Abstract:
A support bracket for securement to a vertically extending wall stud and providing cantilevered support of a horizontally disposed shelf unit, the support bracket incorporating a support arm and a vertically movable stud gripping mechanism, the mechanism including a pair of side plates that are laterally adjustable for movement and securing connection where desired onto studs of differing widths. The support arm is longitudinally elongate and includes support webs on each side for supporting an opposite end of a shelf, the webs including linear spacers and apertures for positioning and enabling securement of a shelf end to the bracket. Multiple pairs of support brackets enable a succession of shelf units to be assembled into side-by-side relation on respective studs to form a substantially continuous elongated horizontal surface.

Claim (Index 12):
A shelving and scaffolding assembly, comprising:\n a pair of wall studs, said wall studs being mounted on a wall in laterally separated relation and disposed in a substantially vertical orientation, each wall stud including a front surface spaced from the wall and first and second side surfaces separated by a specific width; a pair of platform support brackets, said support brackets mounted in cantilever fashion onto one and the other respective wall stud, each support bracket comprising: a longitudinally extending support beam, each beam having first and second ends, and an adjustable connection mechanism attached to the first end to connect the support beam to a wall stud, the connection mechanism including first and second L-shaped flanges disposed in nested relation and forming a U-shaped channel member, the first L-shaped flange including a base plate fixedly attached to the first end of the support beam and a side plate adapted to engage one side surface of the wall stud, the second L-shaped flange including a base plate movably disposed against the base plate of the first flange and adapted to move towards and away from the base plate of the first L-shaped flange and move the side plates into gripping engagement with the side surfaces of the wall stud, and a securement arrangement for fixedly securing the base plates together and against movement; and a fastening arrangement to fixedly attach the U-shaped channel member of the bracket to the respective wall stud, and a planar scaffold platform connected to and extending horizontally between the support beams.
