July 14, 1942 F. w. PORCELLI' 2,289,451
CORNER SHELF Filed Feb. 6, 1941 IN IENTOR INITNESSEEv v Fran/t w. For-Gel;
. ATTORNEYS Patented July 14, 1942 were srars PATENT OFFlQE 4 Claims.
This invention relates to shelves, and more particularly to the type of shelf adapted to be used in the corner of a room or where there are wall sides at right angles to each other.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple, sturdyshelf which may be economically made up and quickly and easily installed.
A further object is to provide a shelf of the type described, which requires a single fastening element and which thus avoids the marking and marring of the walls.
In the accompanying drawing- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a shelf embodying my invention;
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 3;
Fig. 3 is a top plan View;
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a supporting stud used in my invention;
Fig. 6 is a rear view of the stud;
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of a modified form of my invention;
Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the modification shown in Fig. 7.
As has previously been brought out, my device is a corner shelf adapted to be positioned against the walls It] and l I forming a corner [2.
I provide a supporting stud I4 which may be stamped out of a single piece of metal and which is provided with a groove [5 and a flared side l6 for strengthening purposes. Another groove I! at right angles to the groove [5 is likewise provided for strengthening purposes, and a hole I3 is provided to receive a nail [9 adapted to be driven into the corner 12 at an angle to best support the supporting stud.
The groove l1 forms a shoulder member which acts as a support for the shelf member 2|, as is most clearly shown in Fig. 2.
The supporting stud M has a stud member 22 provided with notches 23. The shelf member 21 is provided with a bracket 25 fastened to the shelf at 26. The bracket 25 has an upstanding lip 21, which lip has a hole 28 adapted to engage the notches 23 on the stud member 22. The shelf member 21 has an inner end 30 which extends under the bracket 25 and engages the stud member 22 at 3!. It will be seen therefore that while the upstanding lip 21 of the bracket member 25 engages the stud member 22, the end 30 of the shelf is positioned against the member 22 and rests on the shoulder 28 so that its weight is well supported.
In the modification shown in Figs. 7 and 8, the shelf member may be stamped out of one piece of metal with the end 36 thereof raised up to correspond with the lip 21. A hole 37 is made in the end 36 to engage the stud member 22, and a portion of the end 36 is cut out at 38 to form a tongue 39 which engages the member 22 to support the shelf, as shown in Fig. 8.
The modified shelf 35 engages the supporting stud M in the same manner as the shelf 2! and being of thinner construction will engage the lower of the notches 23 rather than the upper one.
It will be apparent from the drawing that the shelf may be readily removed from the stud by lifting the outer end thereof and raising th outer shelf for cleaning or other purposes. It will also be appreciated that the supporting stud being decorative in appearance will not mar the appearance of the wall if it is desired to leave the shelf down.
I claim:
1. The combination with a corner shelf having a bracket member positioned at the corner of said shelf and in a plane above the plane of said shelf, of a supporting stud, said stud being formed of a single piece of material and having a bracketengaging member to engage the bracket on said shelf, and a shoulder thereon to support the corner of said shelf.
2. The combination with a corner shelf having a bracket member raised from the surface of said shelf and in a plane above the planeof said shelf, said shelf having an extending member in the same plane as said shelf, of a supporting stud, said stud being formed of a single piece of material and being grooved laterally and longitudinally, said longitudinally grooved portion defining a bracket-engaging member and said laterally grooved portion defining a shoulder to engage the extending member on said shelf.
3. The combination with a corner shelf having a bracket. member fixed at the corner of said shelf, said bracket member being formed in a plane above the plane of said shelf and said shelf having a portion of said corner extending below said bracket member, of a supporting stud, said stud being provided with means to engage a corner, and a stud member adapted to engage the bracket member of said shelf and the extending member thereon.
4. The combination of a corner shelf having a member formed in a plane above the plane of the shelf at the corner thereof and an opening in said member with a supporting stud, said stud being provided with means to engage a corner and having its upper part spaced from said corner and adapted to engage said opening in said member, said stud being provided with a shoulder adapted to engage the corner of said shelf.
FRANK W. PORCELLI.
