ABSTRACT:
A plastic tube bundle clamp for securing a plurality of elongated conduit elements such as wires, tubes, or pipes functions without destructive discontinuities in the working surface of the constrictive band. The encircling plastic band terminates in a pair of shoulders, each of which includes an integral, outwardly projecting jaw. When the jaws are compressively forced together, teeth engage one another to lock the clamp. The first jaw comprises spaced apart upper and lower elements which sandwich a first slot and the second jaw comprises an upper element spaced apart from a reduced width, lower element across a second slot. When the jaws are fitted together, the upper element of the second jaw is sandwiched within the first slot, and the lower element of the first jaw is substantially sandwiched within the second slot. The first jaw lower element comprises an elongated notch, preferably of a width substantially one-half the width of the band, which borders an elongated retainer wall, and the notch and the wall are integral with the substantially planar portion. The lower element of the second jaw has a width approximately half the width of the band, and it is matingly received within the notch, closely abutting the adjacent retainer wall, when the jaws are snapped together. The undersides of each jaw lower element smoothly unite to present a substantially circular, continuous bundle-containing surface which is free of destructive discontinuities.
