Description
Aug. '12, I930. c. BEARDSLEY BATHROOM SHELF BRACKET Filed Aug. 19, 1925 INVENTOR Charles lZB/a rdslqy ATTORNEY Patented Aug. 12, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE CHARLES E. IBEARDSLEY, OF WATER-BURY, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE-AS SIGNMENTS, TO THE BEARDSLEY AND WOLCOTT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF WATEBBURY, CONNECTICUT, A CORPORATION OF CONNECTICUT BATHROOld-SHELF BRACKET Application filed August 19, 1925.
This invention relates to bathroom wall fixtures, and more particularly to an improved type of shelf bracket construction adapted to support the ends of a shelf.
The objects of this invention are to provide a device of this nature which will be simple in construction, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to install, compact, ornamental in appearance, very eficient and durable in use.
With these and other objects in view there has been illustrated on the accompanying drawings one form in which the invention may be embodied in practice.
Fig. 1 represents a top plan view, with parts broken away, of a shelf supported in a pair of the shelf brackets.
Fig. 2 is a front view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a side View of the left hand shelf bracket.
Referring now to the drawings in which like reference numerals denote corresponding parts throughout the several views, the numeral .10 indicates a shelf, which may be constructed from any suitable material such as glass. The shelf 10 is substantially rectangular in shape, has rounded corners 11, and is adapted to be supported at its ends by a pair of complementary shelf brackets 12 and 13. Each of the brackets 12 and 13 comprises a horizontal flat base section 1d, and a vertical flat rear wall-engaging section 15., said section 15 being semi-oval in shape and having three apertures '16 for receiving screws or other means by which the bracket may be attached to a wall, as of a bathroom.
' In order to form a support for the front part of the glass shelf 10 to prevent it from sliding forwardly, each of said brackets 12 and 13 is provided at its front end with an upstanding lug 17 said lug being connected to the rear wall-engaging section 15 by a longitudinal rib 18, said rib being integrally joined to the bottom of the base section 14 and the front of the rear section 15, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
The base section 14: of the left-hand shelf bracket is provided on its left-hand side with an upwardly extending lug 19, said lug being connected with the strengthening rib 18 of Serial No. 51,147.
said bracket by means of a transverse rib 19 on the under side of the base 14L. The rib 19 is in alinement with the lug 19 and serves to increase the strength and rigidity of the ment with the lug 20 for connecting said lug 20 with the rib 18 of the right-hand bracket.
One advantage of the present invention is the extreme rigidity of the shelf brackets which is due to the use of both transverse and longitudinal strengthening ribs on the under surface of the base sections thereof. This construction makes it possible to manufacture the brackets out of porcelain or other-relatively frangible material with the minimum danger of breakage during use.
While there has been disclosed in this specification one form in which the invention may be embodied, it is to be understood that this form is shown for the purpose of illustration only, and that the invention is not to be limited to the specific disclosure but may be modified and embodied in various other forms without departing from its spirit. In short, the invention includes all the modifications and embodiments coming within the scope of the following claims.
Having thus fully described the invention, what is claimed as new and for which it is desired to secure Letters Patent is:
1. In a shelf bracket, a horizontal base section, a vertical wall-engaging section, an inclined longitudinal rib integrally connected to the bottom of said base section along its entire length and integrally united with the front of said wall-engaging section, and an integral transverse rib intermediate the ends of the base section extending from one side of said inclined rib to the lateral edge of said base section. I
2. In a shelf bracket, a base section, a wallengaging section, said sections being integral- 1y connected by an inclined longitudinal flat rib and a transverse rib located under said base section and in front of said wall-engaging section.
3. In a shelf bracket, a horizontal base section having a front lug and a side lug for engaging the front and end of a shell to prevent said shelf from moving forwardly or laterally, said bracket having a vertical Wall-engaging section and an inclined rib in the corner formed by said base section and said Wall-engaging section for connecting the bottom of said base section to the front of said wall-engaging section, said inclined rib being in alinenient with said front lug, and an auxiliary strengthening rib extending from said inclined rib to the bottom of said side lug with which it is in alineinent.
4. In a shelf bracket, a flat base section, a Wall-engaging section, said sections being integrally connected by an inclined longitudinal rib, and a transverse rib located under said base section and in front of said wallengaging section, said ribs terminating in upstanding lugs to support the front and side of the shelf.
In testimony whereof, I have aliixed my signature to this specification.
CHARLES E. BEARDSLEY.
