Suspended shelf bracket

A bracket adapted for the support and suspension of a plurality of shelf platforms comprising

• a support member formed by an upwardly extending rib portion forming one end of said support member and a lower extending flange portion forming the lower portion thereof,
• said upwardly extending rib having a width dimension less than one-half of the width dimension of said lower extending flange portion and being positionally carried at the approximate midposition of said lower flange portion,
• each of said upwardly extending rib and lower extending flange portions provided with apertures formed therein adjacent the outer ends thereof respectively,
• said bracket being completed by support means mounted on said support member intermediate said upwardly extending rib portion and said lower extending flange portion,
• said support means formed by a pair of support fingers extending laterally outwardly and in normal relation with respect to said rib and flange portions respectively,
• whereby a plurality of said shelf brackets may be employed to freely suspend a shelf platform by inserting said rib portion of said shelf bracket through an aperture provided in the shelf platform until the lower surface of the shelf platform is supported by said support means extending laterally outwardly from the support member, and said upper and lower apertures provided in said rib portion and flange portion respectively accommodating the insertion therein of a suspension cable whereby the cable extending upwardly from said rib portion interconnects with the support structure positioned thereabove while the cable extending from the aperture in said flange portion downwardly supports the next freely suspended shelf platform therebelow.
