Abstract
A pipe support which comprises a body having a recess of a generally U-shaped configuration formed therein, the recess being opened at a top end, the body having a clamping portion extending downwardly and which clamping portion includes first and second resilient members which each comprise a vertical sidewall and an inwardly extending end segment. The pipe support is particularly suitable for use on various structural members.
Claims10
A pipe support comprising:
- a body having a recess to receive a pipe formed therein, said recess having a generally U-shaped configuration and being open at a top end thereof;
- said recess being defined by a bottom wall and first and second sidewalls, said bottom wall having a central linear section, said central linear section terminating at either end in a downwardly sloping portion;
- a clamping portion extending downwardly from said body, said clamping portion comprising first and second resilient members;
- each of said first and second resilient members comprising a vertical sidewall and an inwardly extending end segment, said vertical sidewalls extending transversly with respect to said sidewalls defining said recess, said vertical sidewalls defining a channel to receive a member to which said pipe support is clamped and wherein said member extends in a direction transverse to said recess in said body.
In a building having a plurality of pipes and longitudinally extending truss members, the improvement comprising a pipe support assembly secured to at least one of said truss members, said pipe support assembly comprising:
- a plurality of bodies each body having a recess formed therein, said recesses each being of a generally U-shaped configuration and being open at a top end thereof, each recess having a pipe therein;
- each of said recesses being defined by bottom wall and first and second sidewalls, said recesses being in a side by side relationship, said bottom wall having a central linear section, said central linear section terminating at either end in a downwardly sloping portion;
- at least one clamping portion extending downwardly from said body, said clamping portion comprising first and second resilient members;
- each of said first and second resilient members comprising a vertical sidewall and an inwardly extending end segment, said vertical sidewalls extending transversly with respect to said sidewalls defining said recess, said first and second resilient members defining a channel to receive one of said longitudinally extending truss members, said longitudinally extending truss members extending in a direction transverse to said recesses.
