Abstract
The bracket 6 of the rod holder 2 is constructed of substantially resiliently flexible material and has four slots 24, 26, 28 and 30 in the rim 18 thereof, which depend to points 37 substantially contiguous to the base plate 4, so that the bracket is divided into pairs of relatively resiliently displaceable body portions 38, 40, 42, 44, and 46. The walls 36 of the body portions have successive pairs of part annular collar sections 34 therein, which define successively smaller clamping rings 48, with nips 50 therebetween, as the slots depend toward the plate 4. As a result, when a rod 96 is impaled in the V-shaped kerf of a slot, it can seek that ring 48 which will grip it against dislodgement, when the caduceus-like clamps 32 at the walls of the body portions, relax about the rod.
