Abstract
A clamp for removable attachment to tubing or the like including two components oriented relative to each other for removable engagement therebetween. The clamp may include one or more fasteners to provide for secure and removable attachment of the two components together, and for securing itself to the tubing or the like. In example embodiments, the two components may be substantially identical to each other, and reorienting them relative to each other permits removable engagement therebetween. One or more components or supports may be permitted for engagement with one or more clamps for supporting or temporarily securing items or other desired devices thereto.
Claims20
A mounting assembly for removable attachment to a support structure, the mounting assembly comprising a first bracket and a second bracket, each bracket comprising a clamping portion and a coupling portion;
- wherein the clamping portion of each bracket comprises a clamping surface configured for engagement with a segment of a perimeter of the support structure such that in a coupled position the clamping surfaces of the brackets are complimentary to an outer profile of the support structure;
- and
- wherein the coupling portion of the first bracket permits removable coupling engagement with the coupling portion of the second bracket so as to provide frictional engagement of the clamping surfaces with the perimeter of the support structure and so as to prevent rotational movement of the mounting assembly relative to the support structure.
A mounting assembly for removable attachment to a support structure, the mounting assembly comprising a first bracket portion and a second bracket portion, the first bracket comprising a clamping portion and a pair of male coupling portions, and the second bracket portion comprising a clamping portion and a pair of coupling portions configured to receive the coupling portions of the first bracket,
- wherein a clamping surface of each bracket is configured for engagement with a half of a perimeter of the support structure such that in a coupled position the clamping surfaces of the bracket portions are complimentary to an outer profile of the support structure, and
- wherein the first and second brackets are configured for detachable coupling with one another so as to provide frictional engagement of the clamping surfaces with the perimeter of the support structure and so as to prevent rotational movement of the mounting assembly relative to the support structure.
A mounting assembly for removable attachment to a support structure, the mounting assembly comprising a first bracket and a second bracket, each bracket comprising a clamping surface and a pair of engagement faces,
- wherein the clamping surface of each bracket is configured for engagement with a portion of a perimeter of the support structure such that in a coupled position the clamping surfaces of the brackets are complimentary to an outer profile of the support structure,
- wherein when the mounting assembly is in a coupled position, the engagement faces of the first bracket portion are in contact with the engagement faces of the second bracket portion, wherein the engagement faces are coupled by a male end and a female end, the male end comprising a threaded fastener and the female end comprising a receiver for receiving the threaded fastener and a passageway for securing a threaded nut to the threaded fastener,
- wherein the clamping surfaces frictionally engage with the perimeter of the support structure and prevent rotational movement of the mounting assembly relative to the support structure.
