Claims20
A clamp comprising:
- a body having an inner surface and an outer surface, the body configured to fit onto an object;
- a first side section integral with the body;
- a first flange integral with and extending from the first side section;
- wherein the first flange comprises a first flange aperture;
- a first protrusion formed in the inner surface at an intersection formed by the first side section and the first flange;
- a second side section integral with the body, the second side section positioned opposite the first side section;
- a recess formed in the body, that divides the body into a first portion and a second portion, and comprises an arcuate surface defining a radius of curvature and an axis;
- a bore extending through the outer surface of the first portion of the body and through the recess to the second portion of the body;
- the bore defines a bore axis oriented parallel with the first flange and perpendicular to the axis of the recess;
- the bore configured to receive a fastener to adjust a position of the clamp on the object;
- and
- wherein the clamp consists of a metallic alloy.
