Abstract:
A clamp assembly is provided for securing a panel or fairing to an I-beam, and comprises a pair of side blocks and a clamping block, together with a single bolt to secure them in place. Each of the side blocks as an inclined wedge surface, and the T-shaped clamping block has similarly sloped wedge surfaces along the sides of the leg of the T. When a bolt this passed through side legs of the side blocks, and through or under the clamping block, a sliding and wedging action between the inclined and sloped wedge surfaces occurs. Moreover, a clamping action between the top surface of the clamping block and the lower surface of the lower flanges of the I-beam is also induced.

Claim (Index 20):
A skirt assembly for attachment to an I-beam of a trailer, the assembly comprising:\n a fairing panel; a clamp sub-assembly, the clamp sub-assembly including first and second clamping jaws in opposing relationship to each other and a clamping block, the clamping block having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate block portion connecting the first end to the second end and interposed between the first and second clamping jaws, the first end having a panel-mounting surface adapted to abut the fairing panel proximate to an upper edge of the fairing panel, the clamping jaws adapted to move inwardly toward each other to bring the clamping block toward the I-beam disposed between the first and second clamping jaws until the intermediate block portion is in close spaced relationship to the I-beam; and a flexible strut, the flexible strut having a first end portion, a second end portion disposed opposite the first end portion, and an intermediate strut portion disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion, the first end portion joined to the second end of the clamping block, the second end portion disposed opposite the first end portion and including a panel mounting surface connecting to the fairing panel at a location spaced from the first end of the clamping block, and the intermediate strut portion including a curvature.
