Claims13
A floating shelf hardware comprising:
- a wall plate comprising
- a full length;
- a height comprising a center,
- wherein the center is located at half a distance of the height, and
- wherein the center runs parallel with the full length of the wall plate;
- a top;
- a bottom;
- a front face comprising
- a series of vertically aligned screw holes spaced horizontally at intervals, and
- at least one stud attachment point, allowing for variable placement of the wall plate on a wall,
- wherein the screw holes are vertically spaced separately;
- two angular surfaces;
- and
- wherein a trapezoid geometry is formed by the two angular surfaces angled towards the center extended from the front face towards a small end, of the two angular surfaces and forming a retaining lip on both the top and bottom sides of the wall plate;
- a shelf slider comprising
- a corresponding geometry to the wall plate, allowing the shelf slider to movably attach to the wall plate and slide along the full length of the wall plate;
- a threaded opening extending through a width of the slider;
- a shelf extension arm that can be threaded into the threaded opening of the slider,
- wherein a back surface of the shelf extension arm contacts the face of the wall plate, thereby pulling the corresponding geometry of the slider against the two angular surfaces of the wall plate and preventing movement of the slider.
