ABSTRACT:
A clamp assembly including a tubular elongated member having a portion of its circumference relatively smooth and a portion having a fin array comprising fins formed along a base line of the tubular elongated member. The fins extend radially outward from their attachment to the elongated member and are bent alternately to diverge away from each other. A clamp device having a base and at one end from the base it is fastened to a structural panel member and the other end from the base has two legs with a first portion spaced apart a distance sufficient to receive the tubular elongated member therebetween. The legs have a second portion diverging outwardly from the first portion, a third portion reversely bent relative to the second portion and forming inwardly directed resilient fingers converging toward the base and each other with the fingers having free ends and inwardly directed projections located near the free end. The tubular elongated member is received between the two spaced apart legs of the clamp and retained therein by the fingers of the third portion with the projections positioned between the alternately bent fins in close proximity to the base line of the tubular elongated member.
