Brackets, bins, and shelves

A method for removably attaching a bin, shelf, or other holder to a structure wall comprising:

• providing a mounting system comprising at least one mounting bracket, the at least one mounting bracket having a truncated wedge shape and beveled side edges;
• the bin, shelf, or other holder, the bin, shelf, or other holder comprising:
• a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, a bottom wall, a reinforcement edge along a top edge of the rear wall of the bin, shelf, or other holder proximate the bracket cavity, and at least one recess formed in part by a portion of the bin at the rear wall,
• each at least one recess having (i) a downward-facing bracket cavity at a top portion of the at least one recess, (ii) side edges that are beveled and (iii) a truncated wedge shape complimentary to the at least one mounting bracket,
• securing the at least one mounting bracket to the structure wall;
• positioning the bin, shelf, or other holder proximate the structure wall over the secured mounting bracket with the at least one recess aligned over the secured at least one mounting bracket;
• and
• lowering the bin, shelf, or other holder down onto the at least one secured mounting bracket wherein at least a portion of the at least one secured mounting bracket is within the at least one recess, wherein a top portion of the at least one mounting bracket extends into the bracket cavity, and wherein the reinforcement edge spaced from the portion of the bin at the rear wall forming the bracket cavity to thereby form a structure having the bracket cavity, then the portion of the bin at the rear wall forming the bracket cavity, then a space, and then the reinforcement edge.

A mounting system for a bin, shelf, or other holder, comprising:

• at least one mounting bracket having a truncated wedge shape and beveled side edges;
• and
• a bin, shelf, or other holder comprising:
• a front wall, a rear wall, a left side wall, a right side wall, a bottom wall, at least one recess on an outside of the rear wall, and a reinforcement edge extending longitudinally along a top edge of the rear wall of the bin, shelf, or other holder proximate the bracket cavity for at least half the length of the top edge of the rear wall;
• each at least one recess having (i) a downward-facing bracket cavity at a top portion of the at least one recess, wherein the bracket cavity is formed by a portion of the rear wall that extends over the at least one recess, (ii) side edges that are beveled and (iii) a truncated wedge shape complimentary to the at least one mounting bracket,
• wherein the at least one recess is configured to engage the at least one mounting bracket in a dove tail connection,
• wherein the beveled side edges of the at least one mounting bracket contact the beveled side edges of the at least one recess over at least half the length of the side walls of the at least one mounting bracket,
• wherein a top portion of the at least one mounting bracket extends into the bracket cavity in a tongue-in-groove manner and contacts a distal end of the bracket cavity, with the sides of the recess formed by three straight recess walls connected by four straight, angled corners to each other and the back wall, with one portion of the back wall connected to a first recess wall at a first straight, angled corner, the first recess wall connected to a second recess wall at a second straight, angled corner, the second recess wall connected to a third recess wall at a third straight, angled corner, the third recess wall connected to a fourth recess wall at a third straight, angled corner, and the fourth recess wall connected to another portion of the back wall at a fourth straight, angled corner,
• wherein the reinforcement edge is sized and angled such that a free distal end of the reinforcement edge touches the structure wall when the at least one mounting bracket is secured to the structure wall and the bin, shelf, or other holder is secured to the at least one mounting bracket,
• wherein the bin, shelf, or other holder is configured such that a rear bottom edge of the bin, shelf, or other holder touches a structure wall when the at least one mounting bracket is secured to the structure wall, the bin, shelf, or other holder is secured to the at least one mounting bracket, and the bin, shelf, or other holder is empty, and
• wherein the top portion of the at least one mounting bracket is covered by the bin, shelf, or other holder, such that when the at least one mounting bracket is engaged with the at least one recess the bin, shelf, or other holder is secured to the at least one mounting bracket and prevented from being pulled forward from said at least one mounting bracket.
