Abstract
A two-part bracket to be secured to a cylindrical object such as a header tank for a condenser, e.g. for an automobile air conditioning system, comprises two parts each having a concave portion and a flange portion and interengaging formations such as matching tongues and grooves arranged so that the two parts can be assembled with their concave portions together embracing an arc of more than 180.degree. around a portion of the cylindrical object and with their flange portions lying against one another so as to resist opening of the region embraced by the concave portions, so that the assembled bracket can be slid on to the cylindrical object from one end and will be held thereon in a desired position by friction while the bracket is welded or brazed to the cylindrical object.
