Abstract
A twistable wire clamp for connecting objects has a V-shaped configuration, the lower portion of each of its two shanks forming an oblong loop having locking means consisting of the closed end of the narrower loop, on one hand, and of a locking member projecting towards the inside of the wider loop and extending in the same plane as the loop, on the other hand. On each side of the transitional portion between said two shanks, said clamp is provided with a respective shoulder. Said clamp is placed, by means of an apparatus, around the objects to be connected or the opening to be closed, after which said locking means are brought into engagement with one another by said apparatus, and said wire clamp is seized in the area of said transitional portion and twisted by a binding hook of the apparatus. Said loops are convex with respect to their plane, and said closed end portion has a thinning and is bent over towards said other loop. Such a wire clamp provides reliable operation of the apparatus when effecting connections.
