DESCRlPTlON-OFTHE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT The bracket construction 11 is adapted to be mounted on a wall 12 and is utilized for securing cabincts such as cabinet 13 to the wall. The wall 12 can be of any conventional type, as for example, as shown on the drawings it can consist of spaced parallel vertical studs 14 to which there has been secured plaster board 16 in a conventional manner. The plaster board 16 provides an outer wall surface 17 which is generally planar and extends in a vertical direction.
The bracket construction 11 consists of a relatively rigid plate or member 21 and an additional rigid member 22. Both the members 21 and 22 can be formed of suitable materials. For example, the member 21 can be formed of steel whereas the member 22 can be formed of plywood, Masonite or other materials of which cabinets are made. As hereinafter described, it is preferable that the member 22 form the rear wall of the cabinet 13 which is to be mounted upon the wall 12.
Each of the members 21 and 22 has two slots which are formed therein, with the slots in one of the members being inclined at an angle with respect to the slots in the other of the members. drawing, the member 21 is provided with twoslots 23 which are in axial alignment and which extend in a gen erally horizontal direction when the member 22 is secured to a wall. The slots 23 are of substantial length and preferably are of such a length so they extend over at least one-half of the member 22 but to a'distance which does not impair the structural rigidity of the member 21.
The member 21 can have any desired shape, as for example, the rectangular configuration shown in FIG. 2 and should have a length which is greater than the spacing between two adjacent studs 14. The member 21 is provided with front and rear surfaces 24 and 26. The member 21 is also provided with a recess 27 which is formed by a U-shaped portion extending longitudinally of the member 21 and spaced equi-distant between the upper and lower extremities thereof. The member 21 is also provided with a plurality of additional smaller slots 28 which are generally spaced over the surfaces 24 and 26 of the member 21. As can be seen, particularly in FIG. 2, the slots 28 extend in two rows with two rows above and two rows below the two slots 23 in such a manner that the slots in one row of each of the two rows are staggered with respect to the slots in the other row. The member 22 is also formed with open ended slots 29 provided in opposite ends of the member 21. The member 21 is adapted to be secured to the wall 12 by suitable means such as screws 31 which extend through the slots 28 to removably secure the member 21 to the studs 14.
As also shown on the drawing, the member 22 is provided with a pair of slots 32. The slots 32 are inclined at an angle with respect to the horizontal and also with respect to the vertical. By way of example, the slots can be inclined at an angle of 20 from the horizontal and if desired can have an angle ranging between 10 and 30 from the horizontal. In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the slots 32 are inclined upwardly and in an outward direction. The slots 32 and the member 22 and the slots 23 and the member 22 have the same gen- Thus, as shown in the eral positions and spacing between them with the principal difference being that the slots 32 are inclined at an angle with respect to the slots 23. The slots 23 and the slots 32 also have approximately the same width and length.
As canbe seen from FIG. 1, the member 22 serves as a rear wall for the cabinetl3 which includes spaced parallel side walls 36 and 37,'top and bottom walls 38 and 39 and a front wall formed by a pair of hinged side swinging doors 41. The cabinet is constructed in such a manner that the rear wall formed by the member 22 is slightly recessed with respect to the rearmost extremities of the side walls 36 and 37 and the top and bottom walls 38 and 39 to accommodate the bracket construction which is utilized for mounting the cabinet.
Releasable securing means which is adapted to extend through the slots 23 and 32 of the members 21 and 22 is provided for securing the additional member 22 to the first-named member 21. This releasable securing means consists of a pair of screws 43 each of which is provided with generally flat rounded head portions 43a which is offset slightly from the center of the threaded stem portion 43b of the screw. The screw is also provided with outwardly extending ear-like portions 43c underlying the head portion 43a and being formed integral with the head portion 43a and the stem portion 43b. The heads of the screws are adapted to seat within the recess 27 provided in the member 21 and extend through the slots 23. When the member 21 is secured to a wall as shown in FIG. 1, the screws 43 are retained between the member 21 and the wall and are held in position. They are prevented from turning in the slots 23 by the ear portions 43c. The screws are also adapted to extend through the slots 32 of the member 22 of the cabinet. A washer 44 formed of a suitable resilient material such as foam rubber is adapted to be mounted upon each of the screws 43 between the member 21 and the member 22. The releasable securing means also includes means in the form of wing nuts 46 and washers 47. The cabinet can be readily held in place by screwing the wing nuts 46 onto the screws 43. 1
Use of the bracket construction for the mounting of wall cabinets may nowbe briefly described as follows. Let it be assumed that it is desired to mount a plurality of cabinets at the same height from the ceiling or floor ofa room and in a row. This is accomplished by the installer by first generally ascertaining the positions for the brackets which are to be utilized for mounting the cabinets. The installer first marks the approximate positions for members 21 of the bracket construction for mounting upon the wall. The installer then without great precision can readily secure the members 21 to the wall by suitable means such as screws 31. After the members 21 are firmly secured, the first cabinet is hung on the wall by removing the wing nuts 46 and the washers 47 from the screws 43 and positioning the cabinet so that the screws43 extent through the slots 32. The washers 47 and the wing nuts 46 are then placed on the screw so that the cabinet 13 is held in the general desired position. Therefore, the cabinets can be precisely positioned in the desired location by shifting the screws in the slots 23 and 32 in a horizontal direction and making it possible to precisely position the cabinet in a horizontal direction. At the same time,.the cabinet can be shifted vertically as permitted by the inclined slots 32 so that the cabinet is in the desired vertical location.
After the cabinet has been positioned vertically and horizontally, the wing nuts 47 are tightened to firmly hold the cabinet in place lt will be noted as shown particularly in FIG. 5 that the bracket construction is re cessed in the space provided behind the cabinet and for this reason it is possible to mount the cabinets flush to the wall with the rear extremities of the side walls 36 and 37 and the top and bottom walls 38 and 39 being flush with the wall. In the event that the wall surface 17 is not exactly planar, the mounting provided by the bracket construction including the resilient washers 44 provides in general a three-point mounting for the cabinet in which the bracketconstruction serves as one point and two of the walls serve as two of the other points.
In this manner it can be seen that it is unnecessary for the installer to precisely position the member 21. It is only necessary that it be positioned in the general location and then the desired precise positioning for the cabinet can be obtained by shifting the cabinet relative to the member 21 to the desired position in two directions at right angles to each other as permitted by the slots 23 and 32 and then fastening the cabinet in the desired place by the wing nuts 46.
With the foregoing bracket construction it can be seen that the height of the cabinet can be varied by the distance between the upper and lower ends of the inclined slots provided in the additional member. By way of example, one-half inch should be more than adequate to give more than adequate leeway to the mounting of the first-named member on the wall and still permitting the cabinets to be all aligned in a row on a wall of a room.
As soon as one cabinet in a row of cabinets has been installed, the other cabinets can be readily positioned in the same manner by the utilization of a level using the first installed cabinet as a reference. In this way, it is possible to provide a perfectly aligned row of cabinets with very little effort.
Although the bracket construction has been described for use in connection with the mounting of cabinets, it is readily apparent that if desired other items can be mounted on walls by use of such a bracket construction.
It is also apparent from the foregoing that there'has been provided a bracket construction which makes it very easy for the installer to. install cabinets on the walls without the necessity for precisely mounting the mounting plates or brackes which are utilized for securing the cabinets to the wall. The bracket construction is very neat in appearance and is concealed from view of the user. The bracket construction also makes it possible to readily remove the cabinets from the wall if they are no longer desired. The bracket construction also facilitates rearrangement or exchange of cabinets from one cabinet hanging space to another.
