Fabricated heavy duty structural clamp

Abstract

A fabricated heavy duty structure clamp hanger uses a spacer block with a primary opening threaded hole accommodating a clamp screw. The block is secured between side plates each having a notch which extends beneath the hole so that a structure flange and the like may be inserted in the notch and clamped thereto by the screw. The clamp accommodates one or more threaded rods through other primary openings or holes, which may be in one or more spacer blocks. The blocks may be fabricated from laminations and the side plates may include at least two plates on each side. The structure is utilized with swaged or peened pins or projections extending through the side plates to provide a heavy duty hanger clamp having all of the advantages of castings but none of the problems and cost.
