Abstract:
1. A bracket assembly for attachment to a wall stud for use in conjunction with one or more additional similar brackets to create a support for receiving a board thereon and creating a work surface, the bracket assembly comprising: a support arm adapted to receive the board thereon, the support arm having a support arm proximal end and a support arm distal end; an elongated strut, the elongated strut having an elongated strut proximal end and an elongated strut distal end, the elongated strut distal end being pivotally attached to the support arm proximate the support arm distal end; a first S-shaped bracket, the first S-shaped bracket being pivotally attached to the support arm near the support arm proximal end, the first S-shaped bracket being configured to form a C-shaped recess facing generally towards the support arm; and a second S-shaped bracket, the second S-shaped bracket being pivotally attached to the elongated strut near the elongated strut proximal end, the second S-shaped bracket being configured to form a C-shaped recess facing generally away from the elongated strut; wherein the first S-shaped bracket and the second S-shaped bracket are configured to frictionally and removably secure the assembly to the wall stud; wherein each of the first and second S-shaped brackets comprises (i) a substantially planer body portion having first and second edges, (ii) a substantially planer first leg portion extending orthogonally from the body portion at the first edge, and (iii) a substantially planer second leg portion extending orthogonally from the body portion at the second edge in substantially an opposite direction as the first leg portion.
