first embodiment
[0068]FIG. 1 illustrates one bracket 10 of a two-bracket rail support system according to the present invention. The bracket 10 is shown from opposing sides in FIGS. 1 and 2, and is referred to herein as the left bracket intended for use together with a cooperating right bracket of mirrored configuration to the left bracket. Each bracket is intended to temporarily support a respective end of a fence rail on a respective one of two neighbouring fence posts during construction of a fence, as shown in FIG. 3. Each fence post 100, 102 stands vertically upright from an area of ground beneath which the bottom end of the fence post is buried to anchor it in this upright position. Each fence post has a square cross-sectional shape in horizontal cross-sectional planes that lie perpendicularly to the central vertical axis of the fence post. Once installed, the rail 104 spans horizontally between the two vertical posts 100, 102 in elevated relation above the ground in an in-line position betwe...
third embodiment
[0088]To allow optional use of differently sized rails, and more particularly rails of different edge-to-edge face width (which corresponds to the height of the rail in its installed face-out edge-up orientation), the shoulder of each third embodiment bracket 10″, 10A″ features two shoulder flanges 18A, 18B instead of a single shoulder flange spanning the full height from the seating flange 16 to the top end 20a of the bracket. A notch or slot 210 is cut into the inner edge vertical leg 120 of the blank 200″, as shown in FIG. 10, at a height above the upper bend line 206 that equals the full edge-to-edge face width of the smaller of the two compatible rail sizes. In the finished bracket 10″, 10A″, this creates a gap 19 between the two shoulder flanges 18A, 18B at a height above the seating flange 16 that equals the edge-to-edge face width of the smaller of the two compatible rails sizes. So, in the illustrated embodiment intended for use with either 2×4 or 2×6 rails, the gap 19 is s...
