ABSTRACT:
A bracket retaining and support structure for cooperative engagement with a wall stud and adapted for receipt in passageways disposed thereon of the hook ends of support brackets for shelves or the like. The bracket support structure includes a pair of oppositely disposed elongate extruded metal members having respective matingly engageable tongue and groove portions to enable assembly of the channel members together to form the support structure. An elongate metal bar provided with said passageways along the length thereof is retained by said support structure in a slot formed between said channel members; a pair of closely spaced forwardly extending flanges on the channel members form an entranceway in the support structure opening to the passageways on the metal bar to permit insertion of the hook ends of the support brackets within the passageways. In one embodiment, the bar has closely-spaced cut-out portions or notches along the elongate edges thereof and the walls of the bar-receiving slot within which the bar is disposed are deformed into the notches to permanently retain the bar within the slot. In another embodiment, the bar is provided with knurling to bite into the walls of the slot upon permanent assembly of the bar therewithin. In further embodiments, the bar is provided with a rolled groove or a plurality of shear-form protruding portions to bite into the walls of the slot for permanent assembly of the bar therewithin.
