US Patent 9532122 TV shelf with speakers

The present invention is a wall mounted shelf that is capable of holding a heavy flat-panel television set and associated accessories. The shelf is hollow and contains speakers mounted within the hollow interior of the shelf to provide enhanced sound production for the television. The shelf mounts on a mounting bracket that attaches to the wall's studs via screws and that is completely concealed by the shelf. The mounting bracket has vertical bracing that engages the wall to prevent sagging of the shelf and horizontal pipes that insert into pipe receivers provided within the hollow shelf to provide additional support for the shelf.
