Claims21
A clamp assembly comprising:
- (a) a first clamp member having (i) a first c-shaped jaw comprising a concave inside surface, a convex outside surface, a first end, and a second end, (ii) a first flange, and (iii) an elongate slot having a first slot portion extending through a portion of the first flange;
- (b) a second clamp member, said second clamp member comprising an arm and a concave engagement surface, the arm adapted to reside within the elongate slot, said second clamp member coupled to the first clamp member and adapted for rotation relative to the first clamp member between an open position and a closed position;
- and
- (c) a wedge adapted to be inserted into the first slot portion to hold the second clamp member in the closed position.

- (a) a first clamp member having (i) a first c-shaped jaw comprising a concave inside surface, a convex outside surface, a first end, and a second end, (ii) a first flange, (iii) a first elongate slot having a first slot portion extending through a portion of the first flange and a second slot portion extending though a portion of the first c-shaped jaw, (iv) a second flange, and (v) a second slot extending through the second flange, wherein said first flange is adapted to be inserted into a first clevis such that the first slot portion is aligned with a first channel extending through the first clevis, and wherein said second flange is adapted to be inserted into a second clevis such that the second slot is aligned with a second channel extending through the second clevis;
- (b) a second clamp member, said second clamp member comprising an arm and a concave engagement surface, the arm adapted to reside within the elongate slot, said second clamp member coupled to the first clamp member and adapted for rotation relative to the first clamp member between an open position and a closed position;
- (c) a first wedge adapted to be inserted into the first slot portion and the first channel to lock the first and second clamp members in the closed position and the first flange to the first clevis;
- and
- (d) a second wedge adapted to be inserted into the second slot and second channel to lock the second flange to the second clevis.
