llNlT TAT FAT JOHN It. CASPER, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
SHELF-BRACKET.
To all 107mm it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN R. Casrnn, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Vashington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shelf-Brackets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in shelf brackets and has for an object to provide a resilient device of this character which is simple, efficient and economically constructed, and one which is particularly adapted for use in connection with book-cases and the like. 7 Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined in the appended claims.
In the drawings Figure l is an elevation of a portion of a bookcase showing the device attached to the side boards and a shelf in position thereon; Fig. 2 is a plan of the blank from which the bracket is formed; and Fig. 3 is a perspective of the bracket.
Like numerals of reference refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawing.
The numeral 1 designates a book-case, cabinet or the like, having side boards 2 of the ordinary type which support shelves by means of the shelf brackets t as will be described.
My improved form of bracket is made from a blank of resilient metal, shown in Fig. 2, it of course being understood that the weight to be supported determines the dimensions of the bracket to be used. The blank is bent intermediate its ends to form portions 5 and G lying in different vertical planes, the portion 5 being bent adjacent its ends at right angles to its plane and serrated to form teeth '7, while the portion 6 is similarly bent adj accnt its end to. form a supporting surface 8, such support being dis- Specifieation of Letters latent.

posed in a horizontal plane above that of the teeth 7 for a purpose which will hereinafter appear. By spacing the portions 5 and 6, as shown in Fig. 1, the resiliency of the bracket and its binding effect upon the shelf is increased.
As will be readily appreciated, the device may be easily secured to the inner surface of the case or cabinet so as to provide an efficient form of resilient bracket for removably supporting the end of a shelf thereon, the plane of the support 8 being raised above that of the teeth 7 to provide a driving surface.
What is claimed is 1. A resilient shelf bracket comprising a blank having teeth at one end, said blank being bent at right angles to the plane of said teeth, thence downwardly upon itself, the blank being also bent at right angles adjacent its other end to form a support, said support and teeth being disposed in horizontal planes one above the other to provide a driving surface.-
2. A shelf bracket comprising a blank having teeth at one end, said blank being bent at right angles to the plane of said teeth, thence downwardly upon itself and outwardly to form a supporting surface.
3. A resilient shelf bracket having spaced vertical portions, a support at one end, teeth at the opposite end, a driving surface for said teeth, said teeth and support lying in different horizontal planes, and eXtending in opposite directions from the planes of said vertical portions.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
U. S. J. DUNBAR.
