Hi,
you could draw a left bracket at 2n, a vertical line  at 2n+1 and join 
both by  a horizontal line. The following works fine in version 6. For 
older versions you will need a Show statement and eventually scale the 
graphics to get a pleasing height/width:
del=0.3; bar=1;
c1=Table[2n,{n,-10,10}];
c2=Table[2n+1,{n,-10,10}];
leftBracket[x_]:=Line[{{x+del,-bar},{x,-bar},{x,bar},{x+del,bar}}];
horLine[x_]:=Line[{{x,-bar},{x,bar}}];
vertLine[x1_,x2_]:=Line[{{x1,0},{x2,0}}];
Graphics[{
leftBracket /@ c1 ,
horLine/@ c2,
MapThread[vertLine,{c1,c2}]
}]
hope this helps, Daniel
