Abstract
A pipe chain system has a chain that is made of a plurality of chain links. Each chain link has a body. The body has a male end and a female end such that the male end matingly engages with the female end of an adjacent chain link. The body has an arcuate underside. The arcuate underside corresponds to a portion of a pipe diameter to which the chain is attached. A pin connection is provided for mating each mating engagement of the male end and the female end of the adjacent chain links such that the chain links are hingedly connected to each other.
Claims21
A pipe chain system, comprising:
- a chain having a plurality of chain links, each chain link having a body, the body having a male end and a female end such that the male end matingly engages with the female end of an adjacent chain link, the body having an arcuate underside, the arcuate underside having an arc length equal to or smaller than an arc length corresponding to a portion of a pipe diameter to which the plurality of chain links is being attached;
- a pin connection for mating each mating engagement of the male end and the female end of the adjacent chain links such that the chain links are hingedly connected to each other.
A pipe chain system, comprising:
- a first chain and a second chain each comprising:
- a plurality of chain links, each chain link having a body, the body having a male end and a female end such that the male end matingly engages with the female end of adjacent chain links, the body having an arcuate underside, the arcuate underside corresponding to a portion of a pipe diameter to which the pipe chain is being attached;
- a pin connection for mating each mating engagement of the male end and the female end of the adjacent chain links such that the chain links are hingedly connected to each other;
- the first chain being positioned adjacent an end of a first pipe and the second chain being positioned adjacent an end of a second pipe, the end of the first pipe and the end of the second pipe being adjacent to each other;
- an alignment bar extending from the first chain to the second chain such that the alignment bar extends over the end of the first pipe and the end of the second pipe for aligning the first pipe and the second pipe, the alignment bar being attachable to the chain link on each of the first chain and the second chain.
