Abstract

See full text

An adapter for enabling a vertical slotted standard in the form of a steel bar to be mounted to a pair of back-to-back assembled sheet metal channel-shaped studs in a wall, the adapter being disposed within the wall and hidden from the exterior of the wall. The exterior covering of the wall comprises aligned adjacent wallboard members whose vertical adjacent edges engage against a pair of forwardly extending entrance flanges for receiving therein the shelf-supporting hooked end brackets which enter and engage within the slots of the standard. The wallboard members are secured to the studs with the same fasteners that connect a pair of wallboard-receiving wings of the adapter to the studs. The invention is concerned with means for anchoring the standard within the adapter and a method of effecting such anchoring during the assembly of the adapter.
