ABSTRACT:
A portable hanging shelf system is disclosed wherein one or more shelves are suspended in a horizontal position from generally vertical objects of varying diameter. A non-elastic flexible fabric belt encircles generally vertical objects of varying diameters, such as a tree trunk, and an adjustable lever-type buckle on the belt releasably grips and applies tension in the encircled portion of the belt to firmly secure a pair of brackets to the curved surface of the vertical object. A cord is connected to each bracket and forms a loop which receives one or more flat rectangular shelves. The cords pass through slots at the opposed ends of each shelf and the shelves are secured in an adjustable horizontal position at the desired height above the ground by a cord lock or by passing the cord through additional slots. Because the top ends of the cords are very close to the vertical object, when weight is placed on the shelf, the center of gravity of the shelf is spaced horizontally outward from its point of suspension and the resultant weight force causes the shelf to press firmly inward against the vertical object. All the components can be stored in a compact configuration and are easily transported in a backpack. The portable shelf system eliminates the need for nails or screws to be driven into trees and is particularly useful for campers and backpackers.
