1. A structure for clamping two rods transversely to one another, comprisinga. first and second cross members each extending transversely to one another to end portions from a central union along a first axis,b. the end portions of the first cross member supporting a seating surface crossing over the union along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, said seating surface having a basal portion facing away from said union,c. the end portions of the second cross member supporting a pair of retainers separated from each other on opposite sides of said seating surface, each retainer having a shank and top portion defining a side opening under the top portion, the side openings being co-aligned along a third axis that is perpendicular to said first and second axes, said side openings facing opposite directions, the top portion of the retainers being spaced from the basal portion of the seating surface only to an extent effective to cause a second rod received in said retainer openings upon rotation of said structure about said first axis to press normally on a first rod received in said seating surface upon said rotation to clamp the two rods transversely together at an intersection of said first, second and third axes.
