US 2026/0109005 A1 · Lateral Attachment Clamps

Abstract

Lateral attachment clamps are described. In an example, a lateral attachment clamp includes an engagement region that is attached at an angle to a clamp region. The engagement region includes a partial mounting aperture with an opening that is dimensioned to align with a vertical axis in a first orientation of the lateral attachment clamp and intersect with the vertical axis in a second orientation of the lateral attachment clamp. The vertical axis, for instance, is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the clamp region when the lateral attachment clamp is disposed in the second orientation. In an example, the vertical axis is a vertical axis of an adjacent member. Accordingly, the lateral attachment clamp is configured to attach to an intermediate portion of the member to achieve a variety of different working positions and scenarios.

A lateral attachment clamp comprising:

a clamp region including a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the clamp region including a clamp component, a longitudinal axis of the clamp region extending between the proximal end and the distal end;
and
an engagement region including a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the engagement region attached at an angle to the distal end of the clamp region, the engagement region including a partial mounting aperture disposed between the proximal end and the distal end of the engagement region, the partial mounting aperture including an opening dimensioned to align with a vertical axis in a first orientation of the lateral attachment clamp and intersect with the vertical axis in a second orientation of the lateral attachment clamp, the vertical axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the clamp region when the lateral attachment clamp is in the second orientation.

A lateral attachment clamp assembly comprising:

a first lateral attachment clamp having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end including a first engagement region including a first partial mounting aperture, the first partial mounting aperture dimensioned to attach the first lateral attachment clamp to an intermediate portion of a member while in a first orientation and affix the first lateral attachment clamp to the intermediate portion in a second orientation, the proximal end including a first clamp region including a clamp component with a first jaw, the first jaw located in a first transverse plane when the first lateral attachment clamp is in the second orientation;
and
a second lateral attachment clamp having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end including a second engagement region including a second partial mounting aperture, the second partial mounting aperture dimensioned to attach the second lateral attachment clamp to a different intermediate portion of the member while in a first orientation and affix the second lateral attachment clamp to the different intermediate portion in a second orientation, the proximal end including a second clamp region including a second jaw located in a second transverse plane when the second lateral attachment clamp is in the second orientation, the second transverse plane substantially parallel to the first transverse plane.
