Abstract
A mounting system for pipes, the mounting system including a mounting plate for being fixed onto a support, a pipe holder integral with the mounting plate and including a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface, each supporting surface being designed to accommodate a pipe and including a different shape from that of the other supporting surface, and adjustment structure designed to ensure a displacement of the pipe holder on the mounting plate along an adjustment direction and to ensure a blocking of the pipe holder on the mounting plate.
Claims9
A mounting system for pipes, the mounting system comprising:
- a mounting plate for being fixed onto a support;
- a pipe holder attachable to the mounting plate and comprising a first pipe supporting surface and a second pipe supporting surface, the first pipe supporting surface comprising a first curved profile and the second pipe supporting surface comprising a second curved profile, the first curved profile differing from the second curved profile, the first pipe supporting surface being configured to accommodate a first pipe having a shape matching the first curved profile and the second pipe supporting surface being configured to accommodate a second pipe having a shape matching the second curved profile, the first pipe supporting surface being centered on a central plane of the mounting system and the second pipe supporting surface being divided into two sub-surfaces, each sub-surface being arranged symmetrically on either side of the central plane;
- and
- an adjustment structure to allow displacement of the pipe holder on the mounting plate along an adjustment direction and to ensure a locking of the pipe holder on the mounting plate,
- the mounting system further comprising first and second arms which are removably fastened to the pipe holder by a mounting structure and arranged symmetrically on either side of the first pipe supporting surface, the first and second arms each comprising at least one complementary pipe supporting surface, respectively, the at least one complementary pipe supporting surface of the first arm being symmetrical with a corresponding complementary pipe supporting surface of the second arm with respect to the central plane of symmetry, the complementary pipe supporting surfaces together forming a third pipe supporting surface comprising at least a third curved profile, which is different from the first and second pipe supporting surfaces and is configured to accommodate a third pipe having a shape matching the third curved profile,
- wherein only one of the first, second, or third pipe supporting surfaces can hold only one of the first, second, or third pipes at a time, respectively, while others of the first, second, or third pipe supporting surfaces are blocked from holding any other pipes.
