A mounting bracket is defined by three pairs of parallel planes. Each pair is orthogonal to the other two pair. The first pair provides a first plane for the mounting of an object thereto and a second plane for the attaching of the mounting bracket to a flat surface. The second and third pair are configured for use in a cooperative fashion when attaching the mounting bracket to a cylindrical surface.

A mounting bracket comprising:a sheet of rigid material having a mounting surface with a first plurality of holes provided therethrough, said first plurality of holes defining a geometric arrangement having a perimeter, said mounting surface further having a second plurality of holes provided therethrough and residing outside of said perimeter, said second plurality of holes arranged in two spaced-apart columns,said sheet of rigid material forming right angles at upper and lower ends thereof to define respective upper and lower planar surfaces depending from said mounting surface and opposing one another, each of said upper and lower planar surfaces having a notch formed therein wherein said notches are aligned with one another,said sheet of rigid material forming right angles at a plurality of locations depending from said upper and lower planar surfaces to define a respective plurality of mounting tabs that lie in a plane parallel to said mounting surface, each of said plurality of mounting tabs having a hole formed therethrough,said sheet of rigid material having a plurality of slotted tabs extending from lateral edges of said mounting surface at right angles with respect thereto, said plurality of slotted tabs arranged in two spaced-apart rows that are substantially parallel to said upper and lower planar surfaces. 2. A mounting bracket as in claim 1 wherein each of said second plurality of holes is an elongated slot. 3. A mounting bracket as in claim 2 wherein said second plurality of holes comprises:a first pair of elongated slots horizontally aligned with one another and substantially parallel to said upper and lower planar surfaces; anda second pair of elongated slots horizontally aligned with one another and substantially parallel to said upper and lower planar surfaces. 4. A mounting bracket as in claim 1 wherein each of said notches is a v-notch. 5. A mounting bracket as in claim 1 wherein said plurality of mounting tabs depending from said upper planar surface extend upward therefrom, and wherein said plurality of mounting tabs depending from said lower planar surface extend downward therefrom. 6. A mounting bracket comprising:a rigid material shaped to define three pairs of parallel planes with each pair from said three pairs being orthogonal to the other two pair of said three pairs,said rigid material that forms a first pair of said three pairs of parallel planes being configured to provide a first plane for the mounting of an object thereto and a second plane to provide for the attaching of said mounting bracket to a flat surface,said rigid material that forms a second pair and a third pair of said three pairs of parallel planes configured for use in a cooperative fashion when attaching said mounting bracket to a cylindrical surfacewherein said rigid material that forms said second pair of parallel planes is notched to abut the cylindrical surface when said mounting bracket is attached thereto, andwherein said rigid material that forms said third pair of parallel planes has horizontally-aligned holes formed therethrough. 7. A mounting bracket as in claim 6 further comprising a plurality of elongated slots provided through said rigid material in said first plane of said first pair of parallel planes for cooperative use with U-bolts.
