  • Publication number: 20200240550
    Abstract: A hinged clamping bracket for at least one tubular article. The bracket for at least one tubular article includes lower and upper separable members which are complementarily shaped to define at least one cylindrical clamping housing for receiving the tubular article and a hinge pivotally connecting the members for relative rotating movement. More specifically, the lower and upper members include respectively lower and upper articulating portions each provided with a seat defining a substantially semi-cylindrical receiving space and forming respectively lower and upper articulating parts of the hinge, thereby forming a rotatable pivot assembly with the tubular article in the clamping bracket assembling position in which the two separable members are rotationally articulated about the tubular article acting as the pivot axis of the hinge.

  • Patent number: 10364919
    Abstract: Invention relates to a manufacturing process for making a bracket and subset assembly, process including: step (a) of placing bracket within a forming tool and putting between first portion of said bracket and second portion of said bracket a subset having a tube element and an elastic pad, step (b) of actuating the forming tool for plastically deforming the bracket so the first and second portions of the bracket come closer one to the other and press subset, thus gripping subset between the first and second portions of bracket, and during the step of actuating the forming tool for plastically deforming bracket, step (c) of using a propping spacer, distinct from the subset, for stopping the second portion of the bracket at a predetermined clamping distance from the first portion of the bracket, to secure the subset without crushing it.
