Conduit clamping device

A clamping device for securing a conduit to a support channel having a pair of spaced legs interconnected by a web with the conduit being disposed transversely to said channel and substantially adjacent the web thereof, comprising

• a pair of straps each having a curved portion for engaging a side of said conduit, a leg extending from one side of said curved portion, and a fastening element at the opposite side thereof;
• said leg of each strap having a generally U-shaped end for engaging the end of a respective one of said channel legs, said strap legs being disposed in parallel relation when the straps are in mounted conduit securing position;
• an abutment flange extending from each strap leg at an acute angle relative to its respective strap leg such that when said straps are mounted on said channel in opposed relation to a conduit said abutment flanges are interlocked with each other in side by side abutting relation for preventing outward separation of said strap legs;
• and
• means for securing said strap fastening elements to rigidly clamp said conduit between said strap curved portions and hold said abutting flanges in rigid engagement.

• said leg of each strap having a generally U-shaped end for engaging the end of a respective one of said channel legs;
• an abutment flange extending from each strap leg such that when said straps are mounted on said channel in opposed relation to a conduit said abutment flanges are positionable in side by side abutting and interlocked relation with each other for preventing outward separation of said strap legs;
• and said fastening element of each strap including a fastening flange extending from said curved portion, said fastening flange of each strap being formed with an aperture, a screw captively carried in the aperture of one of said straps for threadable engagement with the aperture of the other of said straps, and said aperture of each strap fastening flange being in slight off-centered relation to the strap such that when the straps are in mounted position said apertures are in skewed relation whereby tightening of said screw causes said strap curved portions to rapidly clamp a conduit interposed therebetween while maintaining said abutting flanges in rigid engagement.
