CLAMPING DEVICE FOR PIPE, CABLE OR OTHER ELONGATE ELEMENT AND FITTING APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

A clamping device (1) for fitting to a pipe (2) or the like is disclosed, having an elastic body that is a snap fit on the pipe and substantially encompasses it., so as to minimise the risk of the clamping device, being inadvertently detached from the pipe. Also disclosed is an apparatus (100) and method, for fitting the clamping device (1) to a pipe (2) by advancing it along a curved guide (102) that progressively opens the clamping device, fits it over and around the pipe (2), and locking it in position on the pipe.
