Abstract
A storage system includes a shelf bracket that has an elongate rigid mounting structure. The shelf bracket includes a top arm extending outwardly from, and orthogonal to, the elongate rigid mounting structure. The shelf bracket further includes a bottom arm extending outwardly from the elongate rigid mounting structure, at an angle of between 5-60 degrees. The bottom arm is in the form of a strut channel that includes a U-shaped cross section that includes a back wall, two opposed side walls extending downwardly from the back wall, each of the opposed side walls extending to an inwardly extending portion, which extends to an edge.
Claims4
A shelf bracket that is adapted to be mounted on a vertical wall, the shelf bracket comprising:
- an elongate rigid mounting structure having a top end and a bottom end;
- a means for mounting the elongate rigid mounting structure upon the vertical wall so that the elongate rigid mounting structure is disposed in a vertical orientation that abuts or adjacent to the vertical wall;
- a top arm extending outwardly from the elongate rigid mounting structure adjacent the top end, the top arm being in the form of a strut channel that includes a U-shaped cross section that includes a back wall, two opposed side walls extending upwardly from the back wall, each of the opposed side walls extending to an inwardly extending portion, which extends to a downwardly extending portion, the downwardly extending portion terminating in an edge;
- wherein the top arm extends in a horizontal orientation orthogonal to the elongate rigid mounting structure;
- a bottom arm extending outwardly from the elongate rigid mounting structure from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the proximal end is attached to the elongate rigid mounting structure between the top arm and the bottom end of the elongate rigid mounting structure, and wherein the distal end is attached to the top arm so that the top arm and the bottom arm form an angle of between 5-60 degrees;
- and
- wherein the bottom arm is in the form of a strut channel that includes a U-shaped cross section that includes a bottom arm back wall, two opposed bottom arm side walls extending downwardly from the bottom arm back wall, each of the opposed bottom arm side walls extending to a bottom arm inwardly extending portion, which extends to a bottom arm upwardly extending portion, the bottom arm upwardly extending portion terminating in a bottom arm edge.
