ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a clamp for firmly connecting to a bar joist flange and other flanged structures, and a method for manufacturing the clamp. The clamp includes one or more yokes and a locking bar that is captured within the yoke(s) by a pair of set screws which also engage the flange. The side walls of the yoke(s) include aligned slots for receiving the flange and aligned openings for receiving the locking bar. In one form, the clamp includes one yoke with openings through an end wall for the set screws. In another form, the yoke side members are U-shaped and the set screws extend between the inner and outer side walls of each side member. In yet another form, the set screws extend between the side walls of an inner yoke and the side walls of an outer yoke of the clamp. The clamp of the invention can be used for bracing pipes and other loads, suspended below ceilings and floors, against sway and seismic disturbances.
