ABSTRACT:
A connection assembly includes a base structure having a U-shaped piece with turned end walls at each end of a connecting portion with a cut out in each end wall, and a U-shaped cover piece having end walls each with a cut out, the cut outs, of each piece aligned to form an opening receiving an elongated member clamped therein by attachment of said cover pair to the u-shaped piece of the base structure. The base structure can include a second U-shaped piece having a pair of end walls each one end a connecting portion fixed to the first U-shaped piece turned 90° thereto so that the end walls of each lie between each other. A second cover piece with end walls having cut outs aligned with cut outs in the second U-shaped piece end walls may receive a second elongated member in a crossing relationship with the first elongate member. Alternatively, the second cover piece has a second elongated member fixedly projecting from the second cover piece. The second U-shaped piece could also be configured to provide a flat mounting structure for mounting various items to an elongated member.
