Abstract:
A bracket assembly mountable on a rod and providing a support surface for an object, comprising:a support bracket having a substantially planar support surface of a predetermined length with two longitudinal edges and two ends, a substantially planar flange surface substantially parallel to and spaced from the support surface, the flange surface having a longitudinal edge on a same side as a first longitudinal edge of the support surface, a connecting surface that connects the support surface and the flange surface, a first opening provided on the planar support surface near one of the two ends, the first opening extending inward from the first longitudinal edge of the support surface and sized to receive a rod having a predetermined width, the first opening defining at least a rear contact surface and a side contact surface, and a second opening provided on the flange surface, the second opening extending inward from the longitudinal edge of the flange surface and sized to receive the rod, the second opening defining at least a front contact surface and a side contact surface, the first and second openings being at least partially overlapping to define a through hole sized to receive the rod; and a support element sized larger than the through hole fixedly positioned on the rod, the support bracket resting on the support element.
