Abstract
A bracket for mounting a cassettebox that includes a flat substantially thin rectangular plate member attachable to a table, shelf or other like surface. Integrally formed on the flat plate member are alignment and locking elements formed along the side edges of the flat plate member for positioning a flat plate member of another bracket in side engaging alignment thereto, so that cassetteboxes mounted on adjacent brackets are aligned with each other in side-by-side relationship. In addition, there are provided male beveled side edges integrally formed along the front portion of the flat plate member for insertion into female dovetail grooves formed along the bottom side edges of the cassettebox. Flanges are formed along the non-beveled rear portions of the side edges of the flat plate member for aligning engagement with and positioning thereon track members formed along bottom side edges of the cassettebox that is to be mounted onto the bracket. At least one female notch is formed in the front edge of the flat plate member for engagement with at least one male nodule formed at the front bottom edge of the cassettebox that is to be connected to the bracket. All of the above elements can be formed of a single piece of molded material to provide an inexpensive mass-produced mounting bracket of a simple and small configuration, but one that is versatile and ensures a proper mounting function for the cassettebox.
