Abstract

"PIPE HANGER"
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Conventional pipe hangers usually include two strap portions one around the pipe and one attached to the support with the junctions being bolted together. The pre-sent device is made from a one piece length of wire or rod and includes a pair of legs with a circular loop portion formed therebetween and extendable around the pipe being supported. In one embodiment, the pipe engaging portion extends around the pipe through approximately 540° and terminates with the two legs extending upwardly towards a common locus with an eye being formed in the distal end of each leg lying perpendicular to the plane of the circular portion and overlapping one with the other so that a single fastener can pass through the eyes and into the support above the pipe. Another embodiment provides a loop or circular portion extending through approximately 270° and having a detachable fastener holding the lower ends of the legs to-wards one another just above the pipe. A third embodiment includes a loop or circular portion extending through approximately 360° with the legs crossing one another adja-cent the junction of the legs with the loop portion and de-tachably locking with one another just above the pipe.

Description

~ . 7 2 2 '.'. 1 "PIPE ~IANGER"

BACK~ROUi~D ~F THE rNVENTION
_ _ This invention relates LO new and useful improve-ments in pipe hangers, particulàrly hangers for relatively large diameter pipes. Conventionally, such nangers include two portions one portion extending àround the pipe through approximately 180 and the other portion being bolted there-to and bein~ secured to the supporting surface above the pipe. Such conventional devices do not provide a clarnping effort to the pipe but merely hang the pipe so that any vibration or movement of the pipe cannot be restricted.
Furtherrnore they are difficul. to assembly when installing same because of the bolting of the parts together.
SUMMA~Y OF THE INVE~NTION
-The present invention overcomes these disadvan-tages by providing a pipe hanger made from a unitary length of rod, wire or t'ne like and having means to clamp the lower pi?e engaging portion around the pipe so that the pipe is held firmly and relative movernent of the pipe is prevented in all directions. ~urthermore, the securement of the pipe hanger is tl-lrough a single fastener into the support above the pipe being supported.
In accordance witn the invention there is provid-ed a pipe hanger formed from a unitary length of rod, wire or the like and comprisiTI~ a pipe supporting loop component and a supporting leg extending from each end oE said loop :~72~3~

component, said legs extending upwardly towards a comlnon locus above said loop and fastener engaging means formed on tne upper distal ends of said legs in overlapping rela-tionship one with the other.
Another advantage of tne invention is to provide an embodiment tnereof in which the pipe en~aging portion extends completely around the pipe and throug'n approximate-ly 540.
Ano-ther aspect of tne invention yrovides an embodi-ment in w'nich the pipe engaging portion extends around the pipe through approximately 135 and is held in position by rneans of a detachable clip engaging the legs just above the pipe, once again preventing movemerlt of the pipe in any direction.
A third aspect of the invention is to provide ahanger in which tne pipe engaging portion extends througin approximately 360 with the junctions o, tne legs with the pipe engaging portion crossing one another and detachably loc-king the pipe engaging portion around the pipe. Once again movement of the pipe is prevented in any direction.
Yet another advantage of the invention is to pro-vide a device of tne character herewithin described which is simple in construction, economical in manufacture and otherwise well suited to the purpose for which is clesigned.
With the foregoing in view, and other a~lvantages as will become apparent to tnose skilled in the art to which l ~ 7223 ~

tnis invention relates as tnis specification proceeds, the invention is herein described by reference to the accompany-ing drawings forminp a part hereof, which includes a de-scription of the best mode ~nown to t'ne applicant and of rhe ~referred -~ypical ernbodilnent of tne principles of tne present invention, in WtliCh:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Proceeding therefore to describe the invention in detail, reference character 10 illustrates in cross sec-tion, a typical pipe to be supported, an overhead support-ing surface 11.
It consists of a single or unitary length of wire ~ 17~231 or rod collectively designated 12 formed with a pipe sup-porting 1Oo2 component collectively aesignated 13 and a pair of legs 14 and 15 extending from eac`n end of the loop com-ponent 13.
T;ne upper ends of legs, in Figure 1, are angulated inwardly as snown at 16 and an eye loop 17 is forrned on these angulated ends 16. The plane of these loops lies at right angles to tne plane of the loop component 13 and are situated one above the other as clearly shown so that a fastener such as bolt 18 may engage thnrough the loops and into the overhead supporting member 11, with a washer 19 being situated between the head of the fastener and the underside of the lowermost loop 17.
It will be noted that the loop component 13 in-cludes a full loop 20 and half loops 21 on either side t'nereof with the legs 14 and 15 extending from the ends of the half loops as clearly shown so that the loop component extends througn approximately 540 .
In operation, it may be engaged over the end of the pipe prior to the pipe being hung with the loop compon-ent completely surrounding the pipe and preventing move-ment thereof in any direction, it being understood that the diameter of the loop component 13 is such that it is a relatively snug fit around the outer perimeter of the pipe.
Figures 3, 4 and 5 show an alternative embodiment in w'nich the loop component 13A extends throug'n approxi-~ 1~22.

rïlately 270. At the junction between the ends of the loop component 13A and the legs 14A and 15A, an inwardly curved portion 22 is formed as clearly shown so that a detachable fastener 23 may be engaged around these inwardly looped portions 22 after the pipe 10 is engaged through the loop component 13A. This nolds the pipe component firmly around the pipe thus preventing rnovement thereof in any di.recti~n.
It will be observed that the clip or fastener 23 is situated just above the upper side of the pipe 10. Figure 4 shows one type of fastener specifically designated 23A which is in the form of a C-clip and Figure 5 shows another type of fastener 23B which may consist of a length of wire with the ends twisted togetner or, alternatively, witn the ends bolted together as by means of bolt 24.
The upper ends of legs 14A and 15A are provided with eyes 17A thereby enabling the pipe hanger to be engag-ed with the supporting surface 11 by means of bolt 18 as hereinbefore described.
Figure 6 snows a third embodiment in which the pipe supporting loop component 13B extends approximately tnrougn 360 when engaged around pipe 10. The junctions of the loop component with the legs 14B and 15B are angulated as at 25 so tnat when enga~ed around the pipe as shown in Figure 6, the legs 14B a.nd 15B have been crossed over one another so that the angulated portions 25 interlock just above the upper side of pipe 10 with the legs extending suvstantially parallel to one another and terrninating in tne eye loops 17 in a manner similar to that hereinbefore from described. Once again tne pipe is prevented / movement in any direction, it being understood that in the embodirinents illustrated in ~igures 3 and 6, the dimensions of the loop components 13A and 13B are such that when installed as de-scribed, tney embrace the pipe firmly.
In ali cases, detachment of tne pipe hangers is accomplished readily arld easily and installation is also relatively simple because of only a single bolt or screw type fastener being required.
Since various modifications can be made in my in-vention as hereinabove described, and many apparently wide-ly different embodiments of same made within tre spirit and scope of the claims wichout departing from such spirit and scope, it is lntended that all matter contained in the accompanying specification shall be interpreted as illus-trative only and not in a limiting sense.
