ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a support structure for holding house plants or the like in position to receive optimal sunlight at a window. The structure comprises a pair of elongate support members which rest on the window sill and extend upwardly and inwardly into the room. C-hooks attached to the base of the support members pass over the nosing of the window trim and prevent slippage; cables extend between eyes screwed into the window track and the top of the support members. The support members hold one or more shelves, each of which comprise a plurality of parallel rails extending horizontally between rail holding brackets. The brackets define holes dimensioned to interfit with the support members and to slide therealong. When a load is placed on the rails, vertical slippage of the shelves is prevented by a gripping action exerted by the rail holding brackets on the support members. The structure is both vertically and horizontally adjustable, fits variously sized windows, is easily assembled and disassembled without tools, does not interfere with the operation of the window sash, blinds, shades etc., and can be conveniently stored or transported as a compact collection of dowels or the like.
