Abstract
A bracket assembly and method for supporting portable element on a structure element using a bracket assembly are disclosed. The bracket assembly includes a cylindrical body, a holding bracket, a groove element including a body defining a groove shaped for conforming to and receiving a first portion of the structure element, a main bracket including a central portion, and a first leg element and a second leg element including grasping end sections for grasping a second portion of the structure element, the main bracket and the holding bracket being configured to cooperate so as to collaboratively form an open-ended channel, and an elongated wedge-shaped element selectively moving in the open-ended channel, when the elongated wedge-shaped element is slidably moved from a first position to a second position, a clamping force applied by the bracket assembly on the structure element is increased.
