' A. F. CARLIN COMBINED SHELF AND BRACKET IN V EN TOR.
BY Wm ATTORNEY Patented Apr. 17, 1923.
iraosrara ill I ARVID F. CARLIN,OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
COMBINED SHELF ANDBRACKET.
Application filed May 17,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it'known that 1, Anvil) F. CARLIN, a citizen of the United States, and resident of New York, in the county Of New York cation.
and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Shelves and Brackets, of which the following is a specification.
The present invention relatesto combined shelves and brackets; the object thereof being to provide a portable device of this character which comprises a shelf and supporting brackets therefor, said parts being attached in such novel correlation as to admit of their being folded and superposed over each other, whereby the device may be maintained in compact form for purposes of transportation and readily extended into shape for effective use on a wall or other upright surface.
These and other objects are attained by employing a rectilinear or other shaped shelf-plate, brackets and brace-means in foldable relation therewith, and other novel features all as hereinafter fully described and specificallyset forth in the annexed claims. a
In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective View showing one example of my improved shelf and brackets. Fig. 2 is a perspective view showing a slight modifi- Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 55 of Fig. 1. Fig. ia vertical sectional view showing a slight modification of shelf and bracket formation.
In the drawings, referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3,l indicates a rectilinear plate of sheet metal making a shelf and having a beaded flange 2 extended around its four sides.
In hinged relation with said shelf, one at each end thereof, is a wire bracket 8. These brackets each embody an upright 1 and an obliquely extended part 5, the converging points of said parts being formed into an eye 6, for engaging a screw or other fastening means adapted to secure thebracket toa wall. The upper or free end of each upright L is provided with an eye 7 adapted for receiving a screw, and a lateral extension or spur 8 which is in'pivotal engagement with the rear side of the flange 2 of the shelf; the obliquely extended part 5 of each bracket is also provided with a lateral extension or spur 9, for pivotal en- 1920. Serial No. 381,975.
gagement with the front side of the flange 2, said spur 9 having a bent head 10, formed after the bracket is placed, to securely retain the bracket in place. .The brackets 3 may further be provided with loops 11, which register on a horizontal plane when the device is placed on a wall and are adapted to engage a rod 12, for holding towels, etc.
In the construction shown by Fig. 2 of the drawings, I employ an upright bracket 3, of construction described above, and an obliquiely extended bracket of similar c0nstruction, the eyes 6 of said brackets registering with each other for engaging a fastening screw. This arrangement of brackets may be employed for short shelves. For very long shelves I may employ two end brackets and an intermediate obliquely eX- tended bracket to act as a brace for adding stability .to the device.
In Fig. 4 of the drawings 1 have shown a vertical sectional view showinga slightly modified form of shelf having a beaded front part 13 which interlocks with a part 14 of the oblique arm 5 of the bracket; and the upright 4 of said bracket is provided with a lateral and downwardly extended end part 15 which passes through the flanged part 16 of said shelf.
When the device is not in'use, or when it is desirable to transport or store it in a minimum of space the brackets are simply folded over on the bottom of the shelf, whereby they may be packed within a small vertical space. When in use and fixed to a wall the brackets are simply unfolded and adjusted to a wall or other upright surface by means of screws or other suspending and fastening means.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
1. A bracket shelf comprising a plate of sheet metal having the edge bent to form a bead on the upper portion with the margin projecting downwardly below the plate. a pair of brackets each composed of a rod looped at the middle port-ion to form an eye, one upright arm projecting upwardly with the end portion bent to form an eye and the extremity bent laterally, the plate having apertures in the projecting flange to receive said bent ends, the other arm of each bracket being inclined and extending forwardly at an angle to said upright arm with the end portion bent to enter an apertured portion in the said'bead, whereby said brackets can support the shelf: at each end by "fastening means passed through said brackets, and can also fold against the plate.
2. A bracket shelf comprising a plate of sheet metal having the edge bent to form a bead on the upper portion with the margin projecting downwardly below the plate, a pair of bracketseach composed of a red looped at'the middle portion to forman eye, one upright arm projecting upwardly with the end portionbent to form an eye and the extremity bent laterally, the plate having apertures in the projecting'fiange to receive said bent ends, "the other arm of each bracket being inclined and ektending forwardly at an angle to said upright arm with the end portion bent to enter an apertured portion in the said bead, wherebysaid brackets can support the shelf at each end by fastening means passed through said brackets, and'can also told against the plate, one of said bracket members being longer than the other, whereby they can be brought together to form a corner shell: as set forth, Signed at New York cityin the county of New York and State of New York this 8 day Of B1367, 1920.
ARVID F. CARLIN.
