A shelf for attachment to the bedposts of wooden or metal bunk beds, although it may also be attached to the headboards of these type beds. The shelf is best molded of a plastic such as ABS, including an integrally molded perpendicular mounting angle frame for attachment to a clamping device also of plastic. The shelf surface may have a hole, groove or depression for supporting a cup, beverage can, writing instrument or such. Adequate space on the surface is provided to support a small radio, clock or book of minimal weight. The shelf attachment device includes plastic clamps located within channels of the mounting angle frame. Bolts with locking knobs allow tightening of the clamps in position against the bedpost.

1. A device for attachment to a bedpost for holding items thereon comprising: a shelf; said shelf including at least one support rib; said shelf and said at least one support rib forming at one end thereof a mounting angle frame extending substantially perpendicular to said shelf at said one end; said shelf, said mounting angle frame, and said at least one support rib being of one integrated, molded piece; said mounting angle frame including channels; said mounting angle frame further including at least one slot therein for slidably receiving an adjustment bolt; an adjustment bolt slidably received in each said slot; a pair of slidable clamping angles adapted for insertion into said mounting angle frame channels; whereby said integrated molded piece, including said at least said one support rib and mounting angle frame, is placed adjacent said bedpost so that said mounting angle frame abuts said bedpost such that said adjustment bolt in said slot acts to tighten said clamping angles against said bedpost. 2. The shelf of claim 1 whose outward facing end is rounded to prevent injury, and having a hole in the surface thereof for holding a glass, cup or beverage container for preventing spillage therefrom in the event of being shaken, and having a groove in the surface thereof for preventing a writing instrument therein from falling off.3. The shelf, said rib, and said mounting frame of claim 1 being of one integrated piece molded of a suitable thermoplastic resin and being capable of placement up and down on said bedpost, and capable of placement back and forth on a head board.4. The device of claim 1 further comprising protective pads attached to said slidable clamping angles and said mounting angle frame for preventing damage to the bedpost.5. The device of claim 1 wherein each adjustment bolt is further provided a captive holder located on said clamping angle and a locking knob; each said bolt having a hex head and male threaded shaft; each said locking knob having a female threaded portion; said hex head adapted for locking into said captive holder of each of said clamping angles while said bolt threaded shaft goes through said slot into the female threaded portion of said locking knob for tightening said clamping angles against the bedpost. 6. A device of the type adapted to support items and to be adjustably attached to and removed from a post, including a shelf having a substantially flat upper surface and an underside, the improvement comprising: said shelf including at least one support rib located at said underside and extending along said underside toward one end of said shelf; said rib and said shelf forming at said one end thereof an angle frame; said shelf and said at least one support rib being of one integrated piece molded to also include said angle frame; said angle frame further including clamps slidably attached thereto for adjustment relative to said post; said clamps include moveable adjustment elements adapted to tighten said clamps against said post; whereby placement of said shelf in a desired position relative to said post and adjusting said elements to tighten said clamps in association with said angle frame serves to tightly mount said table to said post. 7. The shelf of claim 6, including said support rib and said angle frame, comprises one integrated piece molded of a thermoplastic resin.8. The shelf of claim 7, wherein said adjustment elements comprise threaded bolts with heads; said angle frame includes slots arranged to permit the passage of said bolts therethrough; said clamps include captive holders for the heads of said bolts; further including locking knobs adapted to engage said bolts; whereby turning of said locking knobs serves to tighten or loosen said clamps in a position against said post. 9. The shelf of claim 6, wherein the flat upper surface of said shelf includes a hole for holding an article.10. The shelf of claim 6, wherein the fl at upper surface of said shelf includes a groove for retaining an article.11. The device of claim 6, wherein said shelf includes multiple support ribs located at said shelf underside and extending along said shelf underside toward one end of said shelf; said ribs and said shelf forming at said one end an angle frame; said shelf and said multiple support ribs being of one integrated piece molded to also include said angle frame. 12. The device of claim 6 further including protective pads attached to said clamps and said angle frame for preventing damage to said post.13. A shelf of the type adapted to be removably attached to a support so as to hold items thereon, the improvement comprising: said shelf having an upper surface and an underside; said shelf further including at one end thereof an angle frame integrally molded therewith; said angle frame further including clamps slidably attached thereto for adjustment relative to said post; said clamps include moveable adjustment elements adapted to tighten said clamps in position against said support; whereby placement of said shelf in a desired position relative to said support and adjusting said elements to tighten said clamps in association with said angle frame serves to tightly mount said table to said support. 14. The shelf of claim 13, including said support rib and said angle frame, comprises one integrated piece molded of a thermoplastic resin.15. The shelf of claim 13, wherein said adjustment elements comprise threaded bolts with heads; said angle frame includes slots arranged to permit the passage of said bolts therethrough; said clamps include captive holders for the heads of said bolts; further including locking knobs adapted to engage said bolts; whereby turning of said locking knobs serves to tighten or loosen said clamps in a position against said support. 16. The shelf of claim 13, wherein the flat upper surface of said shelf includes a hole for holding an item.17. The shelf of claim 13, wherein the flat upper surface of said shelf includes a groove for retaining an item.18. The device of claim 13, wherein said shelf includes multiple support ribs located at said shelf underside and extending along said shelf underside toward one end of said shelf; said ribs and said shelf forming at said one end an angle frame; said shelf and said multiple support ribs being of one integrated piece molded to also include said angle frame. 19. The device of claim 13 further including protective pads attached to said clamps and said angle frame for preventing damage to said support.20. The device of claim 13 wherein said support is a bedpost.
