Abstract
A clamping bracket comprising, one or more bracket pieces, can be employed to hold an object in a desired position. The bracket can be constructed to make installation of the bracket with respect to the object easy and intuitive to the user, and more cost effective. The clamping bracket can have a top portion and bottom portion of the bracket that extend outward from a base portion of the bracket. Ends of the top and bottom portions can complement a groove formed in a casing of the object, wherein the ends of the top and bottom portions can be inserted into the groove. A fastener can be inserted through holes in the top and bottom portions, wherein, when the fastener is tightened down on the bracket, the fastener can cause the ends of the top and bottom portions to clamp down on and hold the object within the bracket.
