Clamping apparatus for use in joining two lengths of pipe to one another comprises a carrier or body adapted to be seated at one end of one pipe and to which is anchored one end of a flexible, elongate clamping chain which may be secured at any selected position along its length to the body so as to form with the latter a loop encircling the one pipe. Mounted on that portion of the clamping chain between the points of its connection to the body is a plurality of support members each of which is adjustable longitudinally of the chain. Each support member extends laterally of the chain to a position beyond the end of the one pipe section and is provided with adjustable supporting fingers that are adapted to engage and support the end of the pipe to be joined to the one pipe. An auxiliary, adjustable support may be connected to the body for assisting in the aligning and supporting of the two pipe lengths. |
