Quick-mount expandable shelf

Abstract

An adjustable length shelf assembly includes two slidably coupled sections whereby the sections are slidably adjusted to contract or expand the overall length of the shelf. The respective sections each have one open end, a closed end, a front side and a bottom side. The assembly can be directly attached to a surface such as the back of a cabinet door, or can be indirectly attached to a mounting plate that provides easy removal and re-installation of the shelf assembly.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An adjustable length quick-mount shelving assembly comprising:
 (1) a body having first and second slidably coupled sections, with each section including an open end, a closed end, a front side and a bottom side, and,   (2) wherein the front side and bottom side tabs of one section defining a channel guiding the linear travel of the other section, and,   (3) at each closed end, an outwardly turned flange possessing an aperture wherein the flanges are 90 degrees relative to the closed end.   
     
     
         2 . The quick-mount shelving assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising a mouting plate for attachment to surface, and wherein the plate possesses a projecting member sized and shaped to reversibly couple to each flange aperture.
