Abstract
A clamping device comprises a body portion having a pair of parallel flanges secured to opposite sides thereof and a slot formed through one end of the body portion. A ring is pivotally mounted on the flanges and suitably sized to freely pivot over the one end of the body portion whereby a first end of a strap may be inserted through the ring and reverse folded under the strap. A second end of the strap is then inserted through the slot and is pulled to tighten the strap about an article, such as an insulated pipe. The point whereat the ring is pivotally mounted on the body portion is then pivoted into over-center relationship relative to the point whereat the second end of the strap engages the slot to superimpose the body portion over the second end of the strap to tightly clamp the same about the article.
