Abstract
A clamp includes a first clamp body portion arranged for removable coupling about a generally cylindrical support structure to a second clamp body portion. The first clamp body portion includes a first clamp structure containing a first generally semi-spherical floating bushing, the first generally semi-spherical floating bushing coupled to the first clamp structure. The second clamp body portion includes a second clamp structure containing a second generally semi-spherical floating bushing, the second generally semi-spherical floating bushing coupled to the second clamp structure.
Claims19
A clamp comprising:
- a first clamp body portion including a first clamp structure coupled to a first generally semi-spherical floating bushing, an outside surface of the first floating bushing being sized and shaped to match an inside surface of the first clamp structure, an inside surface of the first floating bushing defining two generally planar end regions interconnected by at least an arched central region;
- a second clamp body portion arranged for removable coupling to the first body clamp portion, the second body clamp portion including a second clamp structure coupled to a second generally semi-spherical floating bushing, an outside surface of the second floating bushing being sized and shaped to match an inside surface of the second clamp structure, an inside surface of the second floating bushing defining two generally planar end regions interconnected by at least an arched central region;
- and
- at least one drop-prevention structure coupled to at least one of the first clamp body portion and the second clamp body portion.
A clamping system comprising:
- a first clamp body portion having a first clamp structure, the first clamp structure having a first generally semi-spherical floating bushing, wherein the first floating bushing includes an inside surface defining two generally planar end regions interconnected by at least an arched central region;
- a second clamp body portion configured to be coupled to the first clamp body portion, the second clamp body portion having a second clamp structure and the second clamp structure having a second generally semi-spherical floating bushing, wherein the second floating bushing includes an inside surface defining two generally planar end regions interconnected by at least an arched central region, the generally planar end regions of the first floating bushing opposing the generally planar end regions of the second floating bushing when the first clamp body portion is coupled to the second clamp body portion;
- and
- at least one drop-prevention structure coupled to at least one of the first clamp body portion and the second clamp body portion.
