## Abstract

A pipe support for supporting pipes on a building surface comprising a strut vertically movable on supporting rods for changing the vertical spacing of a pipe above the building surface and spring clips connecting the strut to the rods, the spring clips having a locking position securing the strut in a fixed position and a release position that permits the strut to move along the rods.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An adjustable pipe support comprising:
a) a base having a bottom surface configured to rest on a building roof,
b) parallel rods extending from and secured to said base,
c) a pipe supporting strut mounted for movement on said rods to a selected height position above said base, and,
d) quick release clips carried on said strut, said clips having a locking position securing said strut to said rods and a release position permitting movement of said strut on said rods.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The pipe support as claimed in claim 1 wherein each clip comprises a first leg fixed to said strut and a second leg having a hole through which a rod extends, said legs forming an included angle greater than 90 degrees, and said second leg being flexible so that it is configured to be pressed from said locking position to said release position.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The pipe support as claimed in claim 2 wherein said rods are threaded.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The pipe support as claimed in claim 1 wherein said strut is a channel, and further comprising blocks in ends of the channel, said clips being fastened to said blocks, and said clips and blocks having holes through which said rods extend.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The pipe support as claimed in claim 4 wherein said clips have first legs fastened to said blocks and second legs, said legs forming an included angle greater than 90 degrees, and said second legs being flexible between said locking position engaging said rods and said release position permitting movement of said strut on said rods.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The pipe support as claimed in claim 5 wherein said rods are threaded.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The pipe support as claimed in claim 5 including a pipe clamp supported by said strut.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The pipe support as claimed in claim 5 including a pipe supporting roller carried by said strut.
