ABSTRACT:
An article holder of the invention has a forked shoe and a drawer, the shoe and drawer being coordinated with one another on a wall base, such that the shoe serves as a lid for the drawer, when the drawer is in its in-position. The fork of the shoe extends beyond the drawer in the in-position, so that an article supported in the fork may block movement of the drawer out of the in-position. A special locking structure is provided to close the fork and transmit force to stress the fork legs uniformly in tension. The wall base is equipped with a special mounting system comprised of a pocket, which grasps a fastener head of a first fastener shank in a slot adjoining its opening, and a hole through a second fastener may be driven, once the head of the first fastener is grasped. The wall base may have a silhouette suggesting a type of article which may be supported in the holder. A bottom base may be included as part of the holder, to carry the weight of an article supported in the holder, in which case, the fork simply provides lateral support for the article.
