Portable pipe clamp
First Claim
1. A device for clamping of a flexible conduit, pipe or tube, which device may be fitted about the rungs of a ladder, with said device hooking over the horizontal rungs of a ladder installed in the vertical position, said device including two longitudinal support members joined by a cross member perpendicular to the two support members with the upper end, in the installed position of each support member, terminating in an open hook of a size to fit about a ladder rung and with each support member being fitted with an opened hook member at its rear of a size to fit about a second rung of a ladder to which the device is attached, together with a clamping device for clamping a pipe which is fixed to the two support members so as to lie generally parallel to a rung of an attached ladder, with the clamping device consisting of two opened angled members rotatably joined to each other, in which one of the clamp members is fixed to both support arms of the device with the other clamp member being fitted in rotatable relation to the fixed clamp member, with the rotatable clamp member being of shorter length than the fixed clamp member and with an undercut section of the fixed clamp member located adjacent to the end of the rotatable clamp member so that a pipe secured by both clamp members may be cut by a saw without the saw engaging the fixed clamp member.
