Abstract

A clamp having a body characterized by a pair of laterally open, V-shape seats extending along axes disposed in spaced apart, right angular relation. Opposite the seats are threaded openings which receive threaded screws lying along axes intersecting the apices of the V-shape seats, respectively, to engage a pair of structural elements resting upon the seats. Various sizes of rods and tubes can be secured together by the clamp in spaced apart, right angular relation. One version of the clamp provides a third seat for mounting of three structural elements by the clamp.
