Thesecond clamp 96 has a backward C-shaped cross-section transverse to the channel axis 98 (see FIG. 18). - The
coupler 84 attaches to thecylindrical member 90 upon relative rotation between thecoupler 84 and thecylindrical member 90, as shown in FIGS. 19-20. To attach thecoupler 84 to thecylindrical member 90, thecoupler 84 and thecylindrical member 90 are initially relatively positioned such that thecylindrical member 90 extends between theclamps longitudinal axis 116 of thecylindrical member 90 is transverse to thechannel axis 98. Thecoupler 84 and thecylindrical member 90 are then relatively moved about an axis ofrotation 118 transverse to thechannel axis 98 and thelongitudinal axis 116. During such relative movement aboutaxis 118, axially spaced apart portions of thecylindrical member 90 engage thedistal end portions 110 of theclamps distal end portions 110 to move somewhat away from theirproximal end portions 112 to allow the axially spaced apart portions of thecylindrical member 90 to pass through theopenings 114 into thechannel 97. - When the axially spaced apart portions of the
cylindrical member 90 enter thechannel 97, thedistal end portions 110 move back toward theproximal end portions 112 such that theclamps cylindrical member 90 to clamp thecylindrical member 90 in thechannel 97. Thechannel axis 98 generally coincides with thelongitudinal axis 116 of thecylindrical member 90 when theclamps cylindrical member 90 in thechannel 97. - A
coupler 120 is configured to attach thehorizontal portion 80 of theside frame portion 40 to thetransverse portion 46, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, 5-13, and 21. Thecoupler 120 comprises thefirst support member 86 which attaches to thetransverse portion 46 of the headend frame portion 38. Thecoupler 120 further comprises asecond support member 122 different from thesecond support member 88 of thecoupler 84. Rather than having ahook 92 like thecoupler 84, thesecond support member 122 is configured as a sleeve providing anopening 124 through which an end portion of thehorizontal portion 80 extends to mount thehorizontal portion 80 to thesecond support member 122. There are a variety of ways that the end portion of thehorizontal portion 80 can be coupled to thesecond support member 122. The end portion may simply be inserted into thesecond support member 122, press fit into thesecond support member 122, threaded into thesecond support member 122, bonded to thesecond support member 122, and/or the like.
