Said first connecting element 30 comprises a recess portion 32 arranged to receive said first protrusion 24 of said second bracket member 20. Said recess portion 32 has the shape of a conically shaped concave seat for receiving said conically shaped end portion 24a of the first protrusion 24. Said recess portion 32 thus has a conically shaped concave seat portion 32a for receiving said conically shaped end portion 24a of the first protrusion 24. Said recess portion 32 comprises according to this embodiment a through hole 32b surrounded by said conically shaped concave seat portion 32a. Said recess portion 32 could alternatively comprise a blind hole.
Said first connecting element 30 has according to this embodiment the shape of a plate member adapted to fit on the upper side 10a of the first bracket member 10. Said first connecting element 30 has according to this embodiment the shape of a rectangular plate member so as to essentially cover said U-shaped first bracket member 10 when applied on the upper side thereof. Said plate shaped first connecting element has a thickness T1.
Said first connecting element 30 comprises a set of through holes H3e, H3f, H3g, H3h for receiving joint members, here screw members of screw joint members, for fastening said connecting element 30 to said first bracket member as illustrated in e.g. fig. 2.

Said set of through holes/recesses H3a, H3b, H3c, H3d are according to this embodiment four, constituting intents in connection to the respective corner of the plate shaped rectangular first connecting element 30.
Fig. 7 schematically illustrates a side view of the first connecting element 30 in fig. 6a attached to the first bracket member 10 and second bracket member 20 of the arrangement in fig. 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
According to this embodiment of the arrangement said first connecting element 30 constitutes a flexible plate member for accommodating an adjustment to said second bracket member dimensions during mounting. The first connecting element 30 thus has a flexibility so that when it is fastened by means of screw joint members to the first bracket member 10 it may flex to a certain degree F depending on the dimensions and possible orientation of the second bracket member so that the second bracket member 20 is fixedly attached between the first connecting element 30 and second connecting element 40 and so that the first connecting element 30 is fixedly attached against the upper side 10a of the first bracket member 10. Hereby greater tolerances with regard to dimensions of e.g. the second bracket member are allowed.
During mounting said through holes H3a, H3b, H3c, H3d of the first connecting element 30 and said through holes H4a, H4b, H4c, H4d of the second connecting element 40 are arranged to be essentially aligned with the, as through holes designed, hole portions H1a, H1b, H1c, H1d of the first bracket member 10 so as to allow screw members to be introduced there through. Thus, the holes H3a, H1a and H4a are essentially aligned, the holes H3b, H1b and H4b are essentially aligned, the holes H3c, H1c and H4c are essentially aligned, and the holes H3d, H1d and H4d are essentially aligned. In fig. 2 the alignment of the holes H3a, H1a and H4a and the alignment of the holes H3b, H1b and H4b are shown.
Said through holes H4a, H4b, H4c, H4d of the second connecting element 40 and said, as through holes designed, hole portions H1a, H1b, H1c, H1d of the first bracket member 10 have according to this embodiment essentially the same diameter.
During mounting said through holes H3e, H3f, H3g, H3h of the first connecting element 30 are arranged to be essentially aligned with the, as blind holes designed, hole portions H1e, H1f , H1g, H1h of the first bracket member 10 so as to allow screw members to be introduced there through.
Said as blind holes designed, hole portions H1e, H1f , H1g, H1h of the first bracket member 10 comprises a threaded end portion 54-5, 54-6.
As shown in fig. 7 the diameter D1 of the as through holes designed hole portions of the first bracket member 10, and hence also the diameter of the in fig. 7 not shown second connecting element are greater than the diameter D2 of the screw member 52-1, 52-2 introduced in said hole portions. Said hole portions are thus designed to allow displacement of a screw member transversal to the axial extension of said hole portion. Correspondingly, the diameter of the, as blind holes designed, hole portions of the first bracket member 10, not shown here, and hence also the diameter of the through holes of the first connecting element, not shown here, for alignment with those holes are greater than the diameter of the screw members arranged to be introduced into said blind holes.
Hereby positioning of the first connecting element 30 relative to the first bracket member 10 for certain displacement of the alignment of the through holes of the first connecting element 30 and the hole portions of the first bracket member 10 and the through holes of the second connecting element are allowed still facilitating introduction of screw members though said holes. Further, positioning of the second connecting element 40 relative to the first bracket member 10 for certain displacement of the alignment of the through holes of the first connecting element 30 and the hole portions of the first bracket member 10 and the through holes of the first connecting element 30 are allowed still facilitating introduction of screw members though said holes.
Thus, adjustment of the first connecting element 30 and/or the second connecting element 40 relative to the first bracket member 10 in the direction transversal to the longitudinal extension of said hole portions/through holes are allowed for still allowing introduction of screw members through said hole portions/through holes. Hereby positioning and fastening of said second bracket member 20 is facilitated. For example, if two second bracket members 20 are used, as in fig. 3, the respective bracket member 20 may have a certain inclination relative to each other, wherein said design of the holes allowing displacement of the screw members will allow mounting of said two second bracket members 20 by adjustment of the first and/or second connecting elements for the respective second bracket member 20.
Thus, hereby greater tolerances with regard to orientation of e.g. the second bracket member are allowed.
Above, the hole portions of the first bracket member 10 and the through holes of the first and second connecting elements 30, 40 have been illustrated mainly as circular holes. The holes could have any suitable shape for allowing introduction of screw members and possible displacement of screw members. One or more of said holes could e.g. have an elongated shape, oval shape or the like.
