Conduit spacer system

A unit for supporting one conduit above another conduit in parallel, spaced-apart relationship comprising:

• a first U-shaped member having an open end and a diameter approximately equal to the outside diameter of said one conduit;
• a second U-shaped member having an open end and a diameter approximately equal to the outside diameter of said another conduit, said first and second U-shaped members being separate pieces, the spacing between the open ends of said first and second U-shaped members being less than the outside diameter of the conduits to be supported thereby, the opposed arms of said first and second U-shaped members being made from a resilient material to permit spreading thereof for receipt of conduits therebetween;
• a pair of inwardly and downwardly extending teeth made integral with said open ends of said first and second U-shaped members, said teeth being adapted to engage said conduits to inhibit removal of conduits from said members;
• and
• means releasably interconnecting said first and second U-shaped members with said open ends thereof extending in opposite directions and the planes of said members coplanar.

A system for supporting a plurality of conduits above another in parallel, spaced-apart relationship comprising:

• a first unit for supporting a first conduit comprising:
• a base;
• a first U-shaped member having an open end and a diameter approximately equal to the outside diameter of a conduit to be supported thereby;
• first means interconnecting said base and said first member with said open end of said first member extending away from said base;
• first matching interlocking means attached to opposite sides of said first unit for interconnecting adjacent first units;
• and
• a second unit for supporting a second conduit above said first conduit comprising:
• a second U-shaped member having an open end and a diameter approximately equal to the outside diameter of said second conduit;
• a third U-shaped member having an open end and a diameter approximately equal to the outside diameter of said first conduit;
• second means interconnecting said second and third U-shaped members with said open ends thereof extending in opposite directions and the planes of said second and third members coplanar;
• and
• second matching interlocking means attached to opposite sides of said second unit for interconnecting adjacent second units;
• and
• the spacing between the open ends of said first, second and third U-shaped members being less than the outside diameter of the conduits to be supported thereby, the opposed arms of said first, second and third U-shaped members being made from a resilient material to permit spreading thereof for receipt of conduits therebetween;
• and
• connector means positionable between adjacent first or second units and engaging said first and second matching interlocking means for adjusting the horizontal spacing between adjacent first and second units.
