Fi ure 11 member is iFixure 12 shows a side view of member used inthisconstruction. Referring to the drawing:
While we have herein illustrated and described the clamp as being made from sheet metal stampshows the made g I the clamping struction, as it may portion 01' the pieces.
In Figures 1 to 6 inclusive, we have shown our clamp as comprising a body or yoke member formed with a head and the depending integral arms Ii of which are formed with the slots or openings -i l for the wires ing thickened and having a transverse hole It which is threaded, for the locking screw 20.
The edges of the openings H. in the arms II are formed with the flanges I 2 i'orthe purpose of increasing the width 01 may be V-shape' d i1 desired.
The clamping member I3 is designed to ably mounted between the parallel arms i is also formed with an opening size and shape as the openings be slidaudit toresister with when the clamping member I! the wires For the purpose of-guiding the movement 01' the clamping member within the arms II 01' the body member and to limit its outward movement ving member Ware formed with the cut-out 'portions or notches l8, and the body member arms l5 which after the insertion of the clamping member I 3 within the 1 member are bent inward or at right angles blank i'rom which the body 16.

Also the opening is within the clamping membe open on the lower end, as this has no clampingaction upon the wires I6, and it may be desirable to have this end open.
Further it may also be in somecases desirable by providing both the'body member the clamping member II with a cut out portion in one side through which the wires maybe inserted.
The edges of the openings H of the bodymemher arms may be flanged on the -enti as shown or upon the inner o posi'ns faces; in. latter case, they may be" employed guides for the ciamp s member II,
Having thus described our invention. claim and desire to secure by Let rs Patient, is: 1.
