1. An adjustable wall cupboard holder group (10) for anchoring a cupboard (11) to a wall and suitable for being coupled on one side with an internal side wall (shoulder) (12) of said wall cupboard (11) and on another side, at least partially protruding externally from a rear wall or cover (13) of said wall cupboard (11), with a support fixed to the wall, said wall cupboard holder group (10) comprising a hooking element (14) to said sup-porting organ fixed to the wall, coupled at a first end with a central portion (16) of said wall cupboard holder (10) so that it can be adjusted in depth and inclination and equipped with a second free end protruding from behind said central portion (16) and hook-shaped (15) for fixing to said support, there also being regulation means (17, 17′

) of the depth and inclination of said hooking element (14) associated with and accessible in the front to said central portion (16), said wall cupboard holder (10) comprising a side flange (18) which extends from said central portion (16) associated with fixing means (19) of said wall cupboard holder group (10) on said one internal side wall (12) of said wall cupboard (11), characterized in that said wall cupboard holder (10) also comprises at least one element (20) resistant to shear forces, protruding from said side flange (18) towards said internal side wall (12) of said wall cupboard (11), said at least one element resistant to shear forces (20) collaborating with said fixing means (19) for a stable positioning of said wall cupboard holder group (10) on said one internal side wall (12) of said wall cupboard (11).

2. The wall cupboard holder group (10) according to claim 1, characterized in that said side flange (18) extends from above said central portion (16).

3. The wall cupboard holder group (10) according to claim 1, characterized in that said side flange (18) extends from below said central portion (16).

4. The wall cupboard holder group (10) according to claim 1, characterized in that said regulation means (17, 17′

) of the depth and inclination of said hooking element (14) associated with and accessible in the front to said central portion (16) comprise two screw-female screw mechanisms in which the head of a first regulation screw (30) is firmly housed in a counter-form (31) situated in said first portion (16), said first regulation screw (30) being longitudinally associated in an internal threaded seat of said hooking element (14) at an end (15′

) opposite to said hook (15) for the longitudinal movement of said hooking element (14), a second regulation screw (31) being envisaged, which is associated with said central portion (16) in a parallel and upper position with respect to said first regulation screw (30), said second regulation screw (31) acting on a movable circular lunette (33) enforcing a rotation of said hooking element (14) around a riveted pin (34).

5. The wall cupboard holder group (10) according to claim 1, characterized in that said at least one element resistant to shear forces (20) comprises at least one plug element (20) protruding from said side flange (18) coupled with holes situated in said internal side wall (12) of said wall cupboard (11).

6. The wall cupboard holder group (10) according to claim 5, characterized in that said at least one plug element (20) is integral with said side flange (18).

7. The wall cupboard holder group (10) according to claim 5, characterized in that said at least one plug element (20) is welded onto said side flange (18).
