Bracket for a pilaster

摘要

A bracket which attaches to a pilaster is disclosed. The bracket itself is useful for holding shelves in a cabinet. The bracket is most useful when more than two are combined in conjunction with a rail or similar track and used to support a drawer or movable shelf.;A dowel or peg on the bracket is inserted into a hole on a pilaster and the bracket rests against the pilaster, held in place by gravity and friction. A drawer rail or similar structure may connect two or more brackets so that a drawer or shelf is supported by the rail. The design of the brackets reduces the time and effort associated with placing such brackets and supports in cabinets and other structures.

主权项

1. A bracket comprising a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis, a base portion, a first projection, a second projection, a top and a bottom,
a. said base portion having a width transverse to the bracket's longitudinal axis, a length parallel to the bracket's longitudinal axis, an internal face and an external face, b. said first projection having a width transverse to the bracket's longitudinal axis, a length parallel to the bracket's longitudinal axis, an internal face and an external face, c. said base portion and first projection being connected to each other and forming a substantially right angle such that the bracket can be placed against a rectangle parallel to the bracket's longitudinal axis so that the base portion's internal face and the first projection's internal face are largely in continuous contact with said rectangle, d. said first projection further comprising a dowel having a length and a diameter,
i. said dowel having an orientation substantially parallel to the bracket's transverse axis, andii. having a point of origin on the said first projection's internal face,
a) said point of origin located at a level along the first projection's length greater than the said base portion's length, e. said second projection having a width transverse to the bracket's longitudinal axis, a length parallel to the bracket's longitudinal axis, an internal face and an external face, f. said base portion and second projection being connected to each other and forming a substantially right angle such the said first projection's internal face is largely parallel to, and faces, the second projection's internal face.
