Abstract
A clamper (23) is inserted into a tube member (132) disposed in a tube plate (137) and clamps the tube member (132). Further, the clamper (23) includes a clamp mechanism (231) which has a contact portion (2311b) that contacts the tube plate (137) or the tube member (132) and inserts an insertion portion (2311a) into the tube member (132) so as to clamp the tube member (132) and a lifting and lowering mechanism (232) which lifts and lowers the clamp mechanism (231) in the insertion direction of the insertion portion (2311a).
Claims15
A clamper which clamps a subject clamping member, the clamper comprising:

A method of clamping a subject clamping member by a clamper, the method comprising:
- causing the clamper to clamp the subject clamping member and then a part of the other portion of the clamper to contact a position different from the position where the subject clamping member is clamped.
