ABSTRACT:
A molded unitary support device for mounting to a vertical wall (52) is disclosed. The molded unitary supporting device comprises a horizontal support shelf (10), having a front edge (20) and a back edge (22). Also included is a vertical attaching member (26) which has a front surface (28) and a back surface (30), a left edge (36) and a right edge (38), a lower edge (24) and an upper edge (34). The lower edge (24) of attaching member (26) is permanently molded to back edge (22) of support shelf (10) such that the front surface (28) of the attaching member (26) joins the top surface (12) of the support shelf. Left side member (40) and right side member (42) have a triangular shape with vertical edges (48A) and (48B), horizontal edges (50A) and (50B), and hypotenuse edges (52A) and (52B). These two side members have their vertical edges (48A) and (48B) permanently molded to the left (36) and right (38) edges of attaching member (26) and their horizontal edges (50A) and (50B) permanently molded to the first (16) and second (18) edges of the support shelf (10) such that a molded unitary supporting shelf is provided. The device may then readily be attached to a support wall (54) with attaching means such as screws (60) and (62) which pass through the apertures (56) and (58) into support wall (54). In an alternate embodiment, a strengthening ridge (74) and a trough (76) may be included such that the device is particularly suited for supporting dishwashing racks (80). In still another embodiment, support shelf (10) includes a depression (86) with a drain (88) such that the device may be used as a small hand sink.
