Whats this called? (noob alert!)

I recently purchased these old Smith Victor light stands through craigslist and im not too happy with them
They are not quite stable and the connector that holds the pipes together is broken (what else can you expect from stands bought for $15 a piece)

Anyway, what do you call these clamp thingis and where do I find them?? I need 2 of them cause both my stands have this problem..

Apparently, it's called a "collar", at least that's what Smith-Victor calls it:

You might want to get in touch with the SV parts department to see if they can still provide parts for your particular stands.
