Abstract
The present application provides various examples of bracket for mounting a shelf to a flat vertical surface such as a wall. Examples and configurations disclosed herein provide brackets that have a high ratio of weight-supporting capacity to visibility relative to previous wall-mountable shelf-support apparatuses. One or more elongate members may extend through one or more apertures in a metal base. The proximal end(s) of the one or more elongate members may be welded to the back of the metal base around a cross-sectional perimeter of a cross-sectional shape that is shared by the proximal ends of the elongate members and the back ends of the apertures.
Claims28
A metal bracket for a floating shelf, the metal bracket comprising:
- a metal base with a planar back side configured to press against a wall;
- a plurality of circular apertures, each aperture extends through a front side of the metal base and through the back side of the metal base;
- a plurality of metal pipes, each respective metal pipe extends completely through the metal base via a respective circular aperture to the planar back side;
- and
- a plurality of circumferential welds, each joining a proximal axial end of each respective metal pipe to the planar back side of the metal base around a perimeter of the respective circular aperture;
- wherein the plurality of circumferential welds is locate at the planar back side of the base.
A bracket for supporting a shelf, the bracket comprising:
- a base with a flat back side configured to press against a wall;
- an aperture extending through the base;
- and
- an elongate member that extends completely through the base via the aperture, wherein a proximal end of the elongate member is joined to the flat back side of the base at a back end of the aperture.
A bracket for a floating shelf, the bracket comprising:
- a base with a planar back side configured to press against a wall;
- a plurality of apertures extending through the base;
- and
- a plurality of poles, wherein each respective pole extends completely through the base via a respective aperture and a proximal end of each respective pole is joined to the planar back side of the base around a cross-sectional perimeter of the respective aperture.
