Abstract

A device for fixing pipes, in particular in the field of shipbuilding and offshore platforms, includes at least one clamp which includes first and second clamp parts, each having a recess which, when assembled, form a passage for receiving a pipe, in which passage at least three longitudinal ribs, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the pipe, are arranged, at a distance from one another, to support a received pipe. Two bracing rails are arranged; the first clamp part can be adjustably fixed to the first bracing rail and the second clamp part can be adjustably fixed to the second bracing rail; and the two bracing rails are connected opposite one another by braces for bracing the bracing rails, as a result of which the first and second clamp parts arranged opposite one another can be braced against a pipe received by the clamp.

Claims15

Dependent claims

A device for fastening pipes in place comprising at least one clamp that comprises a first clamp part and a second clamp part,

wherein the clamp parts each have a recess,
wherein the recesses, when assembled, form a passage for holding a pipe,
wherein at least three longitudinal ribs are arranged in the passage, at a distance from one another, for making contact with a held pipe, the ribs extending in the longitudinal direction of the held pipe,
wherein two bracing rails are arranged,
wherein the first clamp part of the at least one clamp is adjustably fixed in place on the first bracing rail, and the second clamp part of the at least one clamp is adjustably fixed in place on the second bracing rail,
wherein the two bracing rails are connected opposite one another by bracing means, by which the two bracing rails are braced relative to one another, and thereby the first and second clamp parts of the at least one clamp that are arranged opposite one another are braced against the held pipe held by the at least one clamp,
wherein the two bracing rails are each provided with perforations, wherein the first and second clamp parts, in each instance, have at least one fastening element that engages behind one of the perforations, penetrating through the perforation, and
wherein the clamp parts have two fastening elements that are configured in the form of spring tongues that lie opposite one another and have engagement projections, wherein the engagement projections each extend in the direction facing away from the opposite spring tongue, and engage behind the corresponding perforation.

wherein at least three longitudinal ribs are arranged in the passage, at a distance from one another, for making contact with a held pipe, the ribs extending in the longitudinal direction of the held pipe,
wherein two bracing rails are arranged,
wherein the first clamp part of the at least one clamp is adjustably fixed in place on the first bracing rail, and the second clamp part of the at least one clamp is adjustably fixed in place on the second bracing rail,
wherein the two bracing rails are connected opposite one another by bracing means, by which the two bracing rails are braced relative to one another, and thereby the first and second clamp parts of the at least one clamp that are arranged opposite one another are braced against the held pipe held by the at least one clamp,
wherein the clamping means comprise at least two tensioning anchors, each of which is guided through a perforation of the two bracing rails, as well as through a spacer block arranged between the bracing rails,
wherein the spacer block comprises a first block piece and a second block piece, wherein the first block piece is fastened to the first bracing rail and the second block piece is fastened to the second bracing rail, wherein the block pieces each have at least one fastening element that engages behind one of the perforations of the bracing rail, in each instance, passing through this perforation, and
wherein the block pieces have two fastening elements that are configured in the form of spring tongues arranged opposite one another and provided with engagement projections, wherein the engagement projections extend, in each instance, in the direction facing away from the opposite spring tongue, and engage behind the perforation, in each instance.
