Integrally molded plastic clamping apparatus including a body portion having a plurality of recesses formed therein for receiving longitudinally extending members and including a mounting member and a hinge portion formed between the body portion and the mounting member and wherein the plastic of which said body portion, hinge and mounting member are integrally formed is sufficiently flexible to permit said body portion to pivot away from said mounting member by said hinge portion to permit said recesses to receive said longitudinally extending members and to permit said body portion to pivot toward and in engagement with said mounting members whereby upon a fastener extending through a bore formed in the body portion and an aperture formed in the mounting member and placed in engagement with a support surface the longitudinally extending members are clamped in said recesses and secured to the support surface; the clamping apparatus may also include a plastic tab formed integrally on the mounting member and being engageable with the body portion to maintain the body portion and mounting member together during mounting of the clamping apparatus and upon the clamping apparatus being mounted the tab provides a surface for engaging the outer free end wall of the body portion thereby preventing outward expansion of the free end wall and thereby maintaining the longitudinally extending members within the recesses.
