ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for securing together a non-linear array of at least three tubes positioned with their longitudinal axes extending parallel comprises a relatively rigid frame carrying first, second, and third cylindrical tube receiving and retaining recesses. Each recess is defined by a separate pair of opposed arms with at least one arm of each pair being resilient and deflectable in a radial direction relative to its respective recess. The arms in each pair have spaced end portions defining an entrance opening to the recess defined thereby. The entrance openings to the second and third of the recesses are generally aligned with tangents to imaginary circles having their center at the center of the first recess and a radius equal to the distance between the center of the first recess and the center of the recess of the respective second or third opening such that the apparatus can be installed by positioning the first tube in the first recess and then rotating the frame about the first tube to engage the second and third tubes into the second and third recesses.
