Abstract

A system for mounting a structural member upon a vertical wall, the vertical wall supporting a planar mounting board having a back surface appended to the vertical wall and a front surface facing away from the vertical wall. The front surface of the mounting board is provided with a plurality of horizontally extending grooves, each of the grooves having a channel opening at the front surface of the planar mounting board and a flared cut out region extending within the planar mounting board extending from each of the channel openings. The structural members are provided with at least one vertical surface for mounting upon the planar mounting board and includes at least one hook-shaped bracket sized to fit within a first one of the horizontally extending grooves only upon rotating the structural member diagonally with respect to the planar mounting board and at least one straight bracket sized and positioned upon the at least one vertical surface to extend within a second one of the horizontally extending grooves after the hook-shaped bracket has been inserted within the first one of the horizontally extending grooves and the structural member has been rotated to assume a vertical orientation against the planar mounting board.

1 . A system for mounting a structural member upon a vertical wall, said vertical wall supporting a planar mounting board having a back surface appended to said vertical wall and a front surface spaced away from said vertical wall, said front surface having a plurality of horizontally extending grooves, each of said grooves having a channel opening at the front surface of said planar mounting board and a flared cut out region extending within said planar mounting board extending from each of said channel openings, a structural member having at least one vertical surface for mounting upon said planar mounting board, at least one hook-shaped bracket sized to fit within a first one of said horizontally extending grooves only upon rotating said structural member diagonally with respect to said planar mounting board and at least one straight bracket sized and positioned upon said at least one vertical surface to extend within a second one of said horizontally extending grooves after said first hook-shaped bracket has been inserted within said first one of said horizontally extending grooves and said structural member has been rotated to assume a vertical orientation against said planar mounting board.  
   
   
       2 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said structural member comprises a member selected from the group consisting of a shelf, a pedestal, a desk, a cabinet, a pinboard and a veneer.
