Abstract
A duct support device is provided. The device includes a clamp assembly having a channel dimensioned to removably secure to a support structure, wherein a width of the channel is selectively adjustable via actuation of a pair of clamp handles affixed to the clamp assembly. A first arm member is affixed to the clamp assembly at a proximal end of the first arm member. A second arm member is pivotally affixed to a distal end of the first arm member. A third arm member is perpendicularly affixed to a distal end of the second arm member. A brace is affixed to the third arm member parallel to a longitudinal axis of the third arm member, wherein the brace extends along a length of an upper side of the third arm member. In some embodiments, a fourth arm member is perpendicularly affixed to a distal end of the third arm member.

A duct support device, comprising:
- a clamp assembly having a channel dimensioned to removably secure to a support structure;
- wherein a width of the channel is selectively adjustable via actuation of a pair of clamp handles affixed to the clamp assembly;
- a first arm member affixed to the clamp assembly at a proximal end of the first arm member;
- a second arm member pivotally affixed to a distal end of the first arm member;
- a third arm member perpendicularly affixed to a distal end of the second arm member;
- and
- a brace affixed to the third arm member parallel to a longitudinal axis of the third arm member;
- wherein the brace extends along a length of an upper side of the third arm member;
- wherein the clamp assembly includes a base and a pair of wall members extending from opposing ends of the base defining the channel therebetween;
- wherein one of the pair of wall members is slidably disposed along the base and operably connected to the pair of clamp handles;
- and
- further comprising a groove disposed on an exterior surface of one of the pair of wall members;
- and
- wherein the groove is dimensioned to slidably receive the proximal end of the first arm member therein.
