Abstract
A hanger for supporting a rigid line. The hanger having a bracket with a means for supporting a pair of, for example, plastic guides rotatable between a first position and a second position. The guides accepting the lateral insertion of the rigid line between them in the first position and restraining the rigid line from lateral movement in a second position. A retainer link operating to maintain the rigid line between the guides when in the first position and to lock the guide retainers into place when in the second position.
Claims19
A guide clamp assembly of a hanger for supporting a rigid line on a support structure comprising:
- a bracket having means for removably connecting the guide clamp assembly to the support structure;
- a hinge pin inserted through a hinge pin hole in said bracket;
- and
- a guide rotatably supported by said hinge pin between a first position wherein the guide permits the rigid line to be moved in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the rigid line, and a second position to restrain the rigid line from movement in directions perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.
