Abstract

A stationary clamping device for fast attachment of a tubular article such as a metallic tube, a resinous tube, or a wire harnessing member to a basal surface comprises a clamp proper formed of a platelike fitting wall possessing a fitting hole intended for union of the clamp proper and the basal surface and a socket member of a small length made of a thermally shrinking material and adapted to tack the engaging wall and the end part jointly in an enclosed state. The fast attachment is attained by setting the tubular article on the engaging wall, collectively tacking the set portion of the tubular article and the immediate vicinity thereof with a socket member of thermally shrinking material, and heating the socket member or the set components thereby causing thermal shrinkage of the socket, contraction of the tacked components, and immobilization of the tubular article.
