Pipe hanger and support

A hanger for horizontally supporting a pipe at spaced locations therealong comprising at said locations an inverted U-shaped frame connected to support the pipe at the lower end thereof, a vertically oriented support rod disposed centrally of said frame, a helical spring disposed about said support rod within said frame, the first end of said spring resting in an elastomeric dampening member mounted to said frame and passing said mounting rod therethrough, a horizontally oriented spring-compressing member disposed in said frame in supporting relation beneath said spring and with a depending end of said support rod in projected relation therebelow, the depending end of said support rod passing through a second elastomeric dampening member, a first nut engaging said plate through said second elastomeric dampening member, a first removable spring-compressing means in the form of cooperating nuts and bolts on opposite sides of said spring operatively arranged upon threaded adjustment of said nuts to cause ascending movement in said spring-compressing member to correspondingly cause a prestressing of said spring, and a second spring compressing means formed by said first nut being in threaded engagement on said support rod depending end so as to cause additional ascending movement in said spring-compressing member without movement of said frame to additionally prestress said spring, whereby the partaking of said spring-compressing member of said ascending movements is not accompanied by any vertical movements of said supported pipe.
