  • Patent number: 4121800
    Abstract: The bracket is designed to support a drinking water container either to the underside of a cabinet or to the side wall of the cabinet in a convenient position for dispensing water from the container into a drinking glass. The bracket itself is made up of two plate members and a cooperating rod. The arrangement is such that a first one of the plate members may be secured directly to the underside of a cabinet to support a drinking container at this location. Alternatively, the first plate member may be secured to the side wall of a cabinet by way of the second plate member for supporting the drinking container in this particular location. In either location, the cooperating rod member is arranged to pass over the top of the handle of the container supported in the first plate member to secure or lock the container to the bracket and thus avoid accidental dislodgement.

  • Patent number: 4101108
    Abstract: A shelf clip of a unitary metallic construction for securely positioning a shelf on a shelving unit and usable in a back-to-back relationship with a like clip in an interfitted relationship. Upper and lower ends on an attachment flange of a body of the clip include a support hook and a downwardly extending positioning tang located on one side of a lateral center between the attachment flange sides so as to permit the interfitted relationship of the clips in their back-to-back relationship. A support flange extends horizontally from the lower end of the attachment flange with the positioning tang struck therefrom and includes an end that projects upwardly in a slightly inclined orientation. Cooperation between a dimple formed in the attachment flange and the inclined support flange end securely positions the shelf with respect to the clip while cooperation of the support hook and the positioning tang positions the clip with respect to the shelving unit.

  • Patent number: 3982719
    Abstract: A hanger for pictures or the like is disclosed as having an upper suspension point and a pair of lower wire receiving hooks for receiving a laterally extending wire on a picture to be hung. The hanger includes an aperture at the upper suspension point for receiving a nail or the like which suspends the hanger on a wall. The wire receiving hooks are spaced laterally on opposite sides of the aperture the same lateral distance. Pivoting of the hanger during its suspension levels the hooks with each other. The lateral spacing of the hooks supports the picture wire so as to prevent pivoting of the picture about the hanger. The hanger preferably has an inverted Y shape whose upper leg defines the suspension aperture and whose lower two legs define the wire receiving hooks. The hanger is made from a metallic body and is stamped to form the hooks and reinforcing ribs in each leg as well as projections that engage the wall to prevent pivoting of the hanger about its suspension point.
