ABSTRACT:
A bracket has three rigid sides, at least two of the sides having equal length. Each of the three sides has ends lying in a plane defined by a longitudinal axis between the ends and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The sides are rigidly connected so that an equilateral or isosceles triangle is formed in a cross-sectional plane taken through the longitudinal axes of the three sides. The transverse axes of the three sides each independently form an angle of from about 50° to about 60° with the cross-sectional plane and meet at a common point not on the cross-sectional plane. One or more of the three sides have mounting points located on the longitudinal axis. Such a bracket can support a variety of different support structures (e.g. shelves, hanger bars and storage bins) on a surface, or reinforce a corner of a variety of different structures (e.g. boxes or walls).
