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.

A fastener includes a screw structure having threads and a dowel structure. The dowel structure includes a shank extending from the screw structure in an axial direction and connected to the screw structure, and a head engaged to the shank portion and disposed distally from the screw structure. A length of the dowel structure is greater than or equal to a length of the screw structure.

A combined storage shelf is provided, including double-bracing side racks, connection and combination fasteners, storage layers, and beam structures. Each of the double-bracing side racks includes a first upright rod, a second upright rod, and horizontal rods. Each of the connection and combination fasteners includes a body portion, two side portions, fitting grooves, and fastening structures. The storage layers are disposed in the beam structures. Each of the beam structures includes a beam member and beam connection and combination fasteners. Each of the beam connection and combination fasteners includes beam fastening structures. Each of the beam fastening structures is snapped into a fastening structure, so that the beam structures are connected to the connection and combination fasteners.

A support assembly that includes a structural member that is delimited by a first end and a second end with a first end cap configured to be at least partially disposed within the first end of the structural member and a second end cap configured to be at least partially disposed within the second end of the structural member to mount the structural member to a structure. The support assembly allows for forces to be applied in all directions without causing rotation or disengagement of the support assembly from a mounting structure.

A shelf-supporting device for the reversible connection of a shelf with shoulders of a piece of furniture includes a main body having a movable engagement system, to which a pin is connected. The movable engagement system slides with respect to the main body between a first non-operating position, in which the pin does not protrude from the shelf, and a second operating position, in which the pin protrudes outwardly from a transverse edge of the shelf. The movable engagement system has two distinct parts, coupled together, and the connection between the slide and the pin may be an interference coupling, a shape coupling, or another type of coupling. This shelf-supporting device makes it possible to miniaturize the pin by drastically reducing its diameter, thus improving the aesthetic impact of the housing hole in the shoulders, and may be made modular by using pins of different diameters and materials.

A bracket for a floating shelf comprises a solid plate with a planar back side to abut to a wall. A plurality of circular apertures extends through the solid plate and have internal screw threads. A plurality of rods is secured to the solid plate and extending therefrom, with each rod having a proximal end received within a different one of the plurality of circular apertures. The plurality of rods has external screw threads on the proximal end mating with a respective internal screw thread of respective circular apertures. The proximal ends of the plurality of rods are flush with the planar back side of the solid plate and the wail.

The invention relates to a retaining clip for securing a wall element of an item of furniture to a furniture structure, the retaining clip including a securing section and a stop section which is configured to abut a first structural element of the furniture structure. The retaining clip further includes a clip section which is configured to be resiliently moved between an insertion position permitting the insertion of the wall element into the furniture structure and a retaining position engaging behind a second structural element of the furniture structure.

A shelf and slideable mount, which is made up of, but not necessarily limited to, the following components: (1) a mount which features anchor nail platforms and/or holes which accommodate screws, and angled sides, and (2) a shelf which features a horizontal plane and a vertical cover portion which slides over the mount.
