Abstract (en)
A clamp assembly is provided for securing an ancillary device (16) to a standing seam (8) interconnecting metal panels (4, 6), the standing seam comprising a protruding web portion (10) with a head portion (12) at an outer extremity thereof. The clamp assembly comprises: a body member (54); first and second arms (58, 60) extending from the body member, at least one of the arms being pivotally interconnected with the body member at at least one hinge means (62, 64), the first and second arms having free end regions (70, 72); a spreader member (20) formed with an aperture (22) and with first and second protrusions (24, 26) on one face thereof; and threaded fastener means (86) passing through the aperture in the spreader member and engaging in a complementary threaded aperture (88) in the body member. As the threaded fastener means is tightened so as to move the spreader member towards the body member, the first and second protrusions engage with an inner surface of a first end region (74, 76) of each of the arms so as to urge the first end regions apart and to urge a second end regions together to clamp against the protruding web of the standing seam.
