ABSTRACT:
A shelf or hanger mounting bracket which comprises an inner bracket body having one end provided with projections configured for locking engagement with vertically extending slits in a wall-mounted upright mounting rail and an ornamental outer sleeve comprising a locking system enabling the sleeve to be continuously adjustable over a range of positions so that it can be adjusted to lie flush with the mounting wall. The locking system employs a latching member pivotally mounted on the forward end of the inner bracket body having a locking end slantingly engaging the confronting interior wall surface of the sleeve so that forward retracting movement of the sleeve cannot occur as long as the locking end is held in contact with this sleeve surface. Slipping rearward movement towards the wall readily occurs. In the preferred form of the invention the latching member has a release end extending forwardly of the pivot and having sufficient weight that the locking end is continually forced into engagement with the sleeve inner surface. An aperture in the bottom of the sleeve permits insertion of a pencil or similar object to bear against the release end so as to raise it, thereby rotating the locking end out of engagement, permitting limited withdrawal of the sleeve so that the bracket assembly can be removed from the mounting rail.
