An adjustable bimini bracket is for use in connection with a boat having a railing
tubular member on either side of the boat, and a bimini having strut tubular members.
Left and right side plates are generally parallel and spaced apart. A transverse
plate extends between the side plates. Ridges are disposed intermediate the transverse
plate and the end. The side plates have a pair of collinear holes therethrough
adjacent each end. The bimini bracket will slidingly engage the tubular member
between the side plates. A bolt and a hand knob engage the first holes. The hand
knob will be tightened, clamping the tubular member between the side plates, thereby
preventing the bimini bracket from sliding on the tubular member. A second bolt
and a nut engage the second holes for pivotal fastening of a strut tubular member
to the bimini bracket, and for fastening a tie-down. The side plates taper upward
in thickness from one end to the ridges. A plurality of ribs reinforces the side plates.
