International Classification:

A47K 1/00

US Classification:

248225210

Abstract:

The wall unit support system, configured for supporting cabinets and shelving flush against a wall, includes an elongated mounting rail and at least one inverted, J-shaped bracket engagable to the mounting rail. The rail has a planar back portion adapted for mounting to the wall and an elongated flange extending upwardly and outwardly parallel to the planar back portion. The rail may include a second flange extending downwardly and outwardly parallel to the planar back portion. The J-shaped bracket has a planar-face adapted for attachment to a back surface to a cabinet and a hooked portion. The hooked portion includes a descending leg and a U-shaped bight. The hooked portion slidably engages the flange of the mounting rail with the descending leg coplanar with the back portion of the mounting rail.

Abstract:

Apparatus for mounting a storage object, such as a cabinet or shelving unit, comprises a horizontal rail fixed to a vertical wall, the rail having a flange spaced from the wall to form a groove between the flange and the wall. An inverted J-shaped bracket secured to the object has a body portion terminating at its upper end in a reversely turned hook forming a lip which is accommodated in the groove between the rail flange and the wall. The rail and the bracket have engaged surfaces which avoid the imposition of torsional forces on the rail. The bracket is accommodated in a recess formed in that surface of the cabinet which confronts the wall and enables the cabinet to occupy a position flush against the wall. No part of the bracket extends beyond the side of the object, thereby enabling adjacent objects to abut one another.
