Abstract:
A unique foldable mounting bracket assembly for mounting and securing both vertically and horizontally disposed accessories for decks and patios. Both an upper and lower mounting bracket assembly are required when supporting a vertically disposed cylindrical post. These brackets are mounted to the vertical post and when used in conjunction with the railing of a deck the brackets can be mounted below the top railing horizontal support cross member and above the lower support cross member. When mounting in conjunction with a horizontally disposed accessory, only a single bracket is required; which can be mounted below the top railing horizontal support cross member. The bracket can be mounted such that the horizontally disposed accessory can be stored and not be removed. The mounting bracket assembly can support both vertically and horizontally disposed patio and deck accessories simultaneously. This unique foldable mounting bracket when not in use stows flush against the vertical support post not protruding out of the envelope of the standard 2″×4″ railing horizontal members.
