Claim 10:
11. A shelf-supporting device (1,1′) configured to provide a reversible connection of a shelf (100) to a shoulder (200) of a piece of furniture, wherein the connection is effected by a pin (11,11′,11″) associated with said shelf (100) and arranged so as to protrude from an edge (B) of said shelf and to be inserted into a housing hole (201) formed on said shoulder (200) of said furniture, the shelf-supporting device (1,1′) comprising:
a main body (12) housing movable engagement means (15′,15″) that are slidingly associated with a pin (11,11′,11″), said shelf-supporting device (1,1′) being configured to be inserted within a thickness of said shelf (100), said movable engagement means (15′,15″) being slidable with respect to said main body (12) along a sliding direction (Y) between a first non-operating position, in which said pin (11,11′,11″) does not protrude from said shelf (100), and a second operating position, in which said pin protrudes outwardly from said shelf (100);
actuation means (13) of said movable engagement means (15′,15″); and
motion transmission means (13b,15c,15b) configured to transform a movement of said actuation means (13) into a translational movement along the sliding direction (Y) of said movable engagement means (15′,15″),
wherein said movable engagement means (15′,15″) and said pin (11,11′,11″) are two distinct parts, coupled with each other,
wherein said movable engagement means comprise a slide (15″), with which said pin (11′,11″) is associated by a shape coupling,
wherein said slide (15′) comprises a housing seat (30) of the pin (11′,11″) configured for receiving by the shape coupling a first end (41) of said pin (11′, 11″), and
wherein said first end (41) of said pin (11′,11″) comprises a cylindrical portion (41) provided with a collar (41a) and said housing seat (30) of said slide (15″) comprises a groove (31) configured to receive said collar (41a), thus enabling the shape coupling to prevent longitudinal movements of the pin (11′,11″) with respect to the slide (15″).
