Abstract
A pipe hanger includes generally U-shaped upper and lower hanger parts, and a locking bolt for interconnecting the upper and lower part. The lower hanger part has a saddle portion for supporting a pipe. One of the arms of the upper hanger part has a hook formed on a lower end. The corresponding arm of the lower hanger part has an aperture that is arranged over the hook. The same arm of the lower hanger part has at its end a tilt limiting abutment. In an open state of the pipe hanger the lower hanger part can be suspended from the hook and is allowed to swivel until the tilt limiting abutment abuts the corresponding arm of the upper hanger part. The other arm of the lower hanger part has a bore for the locking bolt to lock the lower hanger part and upper hanger part in the closed position.
Claims12
A pipe hanger comprising an upper hanger part, a lower hanger part and a locking bolt, said upper hanger part being adapted to be mounted to a support member and having depending arms each having a bore through which the locking bolt extends, and said lower hanger part having a saddle portion for supporting a pipe and arms extending upwardly from the saddle portion, wherein in a closed state of the pipe hanger the depending arms of the upper hanger part are coupled to the corresponding arms of the lower hanger part,
- wherein one of the depending arms of the upper hanger part has a hook formed on a lower end, and wherein the corresponding upwardly extending arm of the lower hanger part has an aperture formed in it that is arranged over the hook;
- wherein the same upwardly extending arm of the lower hanger part has at its end a tilt limiting abutment, wherein in an open state of the pipe hanger the lower hanger part is only suspended from the hook and is allowed to swivel until the tilt limiting abutment abuts the corresponding depending arm of the upper hanger part;
- and
- wherein the other one of said upwardly extending arms of the lower hanger part has a bore for the locking bolt to lock the lower hanger part and upper hanger part in the closed position.
A pipe hanger comprising an upper hanger part and a lower hanger part, said upper hanger part being adapted to be mounted to a support member and having depending arms, and said lower hanger part having a saddle portion for supporting a pipe and having arms extending upwardly from the saddle portion, wherein in a closed state of the pipe hanger the depending arms of the upper hanger part are coupled to the corresponding arms of the lower hanger part,
- wherein one of the depending arms of the upper hanger part has a hook formed on a lower end, said hook having a transverse portion that extends from the depending arm of the upper hanger part in a transverse direction and having an upwardly extending portion that extends upwardly from the transverse hook portion and being spaced at a distance from said depending arm;
- and
- wherein the corresponding upwardly extending arm of the lower hanger part has an aperture formed in it that is arranged over the hook, wherein there is a distance between an upper edge of said aperture and an abutment located at the end of said upwardly extending arm, which distance exceeds said distance between the depending arm of the upper hanger part and the upwardly extending hook portion.
