Abstract (en)
[origin: WO9901692A1] A fixing member (20) for holding a pipe (10) to another member (40) comprises a bifurcated first section (22). The bifurcated first section (22) has two fingers (22a) which can be positioned adjacent an abutment surface (12, 36) on the pipe. The fingers (22a) are arranged one each side of the pipe (10). The second section (24) extends from the bifurcated first section and co-operates with the fixing part (18, 36) to inhibit separation of the pipe (10) from the other member. In a preferred embodiment both first and second sections are bifurcated. In another embodiment, one section is bifurcated and the other section comprises elongate arms with transversely directed locking surfaces which co-operate with the fixing part to hold the pipe in place. The fingers of the first bifurcated section may be joined by a loop defining an aperture so that the fixing member can be retained captive on the pipe during coupling and decoupling from the other member.
