Abstract: A wall bracket to support the side of a shelf. A cradle extending from a back plate and a pair of wall anchors formed integrally with the back plate. Laterally expandable fingers on the wall anchors. Drive pins for being driven through the sockets to expand the fingers. Reinforcing ribs on the front of the back plate to strengthen the sockets against strain of the drive pins.

Abstract: An end cap for selective installation on rod ends of different diameters. The end cap is a cup-like member having an annular side wall extending between a closed end and an open end. Adjacent the open end, the annular side wall has a substantially cylindrical section which leads to a tapered section of gradually reducing diameter toward the closed end.

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: An adjustable back clip for mounting a shelf to a wall comprising a clip body and a drive pin. A hook member on the body receives a shelf wire. A stop is hinged to the body by an internal short plastic strap and is pivotable to block the open side of the hook member and to hide the head of the drive pin. Notches on the end of the stop reduce the width of the stop end and can receive a cross wire of a shelf. A wall anchor is integral with the clip body and has fingers laterally expandable when the drive pin is driven through the anchor. The fingers have transverse wall portions engageable by the drive pin to swing the fingers to substantially ninety degree angles to the axis of the drive pin and anchor. A web is in front of the transverse wall portions in the path of the drive pin.

Abstract: A support brace assembly having a steel brace, a plastic cap at one end, and a plastic wall anchor at the other end. Interengageable means lock the cap to the brace. A retainer hinged to the cap. Complementrary recesses in the cap and retainer. Interengageable locking means to lock the retainer to the cap in either of two positions to form a wire enclosure of the complementary recesses sized to accommodate a wire of either of two diameters. Resilient retaining means on the wall anchor to hole it on the brace. Fingers on the wall anchor laterally expandable to engage a wall when a pin is driven into the wall anchor. A web in the path of the pin as it approaches the fingers.

Abstract: A wall anchor having a socket and a drive pin. A passage within the socket receives the drive pin. Fingers on the leading end of the socket have walls in the path of the pin. The fingers pivot into contact with the back surface of the wall by a cam action of the drive pin against the fingers and slightly spaced from a web in front of the fingers. Ribs on the inner wall of the passage grip the drive pin in a ready position. A head on the socket and barbs on the outer wall hold the socket in another part. The fingers have generally flat faces that are barbed to make maximum contact with the wall surface. The drive pin has a shank at its lead portion and helical threads at its trailing portion with a head on the trailing end. The drive pin can be driven by a hammer through the socket and can be withdrawn by the use of a screwdriver.
