Pipe cushion

A pipe cushion for supporting a pipe to a structural channel having a pair of elongate adjustably coupled pipe clamp elements, said pipe clamp elements being positionable about said pipe and mutually connectable to each other, said pipe cushion comprising:

• an elongate deformable cushion body for positioning on said structural channel, said body having a generally continuous tubular wall including a base and defining a central passageway through, said tubular wall having a slot through said base in communication with passageway for passage of said pipe therethrough, and for fully encompassing said pipe inserted into said passageway;
• said continuous wall defining a pair of spaced apart base ribs having raised relief and being engageable with said clamp elements for forcing said tubular wall in substantial conformance with said pipe.

A pipe cushion for supporting a pipe to a structural channel, said pipe cushion comprising:

• an elongate deformable cushion body having a base and a longitudinal slot through said base;
• said body including a tubular wall extending from one side of said slot to the other side of said slot and defining a central passageway through said body, said passageway being in communication with said slot for passage of said pipe into said passageway;
• said cushion body further including a pair of entry members located to either side of and spaced from said slot, said entry members providing having opposed inclined side wall surfaces extending from an external surface of said tubular wall inwardly towards said passages and a tapered lead-in into said slot so as to expand said slot upon said entry members making contact with said pipe and prior to said pipe being inserted into said passageway of said cushion body.
