Maybe you can investigate just enough to see if there's a manufacturer
stamp on one? I've never seen such an animal as you describe either...

Here's the closest I've seen. It's still 1/2" thick, but designed to fit
into a groove on the bottom of the shelf.
They Call it a "floating Bracket"

I am looking for a different type of shelf support than you usually see. The
piece that connects to the "shelf standard", and holds up the shelf, is not
a vertical piece that I want but a flat piece. It would look a little bit
like a standard shelf "clip" if the shelf clip were 10" long instead of the
usual 1" to 1 1/2" or so.
Anyone else seen something like that?
Thanks, Sean.

Yes, I have seen them. They are in a local bookstore. Unfortunately I can
not ask them where they got them because I am the competition.

I've never seen one like that and I doubt it would be strong enough to
support books. The rest of us use shelf pins to prevent the problem you
describe.

Several styles are shown here:

That "floating bracket" is the closest I have seen, but still not quite what
I need. The ones that I saw in a local bookstore looked a little like the
"floating brackets", but they were turned upside down. They also weren't so
fancy. (ie: read "expensive". I will be buying about 700 hundred of them, so
the price is a factor. At $11.00 each for an 8" bracket, it is too much.)
The ones that I saw also looked like they fit into more common looking
"standards". (With vertical slots every inch or two.)
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Sean.
