Abstract
Abstract A bracket assembly comprising front and back plates of particular shape which are adjustably connected to each other at points adjacent their ends. The front plate has a recessed section and the back plate has a projecting section, the two sections, on tightening, gripping a support element or member therebetween. Remaining portions of the assembly provide openings into which bent rods may be inserted and these openings serve to retain the rods in a swivelable relationship with the rest of the bracket assembly. On further tightening, however, these rods are also gripped so as to prevent swiveling.
