ABSTRACT:
A supporting assembly for energized tubing includes an elevated post joined to pairs of oppositely facing and laterally spaced apart upper and lower generally C-shaped clamp arms at its top end and to a base at its bottom end. A retainer member is connected to the base and includes a latch element engageable with catch elements on the base and which serve to both limit angular displacement of the base, post and clamp arms while temporarily alternately locking them in either an open or closed position. In the open position, a cable may be inserted between the spaced apart lower clamp arms and a larger diameter portion of tubing inserted between the spaced apart upper clamp arms. Thence, by angularly displacing the post and arms substantially 90 degrees, the pairs of clamp arms are moved into firm engagement with the tubing while captivating the cable therebeneath. With the assembly components constructed of a synthetic material exhibiting limited resilience, a positive biasing force is delivered upon a captive tubing and the assembly retained in a clamping mode by the latch element until a user desires to reverse the displacement to remove the tubing and cable.
