Supporting bracket for wall-mount rack
A supporting bracket is designed to connect to a wall-mount rack by inserting hooks provided at a rear end of the bracket into holes provided on a front side of a vertical post of the wall-mount rack. The supporting bracket includes two parallelly spaced side wall portions, on top edges of which retaining slots are formed to enable the support of two shelves at two opposite lateral sides of the bracket. Two rails may be connected to two sides of the bracket for supporting a drawer-type container. A hanger may be connected to a lower side of the bracket to support a crossbar for holding suit hangers. The supporting bracket is therefore a multipurpose and highly efficient supporting member very practical for use on the wall-mount rack for supporting different types of holding members.
1. A supporting bracket for a wall-mount rack, comprising:
a bracket body including a narrow long rib portion forming a lower side of said bracket body, and two side wall portions upward extended from two narrow long lateral edges of said rib portion by a predetermined height to be parallel to each other; said two side wall portions being correspondingly provided on their top edges with a plurality of retaining slots each; a rearmost one of said retaining slots on each of said two side wall portions having a rearward opening; and the two side wall portions being correspondingly provided with an L-shaped guide slot each; and
an elastic stopper disposed on said bracket body behind the two rearmost retaining slots on said two side wall portions; said elastic stopper including a reversed U-shaped member and an elastic element, said reversed U-shaped member having a long slot formed thereon, into which a first rivet immovably fixed on the bracket body is extended; a second rivet immovably fixed to the reversed U-shaped member being extended into said L-shaped guide slots formed on said sidewall portions; and said elastic element being connected at two ends to said first and said second rivet, forcing said reversed U-shaped member to automatically elevate to a highest possible position to normally block said rearward openings of said two rearmost retaining slots on said two side wall portions of said bracket body.
2. The supporting bracket for the wall-mount rack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said reversed U-shaped member has a slightly forward and downward inclined top.
3. The supporting bracket for the wall-mount rack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least one of said retaining slots on each of said two side wall portions is an L-shaped retaining slot.
4. The supporting bracket for the wall-mount rack as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each said two side wall portions of said bracket body is provided at a rear end with at least one hook.
