Pipe clamp structures

摘要

The invention is a tube clamp which is used to connect a first pipe to another pipe. The invention can be used, for example, to add a pipe extension to the exhaust pipe used on a car. The tube clamp is made from a plate having a first and second flat portion, each having a hole wherein said holes are equal. The holes are connected by a slot and the plate has first and second flanges surrounding and remote from the hole in the first and second portions of the plate. The plate is transversely bent between the first and second flat portion to a degree to form a connector passage, the plate being bent so that the first and second flat portions are in contact with each other and said holes are substantially coaxial with the first and second flanges directed away from each other. Connector means selected from the group of rivets or welds connects the first and second flat portions. A connector means going through a connector passage connects the pipe flange.
