Abstract

See full text

A bracket for properly positioning and preferably preventing the tipping of an appliance includes first and second, generally perpendicular legs extending from a central bracket portion, with the first leg being longer than the second leg. Each of the legs is provided with a slot extending to a terminal end thereof and is defined by side flanges which are interconnected by a raised connecting portion. Apertures are provided in the side flanges for use in securing the bracket to a supporting surface or an upstanding wall. In addition, the central portion includes a recess formed with holes for use in toe nailing or screwing the bracket in place. The bracket is adapted to be secured in place with a selected one of the legs extending along the supporting surface in order that a support leg of an appliance can be slid beneath and retained by the bracket.
