Abstract
A support bracket for supporting in a cantilever fashion a glass or marble shelf has a laterally oriented throat to receive the rear portion of a shelf panel and an adjustment screw extending from the throat bottom to bias the shelf rear portion into restraining engagement with a support surface on the throat top. Cushioning means are provided in association with the adjustment screw to distribute the biasing force of the screw uniformly over an area of the shelf surface. In some embodiments the cushioning means is a separate resilient member between the screw and a shelf and in other embodiments the screw is made of a polymeric material to provide the cushioning means.
