A clamping device () comprises a body (), a clamping arrangement () in the body for clamping a flexible elongate member (). A first cooperating formation () cooperates with a second cooperating formation (). The second cooperating formation is part of a support arrangement () to support the clamping device. The first cooperating formation comprises a pair of opposed side portions (A) and a bridging portion (B) extending between the side portions.

Clamping devices

A securing device () for securing an article is disclosed. The securing device comprises a main shaft portion () and a securing portion () on the main shaft portion. The securing portion is a substantially helical elongate portion defining a central space (A). Holding devices (), drive transmission devices () and indicating devices () can be used with the securing device.

Securing device

Anchoring device

A ground stabilizing device () comprises a securing arrangement () and a load spreading arrangement () on the securing arrangement. The securing arrangement defines a through passage () for an elongate article (). The securing arrangement comprises a guide member () extending towards the passage, and a clamping assembly (). The clamping assembly is movable along the guide member towards the passage to clamp the elongate article in the passage and secure the elongate article to the ground stabilizing device.

Ground stabilising device

A device for use on palletized loads of containers for maintaining tension in vertical strapping comprises a rectangle () having outer dimensions commensurate with the dimensions of a pallet or dolly on which. containers are to be stacked in layers, each side of the rectangle comprising upper and lower leaves (L,L) diverging from hinge means at the inner edge of the side, the lower leaves (L) of all four sides being disposed in a common plane, and spring means () urging the outer edges of the upper and lower leaves apart. In one form of the device () the sides of a pair of rectangular frames () constitute the upper and lower leaves (L,L) and conical coil compression springs () are provided between the frames to urge them apart, tethering means () adjacent the inner edges of the frames being such as to form the hinge means between the leaves, while tethering means () adjacent the outer edges of the frames limit the extent to which the leaves (L,L) are caused to diverge. In other forms the spring means is integral with the hinge means.
