Abstract

A support bracket comprises a substantially vertical wall, an upper horizontal wall extending substantially transversely to the vertical wall, the upper horizontal wall having a lower surface, and a lower horizontal wall substantially parallel to the upper horizontal wall, the lower horizontal wall having an upper surface. The upper and lower horizontal walls define a space which, in use, receives a shelf to be supported by the upper and lower walls in cantilever fashion. Track means are provided in the lower surface of the upper horizontal wall and the upper surface of the lower horizontal wall. Adjuster insert means are used in cooperation with the track means, the adjuster insert means having a tracking portion which registers with the track means to securely hold the adjuster insert means relative to the upper and lower horizontal walls respectively. The track means comprise a recess with a projection therein dividing the recess into two channeled grooves. The adjuster insert means is rectangular in cross-section, and has a slot along two edges thereof, the slot receiving the projection in the track means.
