Abstract

A spring support bracket for supporting a sheet metal trough intermittently on leaf springs provides an L-shaped bracket for a welding connection to a side wall and bottom wall of the sheet metal trough and a spring block extending outwardly from the vertical member of the L-shaped bracket and tilted to the vertical rearwardly of the trough. The spring block includes an aperture for receiving a fastener for connecting a leaf spring thereto so that the trough may be supported by a plurality of leaf springs arranged intermittently along the length of the trough and on opposite lateral sides of the troughs.
