Abstract: A support brace assembly for shelves such as shoe shelves has an integrated unitary structure comprising a truss with a lower leg having a support rib and a foot which rests stably against a wall. This leg is joined as by a gusset and a strut to an upper leg which has reinforcing ribs, with a front hook integral with the truss and for receiving a shelf rod so that the rod may be received within the hook bite with the bite gripping the rod. A rear resilient hook is integral with the upper leg and has a bite to receive another shelf rod flush against the bite. The upper leg has a foot which rests against the wall. The rear hook is spaced from the foot so that the passage between the tip of the rear hook and the foot is less than the thickness of the shelf rod received by the hook so that when the rod is moved through the passage, the rear hook expands to allow entry of the rod and snaps back to hold the rod in position. The foot of the upper leg has a wall anchor integral therewith.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved stand for a table saw which has an upper work supporting surface. The stand comprises a generally rectangular frame having a top, bottom, two spaced sides and two spaced ends. The table saw is secured to the top of the frame while a pair of elongated supports are secured to one end of the frame so that the supports are spaced apart and parallel to each other. A platform containing a plurality of rollers is pivotally mounted to the supports and is pivotal between an upper and a lower position. In its upper position, an upper surface of each roller on the platform is coplanar with the table saw work supporting surface so that work can be slid from the platform and to the table saw or vice versa. Conversely, in its lower position, the platform is flush against the end of the frame for compact storage. A locking lever retains a platform in its upper position when desired.
