Abstract: A bracket for the mounting of distribution transformer tanks to the tops of supports, such as utility poles is disclosed. The bracket is formed from a single stamped band of metal and includes a narrow vertically disposed front bracket surface just sufficiently wide to accommodate a conventional jump proof lip for attachment to a bracket or bolt holding the bracket to the support--such as a pole. Paired vertically disposed bracket sides diverge from the front surface to and toward the supported tank. These sides are bent at welding pad support legs. These legs are in parallel alignment, and extend until the tank sides. At the tank sides, the bracket at each side flares outwardly and ends to define a welding pad with discrete major surface areas tangent to the tank sides. When weld material is placed continuously around these firm tank attachment of the bracket occurs.
