Vibration isolating insert for a pipe clip and method for manufacturing such an insert

A vibration-isolating insert for a pipe clip, the vibration-isolating insert being adapted to bear against an inner circumference of a substantially annular pipe clip body and ultimately—in use—to be positioned between the outer circumference of a pipe and the pipe clip body, the vibration-isolating insert comprising an elongate strip of vibration-isolating material which has a pipe facing side and a pipe clip facing side, said strip of vibration-isolating material having adjacent either lateral edge thereof a series of discrete exposed hooks of plastics material which is more rigid than the vibration-isolating material, the hooks protruding relative to the pipe clip facing side of the strip of vibration-isolating material.

A pipe clip comprising an annular pipe clip body and a vibration-isolating insert, the vibration-isolating insert being arranged on a radially seen inner side of the pipe clip body, the vibration-isolating insert comprising an elongate strip of vibration-isolating material which has a pipe facing side and a pipe clip facing side, said strip of vibration-isolating material having adjacent either lateral edge thereof a series of discrete exposed hooks of plastics material which is more rigid than the vibration-isolating material, the hooks protruding relative to the pipe clip facing side of the strip of vibration-isolating material and gripping around lateral edges of the pipe clip body.
