Application filed'J'uile 17, 1919. Serial No. 304,970.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE Ur. Bram)- ronh, a citizen of Newfoundland, residing at Herring Neck, in the District of Twillmgate, Dominion of Newfoundland, have 1nvented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Brackets; and I do hereby'declare the following to be a full,
clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in brackets and particularly to brackets which are used for supporting shelves and the like.
()ne object of the provide a novel and improved bracket which is readily adjustable so that the shelf may be disposed in a levelposition irrespective of the inclination of the supporting wall to which the bracket is attached.
Another object is to provide a novel and improved bracket which is simple in construction, formed of few parts, and which can be manufactured at a comparatively low cost.
Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawing.
In the drawing:
Figure l is a perspective view of a bracket made in accordance with my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the blank from which the upper horizontal member of the bracket is formed. I
Fig. 3 is a plan view of the blank from which the supporting arm is formed.
Fig. l is a plan view of the vertical back member of the bracket, in blank form.
Referring particularly'to the accompanying drawing, 10 represents the upper horizontal member of the bracket to which a shelf is adapted to be secured. This member is preferably formed from a blank such as shown in Fig.2, and consists of a single strip of metal doubled on its longitudinal median line 11, and further bent on the lon gitudinal lines 12, to produce the lateral horizontal wings 13. The forward end of the portion below the wings is cut off obliquely,
as at 14, and formed vertically in the said portion is a slot 15, in which is disposed the upper forward end of the adjustable arm 16.
This end of the arm 16 is pivotally connected present invention is to to the forward end of the member 10, as shown. The other end of the member is cut out centrally to produce the rolled portions 17 Disposed between these portions 17 and receiving, a pivot pin therethrough, is the rolled reduced upper end of the member 18 which is adapted to be attached to a wall. The lower end of the member 18 is cut centrally and longitudinally to a certain depth,
as shown at 19, and intersecting this cutare the transverse cuts 20, disposed at the inner end of the cut 19. The portions 21, at the sides of the central cut, are turned at right angles to the face of the member, and each is formed with a perforation for the reception of a pivot pin 23, said perforation being shown at 22, in Fig. 4. Straddling these portions 21, and also receiving the pin 23, is
a yoke-shaped member 24. Swiveled in the transverse portion of the yoke member is the lower end of a turnbuckle screw 25. central portion of this screw is formed with an eye 26 for the reception of a nail, or other suitable instrument by means of which the screw can be turned. The lower end of the arm 16 has an angularly turned portion 27 through which the other end of the screw is threaded, and whereby,when said screw is turned, the arm 16 will be moved, as will be more clearly explained later herein.
This bracket is especially designed for use on boats, or other places where the walls are not plumb, and by securing the bracket to the Wall, and the shelf on the horizontal Patented July 6,1920- The member 10, the arm 16 can be adjusted so as to bring the shelf to the proper level, irrespective of the angle of the wall. When the screw is turned in either direction, the arm 16 will be moved upwardly 0r downwardly,
whereby the level of the horizontal member can be easily and quickly obtained. The fact that the lower end of the screw has pivotal end, a horizontal member consisting of a single piece of metal doubled along its longitudinal medial line, with its marginal portions constituting laterally extending wings, the wings at one end being bent with resultant eyes between which the first named eye is pivotally engaged, the horizontal member at its end opposite to the eyes bein longitudinally slotted on its medial li-n'e,-an an adjustable brace disposed through said slot and pivoted to the doubled portions of the metal, and having its other end pivotally connected With the lower end portion of the vertical member. v
2. An adjustable bracket including a vertical member having an eye at the upper end, the lower end of said member being formed with a pair of centrally originatingand out- 7 Wardly extending .apertured Wings, a horizontal member formed from a single piece of metal doubled along its lOHgltlldlIlELl Inedian line and having laterally extending wings, one endof said horizontal member being formed with a pair of eyes between which the first eye is pivotal-ly'engaged, a yoke straddling the apertured 'Wings and pivotally connected thereto, an inclined arm pivotally connected to the other end of the horizontal member, and a turn'buckle'em.
