Pipe and cable clamp with base part and receiving strap

Pipe and cable clamp comprises a base part (1) having a planar first surface for attachment to a surface of a structural member (8) and an oppositely facing second surface, at least one generally arcuately shaped elongated receiving strap (2) extending laterally from and curving outwardly from said base part first surface in the direction extending from said first surface towards said second surface and having a free end (2a) spaced outwardly from said base part, at least one receiving space (4) formed between said receiving strap and a plane containing the planar first surface of said base part for receiving at least one of pipe and cable (5, 7) in said receiving space (4), wherein the improvement comprises that said receiving strap (2) having a first surface facing in the direction of said base part first surface and an oppositely facing second surface with a pair of laterally spaced edges bordering said first and second surfaces and a joint (3) spaced intermediate said base part and said free end (2a) and extending between said edges for affording a folding of a section of said receiving strap extending from said free end to said joint into said receiving space, said joint being formed by a cross-sectional reduction of said receiving strap extending from said second surface of said receiving strap towards said first surface thereof and transversely of the elongated direction of said receiving strap, said joint having a pivot axis extending parallel to a central axis (A) of the said receiving space (4) with the central axis extending transversely of the elongated direction of said receiving strap, said first surface arranged to directly contact at least one of the pipe and cable, and said edges extending transversely of said central axis whereby said folding section is adapted to be in a arcuate configuration of said receiving strap in a first position for a first size pipe or cable and in a folded configuration below said receiving strap in a second position for receiving a reduced size pipe or cable.
