Wire Clamp

A wire clamp for the joining together of members comprising:

• a coupler means having a substantially triangular cross section defining first, second and third major surfaces, said first surface being adapted to be placed on at least one of said members to be joined, and a pair of predeterminedly dimensioned passageways being provided between said second and third surfaces;
• wire means adapted to be located in a configuration to create a mating force on the members to be joined, each end of said wire means being routed through one of said coupler passageways and extending from one of said second and third surfaces,
• one end of said wire means being provided with a head, said head being of predetermined dimension to frictionally engage the coupler in the area contiguous with the aperture of the passageway through which said wire extends thereby securing said one wire end to said coupler, the remaining wire end being provided with a serrated surface;
• and
• thrust washer means for frictionally engaging said wire end serrated surface to prevent relative slippage between said wire end and said thrust washer, said thrust washer being pressed against, and retained by said coupler surface.
