Abstract
A radial pipe mount has a spoked elastomeric element around the pipe with e spokes pointing outward. A circular ring retains the spoked elastomeric element and has a support leg attached to it. The cross-section of the ring is a semi-elliptic of formula 2/a.sup.2 +x.sup.2 /b.sup.2 =1.
Claims3
A radial pipe mount comprising:
- an elastomeric insert for bending around a pipe, said elastomeric insert having radial spokes;
- a retaining ring surrounding said elastomeric insert and retaining said elastomeric insert around said pipe with said radial spokes pointing outward;
- said retaining ring being comprised of a semi-ellipse in cross-section to provide rigidity without low frequency resonance;
- and
- means attached to said retaining ring for supporting said radial pipe mount.
