Abstract: A clamp and hoisting device serves the dual purpose of preventing a sleeve over a tubular or column like structure from sliding in an axial direction and also provides a connection point for a hoisting device. The device includes first and second arms composed of a plurality of arcuate links. Each arm is connected to an upper connector block and a lower connector block. The two arms are positioned over the tubular and the two lower connector blocks are secured to each other thereby forming a clamp. The upper connector block includes a connection point for attachment to a hoisting mechanism so that the clamp also serves as an attachment point for a hoisting mechanism.

Abstract: A clamp assembly and method for clamping an elongate member to a support member. The clamp assembly comprises a receptacle adapted to at least partially receive the elongate member, a pair of flexible support straps connected to the receptacle, and a pair of flexible clamping straps. The pair of flexible support straps are capable of matingly engaging one another around the support member and the pair of flexible clamping straps are capable of matingly engaging one another around the elongate member and the support member. The receptacle has a recess therein adapted to at least partially receive the elongate member. A pivotable buckle is attached to one of the flexible clamping straps for securely tensioning the pair of clamping straps around the elongate member and the support member. An adjustment assembly is attached to one of the flexible clamping straps.
