rail ( 11 ), said male member ( 14 ) being configured to interact with a mating female groove located in a shelf. The male member ( 14 ) is provided with a through slot extending from a distal end towards a proximal end of the male member ( 14 ), said through slot being open in said distal end. Also, a slider, comprising; a projecting male member ( 14 ) is disclosed.

1 . A supporting system for furniture, comprising; a rail, adapted to be mounted on a wall; and a projecting male member, connected to the rail, said male member projecting distally of said rail, said male member being configured to interact with a mating female groove located in a shelf, wherein said male member is provided with a through slot extending from a distal end towards a proximal end of the male member, said through slot being open in said distal end. 
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said rail is provided with a flat base portion for interaction with the wall upon which the system is intended to be mounted. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 2 , wherein the base portion is provided with a plurality of through holes configured for receiving screw members there-through. 
     
     
         4 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said male member is a substantially flat male member, which male member is substantially perpendicular to said base portion. 
     
     
         5 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein the male member is slidably attached to the rail. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 5 , wherein the rail is provided with an upper and a lower track, and the male member is arranged on a slider, said slider being provided with upper and lower engagement pins, adapted to run at upper and lower tracks, respectively. 
     
     
         7 . A shelf comprising; a void on the short side of the shelf, in between a top surface and a bottom surface of the shelf; and a female groove running in the void; said void being adapted to house the supporting system according to  claim 1 ; wherein said top or bottom surface is provided with screw hole crossing the female groove. 
     
     
         8 . The shelf according to  claim 7 , wherein the screw hole has an upper section, between the female groove and the mouth of the screw hole in the top or bottom surface, and a lower section, between the female groove and the bottom of the screw hole, wherein the upper section has a larger diameter than the lower section. 
     
     
         9 . A slider, comprising; a projecting male member, said male member being configured to interact with a mating female groove located in a shelf; and upper and lower engagement pins for running at a rail, wherein said male member is provided with a through slot extending from a distal end towards a proximal end of the male member, said through slot being open in said distal end.
