Abstract
Abstract A securing member for a circular conduit-enveloping clamp wherein the securing member has a curvilinear saddle which engages a portion of the inner clamping surface of the clamp and a pair of leg portions integrally formed with the saddle and extending from opposed side edge portions thereof in a first downwardly and subsequently outwardly direction therefrom such that the leg members engage the surface onto which the clamp is to be secured, and an aperture in one of the leg members for receiving a fastener.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
154 words
A clamp-receiving member for use in securing a flat band of generally circular form to a plane surface, said member comprising a saddle portion having a curvature corresponding to that of such band, and adapted to lie smoothly against the inside of the band, a projection extending outwardly from each side of the saddle portion in a plane at right angles to the curved surface thereof, said projections lying on the convex side of the saddle, being spaced apart by a distance approximately equal to the width of the band, and being substantially equal in length to the thickness of the band and a surface-engaging portion extending outwardly from each projection in a direction at right angles thereto, said surface engaging portions being flat and lying in a common plane, and one of them being provided with an opening adapted to receive a securing means for fastening the securing member to a plane surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
154 words
A clamp-receiving member for use in securing a flat band of generally circular form to a plane surface, said member comprising a saddle portion having a curvature corresponding to that of such band, and adapted to lie smoothly against the inside of the band, a projection extending outwardly from each side of the saddle portion in a plane at right angles to the curved surface thereof, said projections lying on the convex side of the saddle, being spaced apart by a distance approximately equal to the width of the band, and being substantially equal in length to the thickness of the band and a surface-engaging portion extending outwardly from each projection in a direction at right angles thereto, said surface engaging portions being flat and lying in a common plane, and one of them being provided with an opening adapted to receive a securing means for fastening the securing member to a plane surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A securing device as in claim 1 wherein the said projections extend along only a part of the saddle so that the length of the saddle portion is greater than the corresponding dimension of the projections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
198 words
In combination, a clamp comprising a flat band of generally circular formation, adjustable means for engaging the ends of the band to draw them together and a securing member adapted to secure the clamp to a flat surface and comprising a saddle portion having a curvature corresponding to that of the band, said saddle member lying smoothly against the inside of the band, an outwardly extending projection on each side of the saddle portion, said projections lying in planes at right angles to the said curved surface, one projection lying closely adjacent to each side of the band, so that the band is snugly received between them, each projection terminating in a straight edge lying in a plane tangent to that of the outer surface of the band, and a flat securing portion extending from each said edge in a plane at right angles to that of the corresponding projection, so that when the flat portions are placed against a plane surface a portion of the band will be closely fitted between the saddle and the surface, one of said surface-engaging portions having an aperture adapted to receive a means for securing such portion to such a surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
198 words
In combination, a clamp comprising a flat band of generally circular formation, adjustable means for engaging the ends of the band to draw them together and a securing member adapted to secure the clamp to a flat surface and comprising a saddle portion having a curvature corresponding to that of the band, said saddle member lying smoothly against the inside of the band, an outwardly extending projection on each side of the saddle portion, said projections lying in planes at right angles to the said curved surface, one projection lying closely adjacent to each side of the band, so that the band is snugly received between them, each projection terminating in a straight edge lying in a plane tangent to that of the outer surface of the band, and a flat securing portion extending from each said edge in a plane at right angles to that of the corresponding projection, so that when the flat portions are placed against a plane surface a portion of the band will be closely fitted between the saddle and the surface, one of said surface-engaging portions having an aperture adapted to receive a means for securing such portion to such a surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
22 words
The combination as in claim 3 wherein the said projections extend along only a part of the corresponding dimension of the saddle.
