Aluminum universal angle brackets

Abstract

A mounting bracket for mounting a rail to a post comprising: a mounting means connectable to the post in a first plane; a bracket for supporting the rail in a second plane; and an angle variation means disposed between the mounting means and the bracket, whereby the angle variation means allows the orientation of the first plane with respect to the second plane to be varied; and whereby the mounting bracket is comprised of aluminum.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A mounting bracket for mounting a rail to a post comprising: a mounting means connectable to the post in a first plane; 
 a bracket means for supporting the rail in a second plane; and    an angle variation means disposed between said mounting means and said bracket means, whereby said angle variation means allows the orientation of the first plane with respect to the second plane to be varied; and    whereby said mounting bracket is comprised of aluminum.    
     
     
         2 . The mounting bracket of  claim 1  wherein said angle variation means comprises an axial connection between said mounting means and said bracket.  
     
     
         3 . The mounting bracket of  claim 2 , wherein said axial connection allows rotation of said bracket in a substantially horizontal plane with respect to said mounting means.  
     
     
         4 . The mounting bracket of  claim 2 , wherein said axial connection allows rotation of said bracket in a substantially vertical plane with respect to said mounting means.
