The bolts may be tightened to clamp the semi-circular members 30 firmly against thepost holding theinner ends of the bracket in place. If desired but a single. bracket may be secured to the upright postby the employment of the members 30; with this arrangement the ears 32 upon one side of the post are directly connected to each. other by suitable'fastening means such as bolts without the interposition-ofia second cantilever bracket. A suitable holder 42 may be provided atthe outer end of each can tilever bracket, such a holderbeing arranged to receive and positively retain horizontal parts. and rivets which is adapted firmly-to bars of different sizes, ifdesired. 3 Theholder 42 may comprise similar oppositeshee't inetal parts '43; the inner ends of which are disposed in juxtaposed parallelismto provide extensions 47 which form a spacer bejtween't'he outer ends of the sheet metalparts 8. {Preferably suitable'fastenin'g meanssuch as rivets 46 connect these extensions to the ends of thetr'apezoidal sheet metal elements.
