Abstract

To interconnect clamps used for holding pipe, cable and the like, a detent is provided extending outwardly from one side surface of the clamp while a complementary opening is formed in the opposite side surface. The detent fits into the opening formed in another clamp for securing the two clamps together. The detents are shaped to provide a releasable interfit with the openings. Each side surface can include both a detent and an opening. The detents and openings or recesses can be provided at the junction of the side walls and base of the clamps.
