Abstract
Abstract Unitary members from which clamp apparatus for tubes and the like are assemblied. Each unitary member has rounded edge portions to seat a flexible grommet or a pipe, tube or the like, and can be interlocked end to end with a like unitary member to support a parallel array of pipes, tubes and the like. A weld nut may be fastened in each unitary member to enable an assembled clamp apparatus to be flush mounted on a support.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
86 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like which comprises a single base part, two support parts in substantially parallel planes and integral with said base part, each support part having a single rounded edge portion capable of seating a grommet, a pipe and the like, each base part and each support part having offset joint portions capable of interlocking with end portions of a like adjacent unitary member whereby said unitary members be fastened together end to end.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
86 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like which comprises a single base part, two support parts in substantially parallel planes and integral with said base part, each support part having a single rounded edge portion capable of seating a grommet, a pipe and the like, each base part and each support part having offset joint portions capable of interlocking with end portions of a like adjacent unitary member whereby said unitary members be fastened together end to end.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
52 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like as claimed in claim 1 wherein the offset joint portion of each support part is tapered to the base part whereby the offset joint portions can be interlocked with end portions of a like shaped unitary member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
62 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like as claimed in claim 1 wherein each rounded edge portion of each support part has a flange part capable of gripping a flexible grommet toward center portions thereof, whereby upon assembly a bulged portion is formed at center portions of said flexible grommet between the support parts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like as claimed in claim 1 wherein the rounded edge portions of the support parts are substantially semicircular and the support parts have flat edge portions capable of abutting with like flat edge portions of like support parts of a like opposing unitary member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
88 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like as claimed in claim 1 wherein holes are provided in the offset joint portions of the base part and said end portions of the base part so that the hole is an offset joint portion of the base part is concentrically superpositioned on the hole is said end portion of an adjacent unitary member when the unitary members are interlocked, whereby the unitary members can be bolted together to form the clamp apparatus.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
64 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like as claimed in claim 5 wherein a weld nut is concentrically fastened over a hole in said end portion of a base part of the unitary member whereby the bolt can be received into the weld nut and can be an assembled clamp apparatus flush mounted to a support.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
80 words
A unitary member used for assembling clamp apparatus to support tubes, pipes and the like as claimed in claim 1 wherein a hole is provided in each offset joint portion of each support part and a dimple is provided in end portions of each support part, whereby upon assembly, the dimples in said end portions of the support parts are seated in the holes in the offset joint portions of the support as parts of a like adjacent unitary member.
