Patent attributes
The present disclosure provides various examples of a universal mounting bracket for mounting a floating shelf to a flat vertical surface such as a wall. The bracket assembly allows for installing the bracket with a single selected fastener. This is more efficient and allows for the bracket to be installed in the widest variety of vertical assemblies with the most strength possible. The bracket can be installed into a stud wall, hollow drywall space, solid masonry wall, a hollow masonry wall unit, a brick wall, a cinderblock wall, a reinforced masonry wall, a plaster wall, a steel wall assembly or support structure, and any other vertical assembly so long as there is a satisfactory fastener for that assembly. Alternatively, the universal mounting bracket provides a mechanism that facilitates its use as a hook for a multitude of purposes.
