Abstract
A clamp (50) to enable the location of an article, such as a hanging basket, relative to a member, such as a brick, having a pair of spaced surfaces, the clamp having a pair of arms (51, 52) which may be generally parallel and which have a spacing which can very from a spacing which is greater than the distance between the surfaces to a spacing less than this, means (58) to cause the spacing to be reduced when the arms (51, 52) are adjacent each of the surfaces, to firmly locate the clamp (50) relative thereto, and means (61) on the clamp (50) to permit connection of the article thereto.
Claims17
A clamp to enable the location of an article relative to a member having a pair of spaced surfaces, the clamp having a pair aims which have a spacing which can vary from a spacing which is greater or less than the distance between the surfaces to a spacing less or greater than this, means to cause the spacing to be reduced or creased when the arms are adjacent each of the surfaces and means on the clamp to permit connection of the article thereto.
A clamp as claimed in any previous claim wherein the ends of each of the arms is in-turned to enable good purchase on the surfaces.
A clamp as claimed in any preceding claim wherein each arm is formed from and angle member, the other flange of which is directed inwardly of the surfaces, the arrangement being such that the angle members abut the surfaces and an additional surface which is effectively normal to the two surfaces.
A clamp as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the faces of the arms which engage the surfaces have a resilient pad thereon.
A clamp as claimed in any preceding claim wherein there is an extension from the clamp to receive the article to be carried by the clamp.
A clamp as claimed in any preceding wherein the surfaces are surfaces of a brick or block.
