Abstract: A wall shelf mount system includes a pair of suspended bracket units. Each bracket unit includes two channel sections. The channel sections have jaws spaced apart a distance less than the thickness of a shelf. A cable is threaded through registered transverse openings in the jaws and the ends of the cable include crimped eyelets. The shank of a wall fastener extends through both eyelets and into a wall to suspend the bracket unit from the wall as a closed loop. The front longitudinal edge of the shelf adjacent an end of the shelf is slipped between the legs of one channel section while the rear longitudinal edge is inserted between the jaws of the other channel section. An alternate structure includes a socket fastened to the wall with the cable threaded through an opening in the bottom of the socket and retained by an enlargement at the end of the cable. The opposite end of the cable extends through a bore in a plug with a transverse set screw bearing against the cable.
