Nut and seat assembly for clamp

摘要

A nut and seat assembly is provided for a jaw clamp eg pivoted jaws. A nut 11 is tightened onto a bolt 15 which extends from one jaw 12. Another jaw 11 has a seat for the nut and a laterally-open aperture defined between prongs 27 to receive the bolt. As the nut is tightened formations 34 on the nut directly engage formations 31,36 on the seat to prevent movement of the prongs 27 away from the bolt. The clamp is particularly suitable for pipes and the bolt can be resiliently retained in the jaw 12.
