  • Patent number: 9359785
    Abstract: A metal post reinforcement arrangement adapted to be clamped about a broken section of a metal post, including two opposing brackets wherein when a bolt fixes one bracket to the other about the metal post the bolt divides the broken section into upper and lower portions so as to provide support and/or structural integrity when the reinforcement arrangement is clamped about the broken section and wherein each bracket has a substantially semi circular cross-sectional configuration along said bracket length that includes a longitudinal central segment terminating on opposed sides with internally directed curved edges with corresponding upwardly extended rounded shoulders that provide substantially triangular dimples on the internal side of the bracket, and wherein a peripheral flange stems out from a rounded dip from each substantially triangular dimple such that said brackets are adapted to be fixed around metal posts having different shapes.
