Abstract
A clamp for scaffolding and temporary building and similarly acting fittings in which the curvatures of the pipe carrier and the pipe holder forming the clamp for receiving and holding the pipes are determined at a substantially intermediate value among the curvatures of the pipes of different diameters and a bolt embracer provided at the free end of the pipe holder is substantially directed to a radial direction of the circle formed by the pipe carrier and the pipe holder of the clamp, thereby averting the nut from slipping off the bolt embracer and securing a positive clamping effect.
Claims21
A clamp for pipes and similarly acting fittings, the clamp comprising a pipe carrier movably supporting a bolt and a pipe holder having an embracer for receiving the bolt and hinged to the pipe carrier, the pipe holder and pipe carrier when closed together defining a generally circular opening in which a pipe is supported, said clamp being characterized in that
- said pipe holder is provided at its one end abutting said pipe carrier with a stopper means for sustaining said pipe holder at approximately a right angle to said pipe carrier to maintain the clamp open, and at its opposite end with said embracer for receiving and fixing the bolt, said embracer being directed in a radial direction of the circular opening, and said pipe carrier and the pipe holder having pipe-support, curved surfaces of different radii of curvature, whereby the clamp can supportably receive pipes of differing diameters.
