Shower shelf

A shelf support structure adapted to be suspended from a shaft extending out from the surface of a wall comprising:

• a frame comprised of a pair of spaced-apart generally vertical legs, the upper ends of which taper towards each other and merge into the lower ends of a pair of arms of a generally inverted U-shaped gripping portion adapted to be received over said shaft and to retain said shelf structure in place thereon, said vertical legs and said U-shaped gripping portion being formed from a single continuous member to provide the uppermost portion of said shelf structure with an uninterrupted closed configuration;
• said arms of said gripping portion tapering towards each other from the base of the inverted U-shaped gripping portion to define at their lower ends a throat at which the spacing between said arms is less than the diameter of said shaft;
• and
• at least one shelf extending between and attached to said vertical legs for supporting articles thereon;
• the configuration of said gripping portion coacting with said shaft to retain said structure in position and inhibit both displacement thereof along the axis of said shaft and rotation thereof about the axis of said shaft;
• the configuration of the upper ends of said vertical legs and of said pair of arms acting to facilitate guided positioning of said shelf structure on said shaft so that said shaft is guided by said upper ends into said gripping portion when said shelf structure is positioned in relation to said shaft so that said shaft is disposed between said upper ends of said vertical legs, and said shelf structure is moved downwardly with respect to said shaft.
