Hinged or swinging overhead garage door shelf brackets

Abstract

Hinged or swinging overhead garage door shelf brackets. A shelf bracket consisting of a cantilever beam extending horizontally when attached to a closed overhead garage door. Near the cantilever extended end is a hole therein. An additional lower bracket extends downward vertically with a hole near the upper end thereof and a small ledge extending horizontally at the lower end thereof. The small ledge extends far enough to support and secure a shelf thereto. A rivet pin inserted in the hole of the extended end of the cantilever beam and through the hole in the upper end of the lower bracket thereby forming one united shelf bracket. As the overhead garage door is opened and the cantilever changes from a horizontal position to a vertical position, the lower bracket of the united shelf bracket swings and remains vertical, therefore an attached shelf remains level.

1 . A shelf bracket consisting of a cantilever beam extending horizontally thereby attached to a closed overhead garage door. Near the cantilever extended end is a hole therein. An additional lower bracket extends downward vertically with a hole near the upper end thereof and a small ledge extending horizontally at the lower end thereof. The small ledge extends far enough to support and secure a shelf thereto. A rivet pin inserted in the hole of the extended end of the cantilever beam and through the hole in the upper end of the lower bracket thereby forming one Hinged or Swinging Overhead Garage Door Shelf Bracket thereafter referred to as a united shelf bracket. As the cantilever beam is moved from a horizontal position to a vertical position, the lower bracket of the united shelf bracket swings and remains vertical, thereby the attached shelf remains level.  
   
   
       2 . A united shelf bracket as in  claim 1  whereas the upper bracket is designed to be manufactured with the lower bracket and joined together with a rivet thereby forming one overhead garage door shelf bracket.  
   
   
       3 . A united shelf bracket as in  claim 1  whereas the lower bracket is designed with a ledge to support and secure a shelf and to be manufactured with the upper bracket and joined together with a rivet thereby forming one overhead garage door shelf bracket.  
   
   
       4 . A united shelf bracket as in  claim 1  whereas the upper bracket and lower bracket designed to be manufactured and joined together with a rivet thereby forming one united shelf bracket, when one bracket is positioned at each shelf end and fastened through the holes in the mounting flange to any single angled surface wherein the function or result is for the shelf to seek to be level and rest in the direction of the gravitational pull.  
   
   
       5 . A united shelf bracket as in  claim 4  wherein the manufactured bracket can be mounted to any raised single angled flat surface by means of fasteners through the holes in the mounting flange to a surface such as: overhead garage doors, vaulted ceilings, cathedral ceilings, under a stairway, porch ceilings, basement ceilings, roof rafters, floor joist, window openings.
