Abstract

A bracket structure is provided. The bracket structure includes a base, a connection pipe and at least one cascade member. The base includes a base body, a first connection protrusion and a second connection protrusion. The first connection protrusion and the second connection protrusion are affixed to the base body. The first connection protrusion includes a first contact surface. The second connection protrusion includes a second contact surface. The first contact surface faces the second contact surface. The connection pipe includes an extending section, a fitting section and a pivot section. The cascade member pivots on the first connection protrusion, the pivot section and the second connection protrusion. The pivot section includes a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface. The first abutting surface forms a surface-to-surface contact with the first contact surface. The second abutting surface forms a surface-to-surface contact with the second contact surface.
