Abstract
A pipe clamp comprising two clamp segments mounted at an attachment component, these clamp segments can be detachably connected with one another when assuming their closed position. The clamp segments are anchored at the attachment component by means of a respective hinge disposed between their end sections. At the ends of the clamp sections which face away from the attachment component, these clamp segment-ends possess cooperating parts of a locking means for releasably connecting such clamp segments with one another.
Claims9
A pipe clamp for clamping a pipe comprising:
- an essentially rigid attachment component including a pair of essentially rigid protruding arms with end portions terminating at respective hinge means;
- a pair of clamp segments capable of being releasably interconnected with one another carried by said protruding arms;
- each clamp segment having upper, lower and intermediate sections;
- hinge means positioned between said end portion of each protruding arm and said intermediate section of said clamp segment for pivoting said clamp segment with respect to said protruding arm when said lower section of said clamp segment is engaged by said pipe being clamped;
- said upper section of each clamp segment which faces away from the attachment component having its end provided with a locking part cooperating with the locking part at the end of the other clamp segment;
- said cooperating locking parts providing locking means for releasably interconnecting said clamp segments,
- said locking means being automatically actuatable by the insertion of said pipe into said clamp segments whereby said inserted pipe is engaged in secured relationship within said clamp segments.
