The present invention provides a conduit clamp comprising means for securing a conduit such as a hose to another structure, a pair of jaws arranged to be clamped around a conduit, means on one side of a first jaw arranged to engage pivotally with complementary means on the corresponding side of a second jaw, means for closing the jaws into clamping engagement with a conduit which closing means comprises an open sided recess in one jaw, a locking pin mounted in an aperture in the other jaw and a lever pivotally attached to the locking pin, the arrangement being such that when the lever is moved to a first position the locking pin is released from and then pivoted away from the recess and when the lever is moved to a second position the locking pin is moved into the recess and then locked thereinto. The clamp of the present invention is particularly envisaged for sub-sea operation such as in oil drilling but it can be used for mining and industrial applications which are not underwater. |
