Specification of Letters Patent. 'Patent edJune 29, 1920.

Application filed September 12, 1919. Serial No. 328,373.

two articles such as rods, tubes, pipes, cables,-

ropes, etc. either circular or angular in-cross section. The particular novel feature of my device to which I desire to call attention is the fact that it is so constructed that the articles to be held may be secured by means of my device, when they are disposed either parallel or at right angles one tothe other. Thus it will be seen that my improved holder is of great utility for the temporary installation of pipes, rods, cables, etc., inasmuch as it permits great latitude of adjustment, serving to hold the articles in a variety of desired positions.

My invention is clearly illustrated in the device disclosed in the drawings and hereinafter fully described, but I desire to have itunderstood that the said device is but a single embodiment of my invention, and I] refer to the claims herewith submitted for the statement of the nature and character of my invention.

In the drawings:

Fi ure 1 is a side view of my device on the l1ne'1--1 of Fig. 2, illustrating it applied to two articles disposed at right angles to each other.

Fig. 2 is atop view of my device on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a side view of my device, similar to Fig. 1, illustrating it applied to two articles parallelly disposed to each other.

In the drawings:

A indicates the body portion of the device from which extend the two parallelly disposed hooks B and C, forming a throat therebetween. The shanks of these hooks B and C are so extended from the body portion A as to afford a passageway between them, disposed at ri ht angles to the throat be tween the hooks B and C. The curves of the hooks B and C" being oppositely disposed, the hooks B and C are adapted to pass about the opposite sides of an article interposed through the said passageway. An

opening to this passageway is afforded between the end B of the hook B and the jaw A extending from the body portion A, and another opening to this passageway is afforded between the end C of the hook C and the jaw A extending 'from the body portion A. At the inner end of the throat between the hooks B and C, there is a semic rcular bearing surface D in the body por tion A. At the inner side of the transverse assageway between the shanks of the hooks and C, there is a semicircular bearing surface D in the body portion A. The body portion A may be provided with a transverse screw clamping member E provided with the operating handle B, so disposed as to pass through the body portion A, the bearing surface D and the bearing surface D and adapted to clamp the device upon articles interposed through the throat and passageway.

From the foregoing description of the parts of thedevice, its use Wlll be readily. apparent. As indicated in Figs' 1 and 2, an. article G may be encircled by the hooks B and C. This is accomplished by placing the, device so that the article G is situated within the throat. The device is then given a quarter turn. The openings between the ends B C and the jaws A, A permit the article G to enter and be situated in the transverse passageway. The device is then slightly retracted and the hooks B and C pass around the opposite sides of the article G. Thus the article G closes the throat.

The article F is then inserted through the throat between the article G and'the body portion A. The article G is now held in the curves of the hooks B and C and the article F is held in the'semicircular bearing surface D. The screw clamping member E may then be advanced and cause the articles F and G to be securely clamped at right angles claim is:
