Abstract
A clamp for clamping pipes, especially but not exclusively for combustion engine supply pipes, comprises a body (1) with at least two housing seats (2) which are adjacent and provided with two sidepieces (102, 202) which encompass a pipe (3) laterally. A coupling notch (4) for a catch-type distance piece (5) is provided between the adjacent sidepieces (102, 202) of two adjacent housing seats (2), the catch-type distance piece being borne by a clamping bracket (6) which can be clamped against the body (1) itself. According to the invention the catch-type distance pieces (5) and at least one of the associated external surfaces of at least one sidepiece (102, 202) have respectively at least a complementary tooth (105, 302) or respectively a tooth and a complementary reciprocal clamping notch. The catch-type distance pieces (5) and at least one of the two adjacent sidepieces (202) are advantageously provided with cooperative toothed portions (105, 302) which are matching or complementary and in the manner of the teeth of a saw, whilst the toothed portion (105) of the catch-type distance pieces is directed with the less steep sides in the coupling direction and the toothed portion (302)…
