Abstract
A bracket is disclosed for mounting one object on another. The bracket has two pivotally joined links, one for receiving said one object. Each link is pivotally joined to a respective fixing member for fixing to the other object. The pivotal joints have parallel pivotal axes so that the distance at which the fixing members are spaced, when fixed to the other object determines the angular orientation of said one object relative to the other.

- two pivotally joined links, a first one of the links for receiving said one object;
- each of the two links being pivotally joined by at least one pivotal joint to a respective fixing member for fixing to the other object, the pivotal joints having parallel pivotal axes so that a distance at which the fixing members are spaced, when fixed to the other object, determines the angular orientation of the first one of the links relative to the fixing members;
- wherein a second one of the links comprises two separate members side by side each pivotally joined to the first one of the links and to the associated fixing member.
