Patent attributes
Saddle bracket assemblies and corresponding methods of assembly and/or use are disclosed. Saddle brackets comprise two bracket members, a male bracket member and a female bracket member. The bracket members are configured to mate to a panel, such as a sandwich panel, through one or more panel passages through the panel. The bracket members generally have an L-shaped profile with two arms. The male bracket member includes one or more standoffs affixed to one arm, the standoff(s) being configured to fit the panel passage(s). The saddle bracket is assembled by inserting the standoff(s) through the panel passage(s), aligning the female bracket member to the standoff(s) and/or the panel passage(s), and securing the bracket members together with one or more panel connectors coupling the standoff(s) of the male bracket member, though the panel passage(s), to the female bracket member.
