Claim 3

In the cantilever bracket assembly of claim 1 in which said slide member comprises a vertical portion in slideable engagement with said other end and a horizontal support segment resting on said adjustment and stop means.

Claim 4

In the cantilever bracket assembly of claim 1 in which said slide member comprises a support segment resting on said adjustment screw.

Claim 5

In the cantilever bracket assembly of claim 1, in which said elongate means comprises a first member secured at one end to said wall support and a second member telescopically receiving said first member, projecting beyond said first member and providing said free end, said free end being remote from said wall support.

Claim 6

In a support system having a plurality of horizontally spaced elongate cantilever support bracket assemblies each being suspended at one end from a wall support to project horizontally from said wall support, each said support bracket assembly having adjustable securance means at the other end for securing an elongate cornice member thereto, said adjustable securance means comprising vertical ears at said other end, a vertical slide member defining ear receiving slot means and mounted for vertical sliding movement on said ears, screw adjustment means threadingly mounted on said other end and supportingly engaging said vertical slide member to slideably adjust the vertical elevation of said slide member, and connection means on said slide member for securing said adjustable securance means to said cornice member for supporting said cornice member whereby each of said other ends is adapted to support said cornice member along the length of said elongate cornice member.

Claim 7

In a support system having a plurality of horizontally spaced elongate cantilever support bracket assemblies each being suspended at one end from a wall support to project horizontally from said wall support, each said support bracket assembly having adjustable securance means at the other end for securing an elongate cornice member thereto, said adjustable securance means comprising vertical ears at said other end, a vertical slide member defining ear receiving slot means and mounted for vertical sliding movement on said ears, screw adjustment means threadingly mounted on said other end and supportingly engaging said vertical slide member to slideably adjust the vertical elevation of said slide member, and connection means on said slide member for securing said adjustable securance means to said cornice member for supporting said cornice member whereby each of said other ends is adapted to support said cornice member along the length of said elongate cornice member.

Claim 8

In a cantilever bracket assembly adapted to project from a wall support, said bracket assembly comprising an elongate means secured at one end to said wall support and being free at the other end, means at said other end for adjustable securance to a member to be suspended, said mEans comprising a slide member defining slot means, ear means on said other end in slideable engagement with said slot means in said slide member, adjustment and stop means engaging said other end and said slide member for adjustable positioning of said slide member with respect to said other end, and means on said slide member for connecting said member to be suspended thereto, said adjustment and stop means comprising an adjustment screw threadedly secured to said other end, said adjustment screw projecting upwardly for supporting engagement with said slide member for adjusting the elevation of said slide member with respect to said other end, said adjustment and stop means further comprising a removable clip assembly seated on said other end and said adjustment screw having a head in engagement with said slide member.

Claim 9

In a cantilever bracket assembly adapted to project from a wall support, said bracket assembly comprising an elongate means secured at one end to said wall support and being free at the other end, means at said other end for adjustable securance to a member to be suspended, said mEans comprising a slide member defining slot means, ear means on said other end in slideable engagement with said slot means in said slide member, adjustment and stop means engaging said other end and said slide member for adjustable positioning of said slide member with respect to said other end, and means on said slide member for connecting said member to be suspended thereto, said adjustment and stop means comprising an adjustment screw threadedly secured to said other end, said adjustment screw projecting upwardly for supporting engagement with said slide member for adjusting the elevation of said slide member with respect to said other end, said adjustment and stop means further comprising a removable clip assembly seated on said other end and said adjustment screw having a head in engagement with said slide member.

Claim 10

In a support bracket assembly suspendable at one end from a wall support to project horizontally from said wall, said support bracket assembly having adjustable securance means at the other end for securing a cornice member thereto, said adjustable securance means comprising vertical ears at said other end, a vertical slide member defining ear receiving slot means and mounted for vertical sliding movement on said ears, screw adjustment means threadingly mounted on said other end and supportingly engaging said vertical slide member to adjust the elevation of said slide member, and connection means on said slide member for securing said adjustable securance means to said cornice member for supporting said cornice member, said vertical slide member including a horizontal section overlying said screw adjustment means, and the upper end of said screw adjustment means supportingly engaging said horizontal section to adjust the elevation of said slide member.

Claim 11

In a support bracket assembly suspendable at one end from a wall support to project horizontally from said wall, said support bracket assembly having adjustable securance means at the other end for securing a cornice member thereto, said adjustable securance means comprising vertical ears at said other end, a vertical slide member defining ear receiving slot means and mounted for vertical sliding movement on said ears, screw adjustment means threadingly mounted on said other end and supportingly engaging said vertical slide member to adjust the elevation of said slide member, and connection means on said slide member for securing said adjustable securance means to said cornice member for supporting said cornice member, said vertical slide member including a horizontal section overlying said screw adjustment means, and the upper end of said screw adjustment means supportingly engaging said horizontal section to adjust the elevation of said slide member.
