Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an appliance support such as for example for supporting kitchen appliances, such as microwaves. This is by way of example only. The support includes an elongate brace member, which is adapted for attachment to a wall or similar surface. The elongate brace member includes an attachment plate and an outwardly extending support flange. At least two substantially "L" shaped support members are provided. These include an elongate and substantially upright portion and an outwardly extending base or foot portion. The support members are so formed and are attachable to the brace member, so that they extend outwardly from and below the brace member. The outwardly extending support flange of the brace member and at least an upper portion of the upright portion of each support member, are so formed and adapted relative to each other that the position of the support members is adjustable relative to each other and to the brace member.
