Abstract:
A bracket for pivotally supporting an end of a long tubular frame element on a rigid support surface, the bracket comprising:A) a rigid pivot pin having a first long axis for friction free pivotal connection to an end of the long tubular frame element;B) a rigid pivot pin support member having a pair of parallel opposed projections for receiving therebetween the end of the tubular frame element and for supporting said pivot pin, said pivot pin support member having an elongate second axis transverse to said first long axis;C) a first rigid end element having means for fastening to said a rigid support surface;D) a second rigid end element having means for fastening to said rigid support surface;E) said first and second end elements supporting said pivot pin support member at opposed ends of said pivot pin support member and being freely rotatable relative to one another and to said pivot pin support member about said elongate second axis, to thereby enable the bracket to support friction free movement of said tubular frame element through more than a single plane and to facilitate fastening the bracket to a non-planar rigid surface.
