Patent ID: 8028378

Claim:
A clamping device, comprising: a. a plurality of clamp segments, each clamp segment, comprising: i. an arcuate base having an interior side and an exterior side, ii. a first pair of sidewalls extruding radially inward from the interior side of the arcuate base, thereby defining an interior channel, wherein the first pair of sidewalls are tapered nearest the base, wherein the sidewalls are conformable to a fitting inside the interior channel, iii. a second pair of sidewalls extruding radially outward from the exterior side of the arcuate base, thereby defining an exterior channel, wherein the exterior side of the arcuate base further comprises a pair of lateral ledges defining a central groove, iv. wherein each clamp segment is integrally interconnected with at least one other clamp segment by a non-load bearing hinge, wherein the non-load bearing hinge has a length and a flexibility sufficient to allow for translational and rotational movement about and along the three primary axes, v. wherein a first clamp segment comprises a first free end, the first free end comprising a first pair of protuberances, vi. wherein a second clamp segment comprises a second free end, the second free end comprising a second pair of protuberances, vii. wherein the first and second pair of protuberances are abuttable to prevent over tightening of the clamping device in a closed position; and b. a cable tie comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end fastens to the second end, and wherein the cable tie is housed inside the exterior channel of each clamp segment and passed through a first cable guard at the first free end and a second cable guard at the second free end.
