ABSTRACT:
The shelf and support assembly of the present invention utilizes a unique curved-front, wall mounted, ventilated shelving system using one type of bracket with one type of shelf and an optional hang rod assembly to make shelving systems for a linen type shelf system and a wardrobe shelf system. The shelf is removably mounted to a pair of shelf support brackets which support the shelf in a horizontal plane when the support brackets are secured to an associated wall. The shelving system is unique in that the shelf includes a plurality of transverse members which are removably and securely snapped into place via a friction fit within a plurality of transverse slots formed into the top surface of the brackets. No additional hardware is needed to hold the shelf in position. A hang rod adapter is formed having a sleeve which slidingly supports a hang rod. The support bracket is formed having a longitudinal groove for cooperative engagement with the hang rod adaptor to support a rod and form a wardrobe shelf assembly. The shelf and rod shelf system is assembled by simply placing the hang rod adapter insert into the front of each bracket. The shelf is then snapped into place in cooperative engagement with the support brackets, holding the hang rod adapter within the support bracket.
