I’ve got a shelf for a living room set that I bought third hand in Germany. I want to hang this shelf, but its got strange brackets and I don’t know what they’re called to look for the respective hardware that actually goes on the wall.
Unsure if this post fits in this community, so I’m sorry in advance if it doesn’t 🙏 It’s driving me crazy that I can’t figure it out
Edit: for reference, the screw on the right is the upward/top side of the shelf
It’s called a j-hook bracket, but I couldn’t find that exact one.
I’ll also add this to my google search, thank you!
Thinking about this, and how I would ask someone how it works (it’s on the underside of the shelf and has a J-shape with some kind of set-screw) makes me think this is meant to mount on two horizontal rails, one at the back of the shelf and one at the front. The rails would likely stretch across a large gap in the cabinet and be rod or bar shaped. To mount the shelf you probably hook it on one rail, drop it down and then use the set screw to lock it in place so it can’t slide back and forth.
That would be the best description, and sorry for the confusing reference. Just wanted to try and give perspective on orientation without taking another picture. Definitely laziness on my part
They look like they’d clinch onto a horizontal rail system. Clinch bracket? U - Bracket?
I’ll add it to my google searches, thank you!
Beat me to it!
That “for reference” is very confusing…
Topwise. TOPWISE!
This isn’t quite what you’re looking for, but it feels like it’s on the right track, at least
Interlocking wall mounting brackets feels like a good place to start 🤷♂️
That does look like a great place to start, thank you!
