Antivibration clamp for elongated objects
First Claim
1. An antivibration clamp for holding an elongated object, such as a pipe, comprising a base made of hard resin, and an object-holding portion made of hard resin and supported by the base, wherein the object-holding portion includes a curved wall connected integrally with the base to define a recess for receiving an elongated object therein, and a resilient holding finger extending obliquely from the top of the curved wall or its vicinity toward the recess of the curved wall to press against an outer surface of the elongated object when received in the curved wall, and wherein the curved wall has an inner wall surface formed with a plurality of elongated rigid ribs protruding inward and extending in the width direction of the curved wall, which is the longitudinal direction of the elongated object, while being spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the curved wall, and both the inner wall surface and the ribs of, the curved wall are coated with an antivibration material made of soft resin.

Abstract
An antivibration clamp comprises a base made of hard resin and an object-holding portion of hard resin supported by the base. The object-holding portion includes a curved wall defining a recess for receiving an elongated object, and a resilient holding finger extending obliquely from the top of the curved wall or its vicinity toward the recess of the curved wall to press against the outer surface of an object received in the curved wall. The curved wall has an inner wall surface on which a plurality of elongated rigid ribs are formed to protrude inward and extend in the width direction of the curved wall with the ribs being spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the curved wall. The inner wall surface and the ribs of the curved wall are coated with an antivibration material made of soft resin.

- 9. An antivibration clamp comprises an object-holding portion that includes a curved wall defining a recess for receiving an object to be clamped, the curved wall having a plurality of elongated ribs protruding inwardly from the curved wall and spaced apart circumferentially of the curved wall, the inner surface of the curved wall and the ribs being coated with an antivibration material that is softer than a material of which the curved wall and the ribs are formed.
