Abstract
A wall support system is provided and includes an adjustable bracket system that attaches a bracket support beam to one or more of the traffic barriers. The adjustable bracket system includes two bracket members spaced apart by a top connecting member; where the top connecting member supports the bracket assembly straddled overtop the bracket support beam which is laid transversely atop one or more barriers. The bracket members are fastened to the barrier and tightened to the bracket support beam. This creates an adjustable system that can accommodate barriers of various cross-sectional widths and wall angles, to form a strong connection between a framework and the barriers.

A wall support system for attachment to a concrete barrier, the wall support system comprising:
- a) a bracket having:
- i) a left bracket member;
- ii) a right bracket member;
- iii) a top connecting member configured to connect the left bracket member to the right bracket member, the left bracket member having a left attachment portion and the right bracket member having a right attachment portion;
- iv) a bottom connecting member configured to connect the left bracket member to the right bracket member below the top connecting member;
- and
- b) a wall framework having:
- i) a wall support beam;
- and
- ii) a bracket support beam configured to attach to and extend transversely from the wall support beam;
- wherein the bracket support beam is configured to be situated between the top connecting member and the bottom connecting member;
- wherein the bracket is configured to straddle the bracket support beam with the left bracket member and the right bracket member on opposites sides of the bracket support beam;
- and
- wherein the left attachment portion of the left bracket member and the right attachment portion of the right bracket member are each configured to fasten the bracket to the concrete barrier to hold the bracket support beam to the concrete barrier.
A wall support system for attachment to a barrier, the wall support system comprising:
- a) a bracket having a left bracket member, a right bracket member spaced apart from the left bracket member, and a top connecting member spanning between and connecting the left bracket member to the right bracket member;
- and
- b) a wall framework having a wall support beam and a bracket support beam attached to and extending transversely from the wall support beam;
