Abstract: A support bracket for attaching a shelf to walls includes a substantially planar body having upper and lower body portions. The upper body portion includes a pair of substantially parallel lateral edges extending upward from the lower body portion and coplanar therewith. A support projects forward from the lower body portion for supporting the edge of a shelf. A flexural plate is attached to each parallel, lateral edge and has an inner edge and a lower shelf engaging edge. Each extends forwardly and inwardly from the lateral edge toward a medial portion of the upper body portion to form a gap between the inner edges of the plates. A flexible sheet hinge is attached to the flexural plates and extending along the inner and upper edges of the plates. The inner edges of the shelves move toward each other and the plates flatten into a more coplanar configuration with the body member and the flexural plates return to their original orientation as the upper edge of the shelf passed the lower shelf engaging edges.

Abstract: A retaining apparatus is provided for mounting glass panels within the cabinet frame such as china cabinet doors or the like. The retaining apparatus contains an insert which is resilient and provides a cushion effect to the glass panels which may be subject to sudden impacts during shipping and handling. The insert can be removed and replaced by a thicker or thinner insert as needed.

Abstract: A retainer clip for fastening a fragile panel into a surrounding frame comprises an integral body member which is composed of a relatively rigid material and a cushioning pad which is composed of a relatively soft material. Means are provided for mounting the cushioning pad on the body member. The cushioning pad contacts the edge portion of the panel when the body member is secured to the surrounding frame.
