Support bracket
Abstract
Abstract A TUBULAR UPRIGHT IS ASSEMBLED WITH A HORIZONTAL SUPPORT MEMBER OR SILL BY A U-SHAPED SUPPORT BRACKET HAVING ITS LEGS LOCATED IN THE OPEN END OF THE UPRIGHT, AND HAVING ITS WEB PORTION ATTACHED TO THE UPPER SURFACE OF THE SUPPORT OR SILL. A SINGLE HOLE IN THE UPRIGHT PROVIDES ACCESS TO AN ALLEN SCREW WHICH IS THREADABLY RECEIVED IN ONE OF TWO JAWS LOCATED BETWEEN THESE LEGS. THE ALLEN SCREW ABUTS THE OTHER JAW SO THAT THEY SERVE TO BOW THE LEGS OF THE U-SHAPED MEMBER OUTWARDLY TO ANCHOR THE UPRIGHT BY DRAWING IT DOWNWARDLY AGAINST THE SILL. THE WEB PORTION OF THE BRACKET IS SOMEWHAT NARROWER THAN THE WIDTH OF THE OPEN END OF THE TUBULAR UPRIGHT TO PERMIT THIS BOWING ACTION, AND LOCATING TABS IN THE LEGS HELP TO POSITION THE UPRIGHT VERTICALLY DURING ASSEMBLY.
