A backing plate member is securable preferably to a vertically extending wall with at least one or more C-shaped clamping members secured thereto and extending outwardly therefrom approximately horizontally. Each clamping member includes a first and second clamp arm with a unique clamp arm adjustment means attached therebetween and positioned between the clamp base and the cylinder gripping zone defined between the clamp arms. The clamp arm adjustment means preferably includes a locking member for adjusting the spacing between the clamps for adjusting the size of the cylinder gripping zone as well as a spacer member with an arcuate abutment surface mated to the adjustment abutment surface of one of the clamp arms to facilitate contact therebetween at various adjustment positions and contact therebetween as the preferably flexibly resilient clamp arms are resiliently flexed to a more open position during urging of a cylindrically-shaped member therebetween into the cylinder gripping zone.

[ We claim:] [1.]1. A mounting bracket means for detachably supporting a generally cylindrically-shaped member upon a wall surface comprising:A. a backing plate member securable to a wall surface;B. at least one clamping member extending outwardly away from said backing plate member and being generally C-shaped to facilitate receiving and retaining of a generally cylindrically-shaped member therein, each of said clamping members including:(1) a clamp base means securable to said backing plate member to facilitate retaining of said clamping member securely with respect to said backing plate member;(2) a first clamp arm means secured to and extending outwardly from said clamp base means and being resiliently flexible and adapted to engage the cylindrically-shaped member to facilitate retaining thereof selectively;(3) a second clamp arm means secured to and extending outwardly from said clamp base means at a position spatially disposed from said first clamp arm means, said second clamp arm means being resiliently flexible and adapted to engage the cylindrically-shaped member oppositely from said first clamp arm means to facilitate retaining thereof selectively, said first clamp arm means, said second clamp arm means and said clamp base means together forming a generally C-shaped configuration defining a cylinder gripping zone therebetween to facilitate retaining of a cylindrically-shaped member placed therebetween; and(4) a clamp arm adjustment means attached to said first and second clamp arm means and extending therebetween, said clamp arm adjustment means being attached to said first and second clamp arm means at a position between said clamp base means and said cylinder gripping zone to facilitate adjustment in sizing of said cylinder gripping zone defined therebetween, said clamp arm adjustment means comprising:a. a main rod member attached to said second clamp arm means and extending toward said first clamp arm means, said main rod member positioned extending through said first adjustment aperture means defined in said first clamp arm means;b. a locking member adjustably secured to said main rod member adjacent said first clamp arm means oppositely from said second clamp arm means to limit spatial separation between said first clamp arm means and said second clamp arm means, said locking member being adjustably positionable with respect to said main rod member to facilitate adjustment of the spacing between said first clamp arm means and said second clamp arm means to facilitate control of sizing of said cylinder gripping zone; andc. a spacer member attached to said main rod member and positioned in abutment with and between said locking member and said first clamp arm means, said spacer member including an arcuate abutment surface positioned in abutting contact with respect to said first clamp arm means at a position oppositely with respect to said second clamp arm means to maintain direct contact with said first clamp arm means regardless of the position of adjustment of said first clamp arm means with respect to said second clamp arm means.
