Patent number: 9655443Abstract: An adjustable locking shelf support system for use in a medicine cabinet or other cabinet. The adjustable shelf support members have set-off lugs which are inserted and locked into slots in a recessed race located in the vertical walls of the cabinet. The front portion of the adjustable locking shelf support member protrudes into the cabinet toward the front has a channel that, together with the cooperating adjustable locking shelf support member located on the opposite side vertical wall of the cabinet, accepts a shelf made of glass or other material. The adjustable shelf support members can be removed and replaced throughout the cabinet in other slots evenly spaced in a vertical orientation in the recessed race of the vertical walls of the cabinet.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: American Glasscrafters, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Fernando Cano, Michael Balagyozyan
