Abstract
A beam clamp includes a first end and a second end. The first end may be configured to grasp a structural member of a building. The second end may be configured to allow attachment of a clamp device configured to grasp at least one of a conduit, a pipe, a cable, and an object. The beam clamp is generally configured to be inserted around existing objects attached to the structural member of the building and enable attaching the at least one of the conduit, the pipe, the cable, and the object to the structural member of the building and avoid interference with the existing objects.
Claims20
A beam clamp comprising:
- a first end configured to grasp a structural member of a building;
- and
- a second end configured to allow attachment of a clamp device configured to grasp at least one of a conduit, a pipe, and a cable, wherein said beam clamp is configured to be inserted around existing objects attached to said structural member of said building, extend at an angle through said existing objects, and enable attaching said at least one of said conduit, said pipe, and said cable to said structural member of said building and avoid interference with said existing objects.
A system for supporting and securing a utility conduit to a structural member of a building comprising:
- a first end configured to grasp a structural member of the building;
- and
- a second end configured to allow attachment of a clamp device configured to grasp at least one of a conduit, a pipe, and a cable, wherein said beam clamp is configured to be inserted around existing objects attached to said structural member of said building, extend at an angle through said existing objects, and enable attaching said at least one of said conduit, said pipe, and said cable to said structural member of said building and avoid interference with said existing objects.
A method for supporting and securing a utility conduit to a structural member of a building, comprising:
- attaching a beam clamp to the structural member of the building, wherein said beam clamp comprises a first end configured to grasp the structural member of the building and a second end configured to allow attachment of a clamp device configured to grasp at least one of a conduit, a pipe, and a cable;
- attaching the clamp device to the second end of the beam clamp;
- and
- attaching at least one of a conduit, a pipe, and a cable to the clamp device, wherein said beam clamp is configured to be inserted around existing objects attached to said structural member of said building, extend at an angle through said existing objects, and enable attaching said at least one of said conduit, said pipe, and said cable to said structural member of said building and avoid interference with said existing objects.
