Abstract A shelf bracket structure includes a wood shelf bracket having a channel in its upper surface extending from the rear end of the bracket part way along the bracket and a hole spaced from such end of the bracket and extending from the bottom of the channel downwardly and rearwardly of the bracket. A metal attaching member has a horizontal body portion received in the channel and a downwardly and rearwardly bent end portion received in the hole of the bracket. The other end of the attaching member has an upwardly extending portion for attaching the bracket to a wall or other support. This upwardly extending portion may be positioned rearwardly of the bracket for hooking engagement in a hole in a support strip or in a modification may have a rear surface flush with the rear end surface of the bracket and a hole extending through the upwardly extending portion to receive a screw or other fastener for securing the attaching member to a wall or other support member.
A shelf bracket structure, which comprises; a shelf bracket having a vertically extending rear end surface for positioning against a vertical support surface and a forwardly extending upper surface having a channel in said upper surface extending forwardly from said rear end surface part way along said bracket and a hole spaced from said rear end surface and extending from said channel downwardly and rearwardly in said bracket; an attaching member having an elongated body portion positioned in said channel and having a downwardly and rearwardly bent portion on one end of said member positioned in said hole in said bracket; said bracket structure having means including an upwardly bent portion on the other end of said attaching member for fastening said attaching member to said support.
