Patent ID: 7703738

Claim:
A system comprising: a first bracket made fit to be releaseably coupled to a first pole, said first bracket comprising a first collar defining a first cavity having a first fixed dimension made fit to slideably receive and fix the first pole in said first cavity in said first fixed dimension, said first collar defining a first fastener receiving opening, said first fastener receiving opening made fit to receive a substantially non-destructively removable first fastener, said first fastener made fit to releaseably secure the first pole to said first bracket, wherein removal of said first fastener allows a substantially non-destructive removal of the first pole from said first bracket, said first bracket made fit to restrain motion of the first pole relative to said first bracket in a first direction of a first longitudinal axis of said first collar, said first collar made fit to restrain motion of the first pole relative to said first collar perpendicular to said first longitudinal axis, said first collar made fit to restrain rotational motion of the first pole about said first longitudinal axis; and a second bracket made fit to be releaseably coupled to a second pole, said second bracket comprising a second collar defining a second cavity having a second fixed dimension made fit to slideably receive and fix the second pole in said second cavity in said second fixed dimension, said second collar defining a second fastener receiving opening, said second fastener receiving opening made fit to receive a substantially non-destructively removable second fastener, said second fastener made fit to releaseably secure the second pole to said second bracket, wherein removal of said second fastener allows a substantially non-destructive removal of the second pole from said second bracket, said second bracket made fit to restrain motion of the second pole relative to said second bracket in a first direction of a second longitudinal axis of said second collar, said second collar made fit to restrain motion of the second pole relative to said second collar perpendicular to said second longitudinal axis of said second collar, said second collar made fit to restrain rotational motion of the second pole about said second longitudinal axis of said second collar, said second bracket coupled to said first bracket via a hinge, said second bracket made fit to be releaseably coupled to said first bracket via a substantially non-destructively removable third fastener.
