Primary Examiner: Friedman; Carl D.
Assistant Examiner: Nguyen; Kien T.
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Lowe, Price, LeBlanc & Becker
A preassembled attic shelf unit includes a pair of shelf support members connected to each other with wooden connectors so that outward facing surfaces of the support units are engageable with portions of adjacent roof trusses located on fixed centers. Each shelf support member may be rectangular wooden stock material formed with an elongate rectangular groove in an inward facing surface thereof so that the opposing grooves respectively receive longitudinal edges of the shelf in sliding supporting engagement. Nails may be utilized to fasten the shelf supporting members directly to the portions of the trusses such as web member portions interconnecting top and bottom chord members of the trusses together. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
An attic having a shelf and a supporting system therefor, comprising: (a) a plurality of roof trusses generally equispaced from each other along supporting beams on predetermined centers, each truss including: (i) top chord members connected together to define roof rafters, (ii) bottom chord members connected together to define attic floor joists, said floor joists being connected to said rafters to define a predetermined and truss configuration; and (iii) at least one web member interconnecting the top and bottom chords together; (b) a shelf; and (c) means, secured to said at least one web member, for mounting said shelf to the web member of adjacent trusses at a predetermined elevation in relation to the floor joists.
2.
The attic shelf of claim 1, wherein said shelf is slidably supported on the mounting means.
3.
The attic shelf of claim 1, wherein said mounting means includes a pair of shelf support members and means for interconnecting said shelf support members to each other.
4.
The attic shelf of claim 3, where said shelf support members extend generally parallel to each other and respectively include outwardly directed fastening surfaces which are spaced a predetermined distance from each other through said interconnecting means so as to be respectively engageable with an inwardly directed engagement surface of the web members.
5.
The attic of claim 4, wherein each shelf support member includes an elongated mounting bracket having a vertically extending first portion and a horizontally extending second portion attached to the first portion at right angles to each other, said shelf having longitudinal edges resting on upwardly directed surfaces of said second portions which project inwardly from the first portions.
6.
The attic shelf of claim 5, wherein said second portions slidably support the shelf.
7.
The attic shelf of claim 5, wherein said interconnecting means includes connecting members secured, at opposite ends thereof, to the second portions below the upwardly directed support surfaces thereof
