1. A pipe clamp comprising:
first and second clamping members, each of which comprises a convex, outwardly facing surface and a flat inwardly facing surface, said first and second clamping members extending from a band member placeable around a pipe; first and second fastener plates having inwardly facing concave surfaces that abut against said convex, outwardly facing surfaces of said first and second clamping members, respectively; fasteners that pass through apertures formed in said first and second clamping members and apertures formed in said first and second fastener plates, each of said flat inwardly facing surfaces forming an acute angle with a longitudinal axis of each of said fasteners; first and second wedge portions extending respectively from said first and second clamping members in a direction away from said fasteners; at least one alignment projection extending from said first wedge portion and facing towards at least one of said fasteners; and at least one recess formed in said second wedge portion aligned with said at least one alignment projection so that after tightening of said fasteners, said at least one alignment projection is received in said at least one recess; wherein said at least one alignment projection comprises two straight sides from which extend slanted sides that terminate in a common rounded extremity, all of the straight and slanted sides being formed with rounded edges. |
