Abstract
This disclosure enables various brackets and methods of manufacture and use thereof. For example, a bracket may have a first plate, a second plate, and a clip cantileveredly extending from the second plate or monolithic with the second plate.
Claims39
A device, comprising:
- a bracket including a first plate, a second plate, and a clip, wherein the first plate extends along a first plane, wherein the second plate extends from the first plate along a second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first plane intersects the second plane, wherein the second plate includes an end section distal to the first plate, wherein the clip includes a base, a first finger, and a second finger, wherein the base extends from the end section along the second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first finger and the second finger extend from the base away from the second plane such that the clip is able to hold a tubular member when the tubular member extends between the first finger and the second finger.
A method, comprising:
- sending a bracket to a user, wherein the bracket including a first plate, a second plate, and a clip, wherein the first plate extends along a first plane, wherein the second plate extends from the first plate along a second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first plane intersects the second plane, wherein the second plate includes an end section distal to the first plate, wherein the clip includes a base, a first finger, and a second finger, wherein the base extends from the end section along the second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first finger and the second finger extend from the base away from the second plane;
- and
- instructing the user to operate the clip such that the clip holds a tubular member as the tubular member extends between the first finger and the second finger.
A method, comprising:
- causing a bracket to be accessed, wherein the bracket includes a first plate, a second plate, and a clip, wherein the first plate extends along a first plane, wherein the second plate extends from the first plate along a second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first plane intersects the second plane, wherein the second plate includes an end section distal to the first plate, wherein the clip includes a base, a first finger, and a second finger, wherein the base extends from the end section along the second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first finger and the second finger extend from the base away from the second plane;
- and
- causing the clip to hold a tubular member as the tubular member extends between the first finger and the second finger.
A method, comprising:
- manufacturing a bracket including a first plate, a second plate, and a clip, wherein the first plate extends along a first plane, wherein the second plate extends from the first plate along a second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first plane intersects the second plane, wherein the second plate includes an end section distal to the first plate, wherein the clip includes a base, a first finger, and a second finger, wherein the base extends from the end section along the second plane away from the first plane, wherein the first finger and the second finger extend from the base away from the second plane such that the clip is able to hold a tubular member when the tubular member extends between the first finger and the second finger.
