Abstract
A wall bracket assembly has a wall plate with a pair of vertically spaced apart pivot pins adapted to pivotally hold a bracket arm. The pins may be noncircular to enable positioning of the bracket arm, and one pin may be longer than the other to facilitate assembly of the bracket. The bracket may have a tapered grooved end for receiving a hook or ring with a matching configuration. Alternatively, a saucer may have a grooved bottom adapted to be held on the top of the bracket arm and held in place by a hooked shaped element extending over the saucer edge.
Claims18
A wall bracket assembly comprising a wall plate and a bracket removably held therein, said wall plate comprising a base member having a wall mounting surface, first and second coaxial spaced apart pivot pins extending from said base member, said pins extending parallel to said surface with first ends affixed to said base member and second free ends, the free end of said first pin extending toward said second pin and the free end of said second pin extending away from said first pin, one of said pins being longer than the other of said pins, the longer of said pins having a portion thereof adjacent the first end of said longer pin with a non-circular cross section, said bracket having an article holding arm, and first and second spaced apart aligned projections, said projections having aligned holes with non-circular cross sections of the shape corresponding to the non-circular cross section of said portion of said one pin, said bracket being assembled with said aligned holes pivotally engaging said pins.
A wall bracket assembly comprising a wall plate and a bracket removably held therein, said wall plate comprising a base member having a wall mounting surface, first and second coaxial spaced apart pivot pins extending from said member, said pins extending parallel to said surface with first ends affixed to said base member and second free ends, the free end of said first pin extending toward said second pin and the free end of said second pin extending away from said first pin, one of said pins being longer than the other of said pins, with one of said pins having a portion thereof adjacent its first end with a non-circular cross section, said bracket having an article holding arm, and first and second spaced apart aligned projections, said projections having aligned holes with non-circular cross sections of said portion of said one pin, said bracket being assembled with said aligned holes pivotally engaging said pins, and a hanger removably held on the end of said arm away from said wall plate, the end of said arm away from said wall plate having a pair of grooves on opposite sides thereof extending parallel to the pivotal axis of said arm, said hanger having an aperture with ridges extending internally therein and adapted to engage the grooves of said arm.
A wall bracket assembly comprising a bracket arm and a hanger releasably held on said bracket arm, said bracket arm having a portion with first and second parallel grooves extending along opposite sides thereof, and means mounting said bracket arm whereby said grooves extend vertically, said hanger having an aperture of a size to enable fitting of said hanger over said arm, one end of said aperture having a pair of opposed inwardly extending ridges shaped to fit into said grooves of said arm, to restrain said hanger on said arm, the other end of said aperture being free of said ridges in order to enable assembling of said hanger over said arm.
A wall bracket assembly comprising an arm, means adapted to mount said arm to extend substantially horizontally, and a saucer removably held on said arm, said saucer having a groove extending at least part way centrally across its bottom side, said saucer being mounted on top of said arm with an end portion of said arm extending upwardly into said groove, said saucer having an upwardly extending rim, said groove having a cross section to closely fit said arm, said arm having a hook shaped portion extending upwardly adjacent said end portion thereof, said hook shaped portion extending over and engaging said rim of said saucer to hold said saucer on said arm.
