ABSTRACT:
An engaging member is provided for engaging two cross rods consisting of a first rod and a second rod. The engaging member includes an inverted U-shaped section having two ends. Each end of the inverted U-shaped section extends in a direction transverse to a plane on which the inverted U-shaped section locates, thereby forming an upwardly facing receiving section through which the second rod is extended. The receiving sections are parallel to each other and respectively joined with a first inclined section and a second inclined section. The first inclined section has a distal end extending across the second inclined section, thereby forming a first inverted U-shaped retaining section that is located above the first inclined section and the second inclined section. The second inclined section has a distal end extending across the first inclined section and, thereby forming a second inverted U-shaped retaining section that is located above the first inclined section and the second inclined section. The second inverted U-shaped retaining section is spaced apart from the first inverted U-shaped retaining section. The first rod is extended through the inverted U-shaped section and between the first inclined section and the second inclined section, while the first inverted U-shaped retaining section and the second inverted U-shaped retaining section are engaged with a portion of an upper periphery of the first rod. Each of the first inclined section and the second inclined section forms a bend adjacent to an associated receiving section for securely retaining the second rod in the receiving sections. The inverted U-shaped section is inclined toward the retaining sections, while the inverted U-shaped section and the receiving sections are so sized that the first rod rests on the second rod, thereby providing a reliable engaging effect between the first rod and the second rod.
