To ad whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN D. JOHNSTQN, a r ".izen of the United States, residing at Newport, in the county of Newport and State of Rhode Island, have invented and produced a new and original Design for a Shelf-Bracket, of which the following is a specification.

The minor features of the design are the hook at one end of the shank being provided with the angular or approximately V-shaped point, and the rectangular oset rest-arm being of a greater width than the shank from which it projects.

Referring particularly to the drawings, the numeral 1 designates the shank or body portion of the bracket, which shank is flat and of a cross-sectionally-rectangnlar shape. The said straight dat shank is provided at one end with a downturned U-shaped hook 2, having an angular or approximately V-shaped point or nose 3, and in addition to the hook the shank is further provided intermediate its ends with a laterally offset approximatelyrectangular fiatrest-arm 4. This rest-arm is of a greater width than the shank from which it projects, and is extended from one of the fiat faces of the shank at right angles thereto and from the side opposite the hook.

What is claimed is- The design for a shelf-bracket herein shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
