Abstract: A bracket includes an anchor plate for mounting on the front face of a narrow vertical member such as a stud and having a channel-like opening for pivotally supporting a hanger member. The support member has a pair of fingers spaced apart a distance greater than the width of the vertical member and connected by a cross member integral with the fingers and including an offset central section having a pair of vertical legs. The side legs of the central section are spaced apart less than the width of the vertical member. When the support member is in an extended, operational position, the side legs rest against the vertical front face of the vertical member to limit further downward pivotal movement of the support member under the influence of gravity. The support member pivots upward with respect to the bracket to a retracted storage position where the fingers are stowed adjacent the sides of the vertical member and the side legs limit further rearward movement.

Abstract: A bracket mounted on a vertical surface has an anchor plate with a vertical, rearwardly opening channel for supporting an article carrying support arm having a vertical leg pivotally seated in the channel and an outwardly projecting leg for article support. The upper portion of the anchor plate, including the channel, is forwardly inclined along a horizontal fold line to form a downwardly recessed seat for the support arm. The recessed seat positively positions the arm to extend outwardly with respect to the vertical surface to which the anchor plate is attached. The bracket has a stored or retracted position wherein the outwardly projecting leg of the support arm is positioned between the vertical mounting surface and the forwardly inclined portion of the anchor plate so the support arm is stored parallel to the vertical surface.
