ABSTRACT:
A rod has teeth serrated along the sides of its end sections or rolled thereon somewhat as a thread. The rod is bent thereafter into U-shape having an arcuate web which encompasses one-half of a circular element such as a pipe, collar or the like. A locking element or saddle has spaced apertures to receive the two serrated ends when moved thereover to advance spring fingers into engagement with the serrations. The fingers retain the locking element or saddle in locked relation on the U-bolt which is secured to a collar which is clamped on a pipe or the like. Such an arrangement eliminates the expensive casting which requires machining and the cost of advancing nuts on the thread on the legs to secure the saddle thereon.
