Abstract: A multipurpose bracket includes two legs disposed substantially perpendicular to each other. The legs may be directly connected or may be joined by an intermediate connecting portion. Such connecting portion may be flat and inclined relative to the two legs or may be arcuate and disposed convexly towards the free ends of the legs. One leg has spaced keyhole apertures for demountably securing the bracket to a wall, fence, or door and a band-receiving slot located between such apertures and extending transversely of such leg. The other leg may also have spaced keyhole apertures. Such brackets can be used, for example, as supports for shelves, fishing poles, skis, or lumber; as hangers for ladders, hoses, clothes, or hanging baskets; or as shoe scrapers. The transverse slots receive bands or straps for securing or embracing articles supported by the brackets.
