摘要： A full or half clamp for supporting a pipe from a mounting surface includes a plastic body portion having an arcuate recess with an arcuate length in excess of 180.degree. and opposite ends that are relatively thin and flexible to facilitate snap fitting of a pipe into the recess. A pivotable arm is integrally connected to the body portion of the full clamp by a hinge formed by a notch in an outer wall of the body portion. The arm includes an arcuate recess forming a continuation of the recess in the body portion when the arm is moved into engagement with the body portion. A plurality of circumferentially spaced, longitudinally extending plastic projections are provided on the inner wall of the recesses in both the body portion and arm for gripping the exterior surface of the pipe. One of the projections is located on the arm immediately adjacent the hinge to provide a well defined hinge line for the arm. The half clamp is desirably substantially identical in shape to the main body portion of the full clamp except that the hinge of the full clamp is eliminated from the half clamp, and the projection on the arm that is immediately adjacent the hinge of the full clamp is incorporated as part of the half clamp. This has the advantage that the same mold that is used to mold the full clamp can also be used to mold the half clamp simply by removing an insert that is used to form the hinge in the full clamp and by placing another insert in the mold to eliminate the portion of the arm beyond the projection immediately adjacent the hinge.

摘要翻译： 用于从安装表面支撑管子的全或半夹具包括具有弓形长度超过180度的弓形凹部的塑料主体部分，并且相对端部相对较薄且柔性以便于将管道卡入配合到凹部中 。 可枢转臂通过由主体部分的外壁中的凹口形成的铰链整体地连接到完全夹具的主体部分。 所述臂包括弓形凹部，当所述臂移动成与所述主体部分接合时，所述弓形凹部形成所述主体部分中的所述凹部的延续。 多个周向间隔开的纵向延伸的塑料突起设置在主体部分和臂部中的凹部的内壁上，用于夹紧管道的外表面。 其中一个突起位于靠近铰链的臂上，以提供用于手臂的良好定义的铰链线。 期望半夹具的形状与全夹具的主体部分大致相同，不同之处在于，全夹具的铰链从半夹具中消除，并且紧邻完全夹具的铰链的臂上的突起是 作为半夹具的一部分。 这具有的优点是，用于模制全夹具的相同模具也可以用于仅通过去除用于在完整夹具中形成铰链的插入件并且将另一个插件放置在模具中来模制半夹具 消除臂的部分超出紧邻铰链的突出部分。
