Floating shelf bracket with height adjustment system
A shelf system includes a bracket, a fastener configured to extend into a wall through the bracket, a lag bolt configured to extend into the wall and rotate within a notch defined by the bracket, and a support arm configured to extend from the bracket. The bracket and the lag bolt are configured to move the bracket relative to the wall when the lag bolt rotates within the notch. A method for setting a shelf surface angle includes movably attaching a bracket to a wall, positioning a component within a notch defined by the bracket, extending the component into the wall, and, by adjusting the extension of the component, causing the bracket to move relative to the wall until the angle is achieved. A system for setting a shelf surface angle includes a support arm and a means, attached to the support arm, for setting the angle.
1. A shelf system for a wall, comprising:
a wall bracket including a wall-facing surface, a shelf-facing surface, a top surface, and a bottom surface, the bottom surface defining a notch extending between the wall-facing surface and the shelf-facing surface, the wall bracket further defining a through-hole positioned above the notch and extending between the wall-facing surface and the shelf-facing surface;
a fastener configured to extend through the through-hole and into the wall;
a lag bolt configured to extend into the wall and rotate within the notch and comprising first and second lag bolt flanges; and
a shelf support arm configured to extend from the wall bracket;
wherein the wall bracket and the lag bolt are configured to move the wall bracket relative to the wall when the lag bolt extends into the wall and rotates within the notch, and wherein the lag bolt further comprises a lag bolt shaft portion extending between the first lag bolt flange and the second lag bolt flange, wherein the wall bracket and the lag bolt are configured to allow the lag bolt shaft portion to rotate within the notch, and wherein the wall bracket and the lag bolt are further configured to allow the first lag bolt flange to rotatably abut the shelf-facing surface when the lag bolt shaft portion rotates within the notch.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the wall bracket and the lag bolt are further configured to allow the second lag bolt flange to rotatably abut the wall-facing surface when the lag bolt shaft portion rotates within the notch.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the wall-facing surface defines a recess configured to receive the second lag bolt flange.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first T-channel is positioned left of the through-hole and left of the notch, the wall bracket defines a second T-channel positioned right of the through-hole and right of the notch, and the shelf support arm includes a second support arm flange configured to engage the second T-channel.
5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the first support arm flange is configured to slide into the first T-channel and the second support arm flange is configured to slide into the second T-channel.
