A retractable suspension shelf adapted to be mounted under a supporting surface such as the undersurface of a kitchen cabinet or the like. At least one of the leg assemblies at the corners of the shelf panel includes tensioned spring exerting movement restraining force on a lateral bend of the leg pivotally interconnecting the shelf panel with a base sheet or other supporting surface. The tensioned spring positively retain the leg or legs in either a substantially perpendicular position relative to the base sheet or the supporting structure, or in a substantially parallel position with respect to such base sheet or supporting structure for nonuse or storage of the shelf, as desired.

A retractable suspension shelf adapted to be mounted under a supporting surface and be readily movable from a position of use with the shelf situated below and generally equispaced from said supporting surface to a position of nonuse or storage with all its parts situated adjacent to said supporting surface, said shelf comprising: a shelf panel, and leg assemblies each comprising a pedestal mounted in fixed relationship to said supporting surface, and a leg pivotally interconnecting said pedestal and said shelf panel, at least one of said leg assemblies comprising a lateral bend intermediate the span thereof between said pedestal and said shelf, and tensioned spring means spanning said pedestal and said lateral bend and exerting force on said lateral bend to frictionally restrain movement of said leg when said leg is in a substantially perpendicular position with respect to said supporting surface and to maintain said leg close to said supporting surface when said leg is in an other than a substantially perpendicular position with respect to said supporting surface.
