A wire rope clamp, shaped like a 'U' to embrace the rope's periphery, and with the rope-contacting inside surfaces of the U being wide enough to tend to flatten, rather than to bite into, the rope strands; the U being hinged in the region of its bend to allow it to be fitted over the rope at a given region along the rope's length without having to be slid along the rope from one end thereof; the opposite ends of the U being brought and held together, in clamping mode, by a fastener 23, 25 which, as it tightens, draws the U-ends together around the rope and which, like the U, can be opened to fit over the rope initially; and with respective locating bars 13, 14 projecting one from each opposite outside surface of the U. <IMAGE> |
