Adjustable pot retainer

Abstract

A pot retainer has a retaining member, a first adjusting member, and a second adjusting member extending into the second opening and having a screw extending into the elongated hole to engage with a face of the second adjusting member so as to secure the second adjusting member to the first adjusting member. The engagement of the first adjusting member by the at least one screw which extends into the slit and the engagement of the second adjusting member by the second screw which extends into the elongated hole allows the relative position between the retaining member and the first adjusting member and the first adjusting member and the second adjusting member to change so that the pot retainer is adapted to clamp a laterally extending elongated object.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An adjustable pot retainer comprising: 
 a retaining member composed of a first horizontal portion, a hollow second horizontal portion and a linkage securely connecting the first and second horizontal portions together, the hollow second horizontal portion having a slit defined in a face of the second horizontal portion and an opening in a distal end thereof;    a first adjusting member having at least one screw extending into the slit to engage with a face of the first adjusting member so as to secure the first adjusting member relative to the retaining member, an elongated hole in a face of the first adjusting member to communicate with an interior of the first adjusting member and a second opening defined in a distal end of the first adjusting member; and    a second adjusting member extending into the second opening and having a second screw extending into the elongated hole to engage with a face of the second adjusting member so as to secure the second adjusting member to the first adjusting member,    whereby the engagement of the first adjusting member by the at least one screw which extends into the slit and the engagement of the second adjusting member by the second screw which extends into the elongated hole allow the relative position between the retaining member and the first adjusting member and the first adjusting member and the second adjusting member to change so as that the pot retainer is adapted to clamp a laterally extending elongated object.    
     
     
         2 . The pot retainer as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first adjusting member is L shaped.  
     
     
         3 . The pot retainer as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the second adjusting member is L shaped.
