ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for maintaining a tubular workpiece in position on a support, such as a ladder or the like, preferably comprises a pair of bodies adapted for connection to the support, with one of the bodies being positioned on either side thereof, such as to the stiles of the ladder. A clamping assembly including a clamping plate secures the bodies to the ladder stiles in a predetermined position on the ladder and at a predetermined angular orientation. Each body is provided with an upwardly facing slot having a width which decreases toward the lower portion of the body, with the slots being adapted to receive the workpiece therein. Downward movement of the workpiece into the slots results in frictional engagement of the workpiece with the slot walls to secure the workpiece in position. The workpiece is removed by exerting an upward force thereon and disengaging the workpiece from the slot walls.
