Shelf support for glass shelving

Claim 2

A mounting structure for supporting glass shelving comprising: (a) an attachment bracket, the attachment bracket adapted to be mounted normal to a wall plane; the attachment bracket comprising a pair of legs, each leg having at least one mounting flange having at least one mounting hole formed therein, the legs being angularly inclined with respect to each other and terminating at an apex, the apex having an inner surface comprising an elongated hollow area; (b) a supporting member, the support member being sized to be received and secured in the hollow area such that when secured the support member will extend therefrom normal to the wall plane and in a plane parallel to the attachment bracket; and, (c) fastening means for securing the bracket to a support surface, the fastening means being projectable through the mounting hole.

Claim 3

The mounting structure of claim 1 wherein the supporting member comprises a straight bar extending in a plane parallel to the attachment bracket.

Claim 4

The mounting structure of claim 1 further comprising: (a) a pair of parallel spaced attachment brackets; (b) the supporting member comprises a generally U-shaped bracket having a first and a second member which extend along planes parallel to the mounting brackets and wherein the two extending members are connected to a third member, which is perpendicular to the two extending members.

Claim 5

The mounting structure of claim 3 wherein the U-shaped supporting member comprises a cylindrical bar which extends from the attachment brackets.

Claim 6

The mounting structure of claim 1 further comprising a grommet, mountable on the support bar.

Claim 7

A mounting structure for supporting glass shelving from an inner stud of a wall, comprising: (a) an attachment bracket, the attachment bracket adapted to be mounted normal to the wall on the inner wall stud, the attachment bracket comprising: a pair of legs, each leg having at least one mounting flange having at least one mounting hole formed therein, the legs being angularly inclined with respect to each other and terminating at an apex, the apex having an inner surface comprising an elongated hollow area; (b) a supporting bar, the support bar being sized to be received and secured in the hollow area such that when secured the support member will extend therefrom normal to the wall plane and in a plane parallel to the attachment bracket; and, (c) fastening means for securing the bracket to a support surface, the support surface comprising an inner stud of a wall, the fastening means being projectable through the mounting hole in the wall.

Claim 8

A mounting structure for supporting glass shelving from an inner stud of a wall, comprising: (a) an attachment bracket, the attachment bracket adapted to be mounted normal to the wall on the inner wall stud, the attachment bracket comprising: a pair of legs, each leg having at least one mounting flange having at least one mounting hole formed therein, the legs being angularly inclined with respect to each other and terminating at an apex, the apex having an inner surface comprising an elongated hollow area; (b) a supporting bar, the support bar being sized to be received and secured in the hollow area such that when secured the support member will extend therefrom normal to the wall plane and in a plane parallel to the attachment bracket; and, (c) fastening means for securing the bracket to a support surface, the support surface comprising an inner stud of a wall, the fastening means being projectable through the mounting hole in the wall.

Claim 9

The mounting structure of claim 6 wherein the supporting straight bar comprises a bar extending in a plane parallel with the attachment bracket.

Claim 10

The mounting structure of claim 6 further comprising; (a) a pair of parallel-spaced attachment brackets; and, (b) the supporting bar comprises a generally U-shaped bracket having a first and a second member each extending along a plane parallel to the mounting bracket, wherein the two parallel extending members are connected to a third member, which is perpendicular to the first and second members.

Claim 11

The mounting structure of claim 8 wherein the supporting bar comprises a cylindrical rod adapted to extend from the attachment bracket, through a wall, in a plane horizontal to the ground.

Claim 12

The mounting structure of claim 6 further comprising a grommet, mountable on the support bar.

Claim 13

A mounting structure for supporting glass shelving comprising: (a) a plurality of attachment brackets, each attachment bracket comprising: a pair of legs, each leg having at least one mounting flange, the mounting flange having at least one mounting hole formed therein, the legs being angularly inclined with respect to each other and terminating at an apex, the apex having an inner surface comprising an elongated hollow area; (b) a supporting member, the supporting member adapted to be received and secured in the hollow area, the supporting member comprising a generally U-shaped bracket having a first and a second member which extend along planes parallel to the mounting brackets wherein the two extending members are connected to a third member, which is perpendicular to the two extending members; and, (c) fastening means for securing each bracket to a support surface, the fastening means being projectable through the mounting hole.

Claim 14

A mounting structure for supporting glass shelving comprising: (a) a plurality of attachment brackets, each attachment bracket comprising: a pair of legs, each leg having at least one mounting flange, the mounting flange having at least one mounting hole formed therein, the legs being angularly inclined with respect to each other and terminating at an apex, the apex having an inner surface comprising an elongated hollow area; (b) a supporting member, the supporting member adapted to be received and secured in the hollow area, the supporting member comprising a generally U-shaped bracket having a first and a second member which extend along planes parallel to the mounting brackets wherein the two extending members are connected to a third member, which is perpendicular to the two extending members; and, (c) fastening means for securing each bracket to a support surface, the fastening means being projectable through the mounting hole.

Claim 15

The mounting structure according to claim 11 wherein the U-shaped bracket comprises a cylindrical bar.

Claim 16

The mounting structure according to claim 11 further comprising a pair of grommets mountable on the extending end members.
