  • Patent number: 5829107
    Abstract: A clamp assembly having two side-by-side loops with inner peripheries for engaging the exterior of a part to be clamped, a body part, a tightening member, and means for releasably locking the tightening member at each of a plurality of longitudinal positions relative to a channel or shoulder of the body part or of the tightening member is disclosed. The body part is structurally integral with first adjacent ends of the two loops, while the tightening member is structurally integral with second adjacent ends of the two loops which are opposed to the first adjacent ends. One of the tightening member and the body part has a portion which is slidably received in a longitudinally extending channel which extends through the other. The relationships among the channel, the slidably received portion of the body part or of the tightening member, the tightening member and the loops are such that the size of the loops depends upon the relative longitudinal positions of the central part and of the channel.
