An arrangement for supporting a railing and the like has a hollow base member, a hollow bar-shaped member telescopable over the base member, and a clamping element insertable in the base member and spreadable apart so as to spread the base member into clamping engagement with the bar-shaped member. The clamping element has two clamping portions which are partially separated from each other over a plane extending in a direction of elongation of the clamping element and are movable relative to each other in a direction transverse to the direction of elongation. Means are provided for spreading apart the clamping portion, including screws screwable in one of the clamping portions. The clamping portions each has a section outwardly projecting from the base member and adapted to be spread into clamping engagement with the bar-shaped member. The base member and the bar-shaped member have holes provided in walls adjacent to the clamping portion so that the screws may be screwed in the latter through such holes. |
