combo bracket combination bracket / multi-purpose bracket Explanation: 'combo' is a common short form of 'combinatoin' in vernacular English. Here it apparently means that the bracket can be used for more than one type of installation or mounting. As it is given in all caps, it may be a product name (this usage is especially popular in German, and it is sometimes adopted in English -- esp. in translations). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2007-11-05 10:47:19 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- make that 'combination' |
