English term or phrase: Horseshoe - U-shaped metal piece
Is there a proper term in English for a U-shaped metal piece? The old documents (service manuals) we have, refer to it as a "horseshoe", but I know it comes from the translation of it's Hungarian name (patkó) and I don't find it professional.

These instruments are very unique and I can't find international references. It is basically a metal piece that holds some electrical components (a camera, some LEDs and a mirror).

So is there an engineering term for such a part?

(tartó)kengyel


Explanation:
I would recommend the use of "tartókengyel" or simply "kengyel" (support bracket or bracket). This name is frequently used for parts or components of similar shape and function (rather than patkó).

disagree  Katalin Horváth McClure: A kengyel nem jó, mert nem úgy funkcionál, mint a belinkelt kengyelek, ez maga nem rögzít semmit, ehhez rögzítik a cuccokat. Ráadásul kamerák esetében a kengyelnek külön jelentése van, a kamera tetejére szerelhető lámpa/mikrofontartót nevezik kengyelnek.
