Claims (30)

1 . A support bracket comprising:

a support portion comprising:

a planar body;

an angled section extending from an end of the planar body, forming a catch;

an extension portion comprising:

a lower section coupled to the planar body;

a middle section extending from the lower section;

an upper section extending from the middle section; and

a securement member removably affixed to the extension portion, the securement member comprising:

an adjustment plate comprising one or more fastener holes;

an L-shaped member comprising:

a first leg comprising one or more fastener holes;

a second leg extending orthogonally from the first leg, forming an edge;

a recess provided about the edge and extending into the first leg and the second leg, wherein the recess receives the extension portion therethrough;

one or more fasteners securing the L-shaped member and the adjustment plate together through the one or more fastener holes of the first leg and the adjustment plate; and

wherein the adjustment plate and the L-shaped member are structurally distinct components.

2 . The support bracket of claim 1 , wherein the support portion further comprises an aperture provided at the end of the planar body opposite the angled section.

3 . The support bracket of claim 2 , wherein support portion further comprises a fastener provided through the aperture, forming a protrusion.

11 . The support bracket of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fastener holes of the first leg and the adjustment plate align, such that adjustment plate abuts the second leg when the L-shaped member and the adjustment plate are secured together.

12 . The support bracket of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fastener holes of the first leg and the adjustment plate align, such that no portion of adjustment plate extends beyond any edge of the L-shaped member when the L-shaped member and the adjustment plate are secured together.

13 . The support bracket of claim 1 , wherein the one or more fastener holes of the first leg and the adjustment plate align, such that adjustment plate abuts the second leg and no portion of adjustment plate extends beyond any edge of the L-shaped member when the L-shaped member and the adjustment plate are secured together.

14 . The support bracket of claim 1 , wherein the second leg comprises a magnetic material.

15 . The support bracket of claim 1 , wherein the second leg further comprises one or more through-holes.
