Here's some pictures I snagged from various places on the web that might help display the set up. Some don't have the lower horizontal brace, for unknown reasons.
I think one overlapping the other works fine, and maybe one rods ends are bent a little at the welded ends to cause it to stand off enough from the other. Hard to tell from the pics I could find.
