Abstract:
A support system for a temporary work surface adapted for attachment to a plurality of wall studs at a construction site comprising:a plurality of elongated linear arms adapted for removable cantilevered attachment to exposed vertical wall studs, with said arms extending outwardly from first sides of said studs,an associated mounting bracket for each such elongated linear arm, each bracket being adapted for engagement with a wall stud, each said bracket having a generally C-shaped configuration adapted to contain said stud on at least three sides, each said C-shaped configuration including a first side and a second side adapted to engage, respectively, said first side and an opposed second side of a selected wall stud, said first and second sides each having a number of aligned openings therein, said arms each extending outwardly from said first side of its associated bracket whereby, due to the force of gravity, twisting of said brackets against said studs releasably fixes said brackets at a selected vertical location on said stud.
