Bend or break shelf support

Claim 1

A shelf-support system of modular construction comprising a plurality of serially connected bracket members, said bracket members comprising substantially planar structures having an L-shaped cross-section, said bracket members further comprising a longer, plate-like vertical support member, said vertical support member integral at the top horizontal edge thereof with a horizontally extending longitudinally extending shelf-support member, said shelf-support member tapered toward its outer end to define a substantially triangular shape, and a flexible, severable connector portion located intermediate said bracket members and integral with the vertical edges of said vertical members whereby each of said brackets is detachably attached in flexible fashion to form a longitudinally extended support structure, and said system is adapted to bend to a 90-degree angle with respect to itself to provide support to a shelf member at the junction of two walls by the flexure of said connector between said segments, and said system is selectively severable to a desired longitudinal extension by the fracture of said connector portion.
