Abstract
A clamp for disposing and securing a metal pipe or a resin tube having a relatively small diameter is disclosed. The clamp has a gripping wall for clamping a pipe, the gripping wall being formed by bending the longitudinally central portion of a rectangular piece of plate in the shape of a cylinder which extends laterally, and flat support walls which are defined by two end portions, respectively, of the piece of plate which are contiguous with the gripping wall, the support walls being superposed one upon the other and provided with respective mounting bores which are disposed so as to align with each other when the clamp is secured to a base. The clamp is provided with a clamping wall defined by a projecting end portion of one of the support walls which projects beyond the edge of the other support wall. The clamping wall clamps the second support wall when the first support wall is folded at the time of securing the pipe, the clamping wall having a bore which is provided so as to align with the mounting bores. Further, a bore or a notch is formed in the fold portion of the first support wall. Accordingly, there is no fear of the clamped pipe coming out of position or coming off the clamp during transportation or movement of the product kept in storage. Thus, it is possible to facilitate handling of the product and improve the operation efficiency by a large margin.
