Abstract

An apparatus for collectively fixing a plurality of pipes (e.g, metallic pipes, resin tubes, etc.) with a relatively small diameter, each having a bent portion, by means of a plate-shaped clamp member having a sectorial clamping wall portion having a substantially U-shaped cross-section and a mounting wall portion which is secured to a base member, the mounting wall portion being formed by diametrically extending one end portion of one side wall of the clamp member, so that the bent portions of the pipes which are disposed side by side within one plane are clamped in a lump by means of the clamping wall portion in such a manner that the bent portions are snugly engaged with the circularly curved portion of the clamping wall portion, thus effectively and reliably fixing the pipes in a lump without any fear of the fixed pipes being displaced axially or circumferentially or being collapsed.
