  • Patent number: 4252297
    Abstract: A moveable cart for transporting structures which are adapted for mounting upon a wall rail. The cart is constructed with a roller linkage assembly pivotally mounted to a wheeled frame and a deck mounted on the linkage assembly. The deck is engaged by the rollers of the linkage assembly so that the vertical position of the deck can be moved with regard to the wall rail, allowing a modular cell structure placed on the deck to be carried upward or downward. A rack driven gear locking assembly is rotatably mounted to the deck. The gear locking assembly is engaged by a rack assembly which is driven by the roller linkage assembly so that it rotates against the sides of the structure to hold the structure in a fixed position during the transportation and vertical positioning of the deck.

    Abstract: A wall bracket system is disclosed which is supported on a vertical wall by a single horizontally extending wall rail. The bracket system comprises a bracket, key member and spacer member. The bracket is provided with a vertically adjustable key member which attaches to the rear surface of the bracket and supports the same by being held in a channel of the wall rail. A vertically adjustable spacer member is also provided which serves to space the lower portion of the bracket from the vertical wall. Additionally, a support member is provided which slides over and is held secure by a plurality of upwardly extending screw heads. This support member is secured to the underside of a shelf or other item to be supported by the bracket and after sliding over the protruding screw heads provides an anti-lateral displacement mechanism.
