Abstract
A clamp assembly for securing elongate cylindrical members, such as pipe, tubing, conduit or hose, to a support surface. The clamp assembly comprises a split sleeve shock absorbing cushion and a U-shaped rod or bolt member. The cushion has an outer surface comprising a spaced pair of raised portions that form a saddle for the U-bolt rod member. When the U-bolt member is attached to the support surface the cushion is retainably engaged by the U-bolt and transmits the clamping force from the U-bolt across the full width of the inner surface of the cushion to the cylindrical member.
