Abstract: An interlocked clamp for an elongated member such as a pipe, tube cable, or the like is provided. The two-part clamp is interlocked on one end and is secured by a fastener to a supporting surface on an opposite end. The two parts are interlocked by a T-shaped distal end of one of the clamp members that is received in an elongated slot formed in the other clamp member. A finger is provided that extends across the slot and secures the T-shaped distal end within the slot.

Abstract: In one basic form, at least one embodiment of the invention discloses an autoclave molding process to mold a part having a certain coefficient of thermal expansion, wherein the mold involves a sufficiently gas permeable material that serves as a mold foundation and that has a coefficient of thermal expansion that sufficiently matches that of the part to be molded (which may be relatively low), in combination with a two or three dimensionally isotropic, part molding element that also has a sufficiently matching coefficient of thermal expansion and that is made from short reinforcement fiber material, with the intended result that risk of unacceptable deformation such as breaking of the material to be molded is sufficiently abated.
