摘要

There is described a clamp for embracing and joining together at least two elongate members between which relative sliding movement in a lengthwise direction of the members is to be accommodated; the clamp including a U-shaped bolt formed with two generally parallel arms joined by an intermediate bridge-portion and a saddle-shaped frontal plate formed with at least one longitudinal load-bearing surface and two outwardly extending planar flanges, each flange disposed at an acute angle with respect to the load-bearing surface to which one of the arms of the U-bolt is to be secured such that the arms of the U-bolt are each inclined at a common acute angle to a line drawn normal to the aforesaid load-bearing surface.
