Claim 14

Clamp as in claim 12, wherein the two means for connecting includes a pair of bolts with at least two nuts each and a third nut or head per bolt, tightened against said arms so that a centrally positioned one of said nuts serves as spacer for each pair of interconnected arms.

Claim 15

Clamp as in claim 13, said means for fastening of the first clamp member and said means for cooperation being releasible hinge parts which together establish a hinge.

Claim 16

Clamp as in claim 14, said location being a depression in the first member.

Claim 17

Clamp as in claim 14, said means for fastening of the first clamp member and said means for cooperation being releasable hinge parts which together establish a hinge.

Claim 18

Clamp for pressure sensitive cable such as waveguides or the like which must not be deformed by the clamp, by means of which such a cable is to be fastened to and held and positioned on frames or other construction parts, comprising: a first, relatively rigid or stiff and inflexible member of semicylindrical contour and having a portion constructed for engagement with a flat support surface of a construction part, further having a flat arm extending from one azimuthal end of the member and provided for bolting, and a means at the opposite end provided for additional fastening; a second clamp member having two, relatively stiff and inflexible, cylindrically curved segments which define a semicylindrical contour and being joined by an outwardly bulging, corrugation like, flexible portion, the second clamp member having a flat arm extending from one azimuthal end of one of the curved segments of the second clamp member, and having a means for cooperation with the means for cooperation with the means for fastening of the first clamp member to connect the two clamp members together; stiffening corrugation like indents in transition zones between the curved portions of the second clamp member and respectively the flat arm and the means for cooperation of the second clamp; means for connecting the two arms together; and means for connecting the first member to the construction part.

Claim 19

Clamp for pressure sensitive cable such as waveguides or the like which must not be deformed by the clamp, by means of which such a cable is to be fastened to and held and positioned on frames or other construction parts, comprising: a first, relatively rigid or stiff and inflexible member of semicylindrical contour and having a portion constructed for engagement with a flat support surface of a construction part, further having a flat arm extending from one azimuthal end of the member and provided for bolting, and a means at the opposite end provided for additional fastening; a second clamp member having two, relatively stiff and inflexible, cylindrically curved segments which define a semicylindrical contour and being joined by an outwardly bulging, corrugation like, flexible portion, the second clamp member having a flat arm extending from one azimuthal end of one of the curved segments of the second clamp member, and having a means for cooperation with the means for cooperation with the means for fastening of the first clamp member to connect the two clamp members together; stiffening corrugation like indents in transition zones between the curved portions of the second clamp member and respectively the flat arm and the means for cooperation of the second clamp; means for connecting the two arms together; and means for connecting the first member to the construction part.

Claim 20

Clamp for pressure sensitive cable such as waveguides or the like which must not be deformed by the clamp, and by means of which such a cable is to be fastened to and held and positioned on frames or other construction parts, comprising: a first, relatively rigid or stiff and inflexible member or semicylindrical contour and having a portion constructed for engagement with a flat support surface of a construction part, further having a flat arm extending from one azimuthal end of the member and provided for bolting, and a means at the opposite end provided for additional fastening; a second clamp member having two, relatively stiff and inflexible, cylindrically curved segments which define a semicylindrical contour and being joined by an outwardly bulging, corrugation like, flexible portion, the second clamp member having a flat arm extending from one azimuthal end of one of the curved segments of the second clamp member, and having a means for cooperation with the means for fastening of the first clamp member to connect the two clamp members together; means for connecting the two arms together and being oriented so that the latter means and the flat arm of the first member are in line which has an angle of about 45° to a plane of engagement of the construction part and the first member at a location of the means for connecting the first member to the construction part; and means for connecting the first member to the construction part.
