ABSTRACT:
An improved pipe clamp for securing a pipe to a structural member consists of two associated elements which are broadly similar, except for structural details peculiar to the several embodiments, and which are disposed on opposite sides of the pipe facing each other. The pipe is retained within the clamp by a double-interlocking snap lock common to all embodiments. Each element includes a locking edge extending parallel to the pipe and also includes a tab extending from the element in a plane perpendicular to the pipe. The tab is tapered by a ramp which is relieved by a recess to provide a hook for engaging the locking edge of the associated element. The hook is engaged by squeezing the ends of the elements together, causing their ramps to ride up on the locking edges of the associated elements until the locking edge of each element snaps into the recess of the other element to produce a double interlocking of the elements embracing the pipe.
