Abstract
An elastic pipe clamp having a lower yoke, a fastener foot or the like for anchoring the lower yoke to a fixed surface and a cooperating upper yoke, the pipe being securely held between the yokes when they are locked together in a positive manner. A hinge-band pivotally connects one end of the upper yoke to one end of the lower yoke and mutually engaging locking hooks are provided on the opposite ends of the yoke from the hinge band for locking the yokes together. At least two (2) beaks on the hinged end of one of the yokes curve inwardly with respect to and over the hinge-band, the beaks being adjacent to the outer edges of the yoke with their outer arcs being tangent to the inside wall of the yoke. Cooperating recesses are provided in the other yoke that are open on their outer sides and have upper and lower walls with a radius curvature similar to the curvature of the beaks, whereby the beaks substantially fill the recesses when the clamp is closed.
