Abstract
Abstract Disclosed herein are corner mountable brackets having sides which must be flexed to fit into place. The angle made by the sides of the bracket differs from the corner angle where the bracket is to be mounted so that the bracket must be flexed to fit into the corner. The bracket exerts spring tension against the corner so that it tends to push against the corner members. To fasten the bracket in place, its sides are provided with fastening means, such as sharp tabs projecting toward the walls forming the corner. The tabs are forced into the corner members by the spring tension.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
150 words
A support bracket for corner mounting comprising first and second integral sides flexibly joined along a line common to an edge of each side thereby forming an angle between said sides, said angle being different from that of the corner in which said bracket is to be mounted so that said bracket sides must be flexed to fit said corner, the first of said sides having an integral extension folded upwardly to be substantially perpendicular to said side and to span the space between said sides thereby forming a support between the sides of said bracket, the second of said sides having integral spaced extensions folded upwardly and arranged to receive therebetween said integral extension of said first side thereby to hold the support in supporting position, and fastening means including tabs struck integrally from both sides of said bracket facing the corner wherein said bracket is to be mounted.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
150 words
A support bracket for corner mounting comprising first and second integral sides flexibly joined along a line common to an edge of each side thereby forming an angle between said sides, said angle being different from that of the corner in which said bracket is to be mounted so that said bracket sides must be flexed to fit said corner, the first of said sides having an integral extension folded upwardly to be substantially perpendicular to said side and to span the space between said sides thereby forming a support between the sides of said bracket, the second of said sides having integral spaced extensions folded upwardly and arranged to receive therebetween said integral extension of said first side thereby to hold the support in supporting position, and fastening means including tabs struck integrally from both sides of said bracket facing the corner wherein said bracket is to be mounted.
