Each bracket has a slotted hole (23, 24) through it for a spindle with hooked ends (21, 22) carrying a fork (30) with a hole (29) through each arm, forming the eye member. The part of the spindle which fits inside the fork, may be of rectangular section, with sloping sides to match the slope of corresponding groove between the sides of the fork.
