Muffler clamp and method of making same

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A saddle member for a saddle clamp is generally U-shaped in cross section. Generally parallel side walls are spaced apart and have arcuate free ends. A base extends between the side walls opposite the free ends and end walls extend between the side margins of the side walls. me end walls include flanges on the side walls and the base and weldments that extend along substantially the entire lengths of the side-wall flanges to provide end walls that form continuous surfaces with both the side walls and the base.
