Overhead rail attachment

A rail attachment for supporting a support rail, said attachment comprising:

• two rail engagement brackets in use to engage with and secure a support rail therebetween,
• connection means for securing the two rail engagement brackets relative to one another, said connection means comprising at least one attachment means for suspending the rail brackets and the support rail,
• each said rail engagement bracket comprising a support section in use to engage with and be secured to the support rail,
• each rail engagement bracket further comprising a first connection section in use for extending over the support rail,
• said first connection sections each comprising an intermediate region and a distal region whereby the distal region is spaced from the support section by the intermediate section and wherein the distal region is of a greater length than the intermediate region as considered in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the intermediate region spaces the distal region from the support section of the rail engagement bracket, and
• the connection means comprising a second connection section adapted for securing the distal regions of the rail engagement brackets relative to one another,
• wherein each rail engagement bracket is formed from sheet material and has a shape such that at least a part of the rail support section extends inclined relative to the first connection section.
