Beam clamp

A beam clamp comprising:

• a pair of similar opposing clamp bodies that have a cross section on the interior surface of each said clamp body shaped like a “question mark” (?) and is arranged in an assembly where the opposing clamp bodies generally face and mirror each other wherein each clamp body continuously includes a to flat portion including a hole for a fastener the to flat portion generally defining a top flat portion plane, a middle portion of the clamp body angularly extending away from the flat portion plane and
• each said clamp body comprises a non-continuous hook portion comprising a plurality of hooks angularly extending from the middle portion towards the plane of the top flat portion and generally perpendicular to the plane of the flat portion of the body clamp, which captures and pivots around two outward facing parallel edges of a structure member;
• each said clamp body comprising a member passage located between said hook end portion and a pulling end and fully surrounded by the clamp body, and sized to capture an elongated object allowing said elongated object to pass through said member passage of each clamp body, wherein each said clamp body further comprises an interior gripping edge to engage the elongated object on the end of the passage opposite the non-continuous hook portion;
• and
• wherein said pulling end surrounds said elongated object and provides a means for a fastener, located above the elongated object and away from said structure member, wherein said fastener pulls said opposing clamp bodies toward each other, being restrained by the said non-continuous hook portion which pivots around the said outward facing parallel edges of the said structure member and causes the said interior gripping edge to pivot and bear against the said elongated object, clamping it against said structure member and wherein said gripping edge of said passage has a thickness of the pulling end.
