ABSTRACT:
A connector, for releasably securing and supporting as many as three elongate elements such as tubing, piping and the like along mutually perpendicular axes. The connector comprises a first U-shaped member, having parallel spaced arms extending from a base, with aligned openings in the arms spaced from the base. The openings are shaped and sized to receive one of the elongate elements therethrough. A second elongate element may be inserted into the space between the arms of the U, the base portion of the U and the first elongate element, perpendicularly to the latter. A lock mechanism on the U-shaped member is provided to secure the elements in frictional engagement. A second U-shaped member having parallel spaced arms connected by a base has its base attached to the base of the first U-shaped member. The spaced arms of the second U-shaped member are shaped and dimensioned to engage the end of a third elongate element, which is held in position by a second locking mechanism.
