Abstract: An improved pipe clamp for securing a pipe to a structural member consists of two associated elements which are broadly similar, except for structural details peculiar to the several embodiments, and which are disposed on opposite sides of the pipe facing each other. The pipe is retained within the clamp by a double-interlocking snap lock common to all embodiments. Each element includes a locking edge extending parallel to the pipe and also includes a tab extending from the element in a plane perpendicular to the pipe. The tab is tapered by a ramp which is relieved by a recess to provide a hook for engaging the locking edge of the associated element. The hook is engaged by squeezing the ends of the elements together, causing their ramps to ride up on the locking edges of the associated elements until the locking edge of each element snaps into the recess of the other element to produce a double interlocking of the elements embracing the pipe.

Abstract: A pair of identical strap elements are provided, each of which comprises a first substantially planar rectangularly shaped end portion which is notched along its opposite edges to receive the inwardly turned edges of a channel member to which the pipe is to be clamped, a concave mid-section conforming with the curvature of the pipe and a planar opposite end portion which is initially formed with rectangular corners, but one of which corners is punched and bent inwardly at a right angle to the plane of the planar end portion to form a tab. The configuration of the punched-out tab is such as to provide a hooked end with the hook directed downwardly toward the concavity of the mid-section and an arcuate ramp leading to the cut-back in the end which forms the hook.
