Description
The present invention relates to an article for securing a continuous pipe to a wall or the like, this article comprising a pipe clamp that encircles the pipe and a carrier that is connected to the clamp arms of the pipe clamp and is arranged on the wall.
In order to secure a continuous pipe at a specific distance from a wall, it is known that the pipe can be encircled by a pipe clamp, a bracket can be secured between the clamp arms of the pipe clamp by a screw, the bracket then being secured to the wall by any means desired, if necessary with the incorporation of a bend. However, an article of this kind entails a disadvantaye in that the pipe can only be rotated through a speciflc angular range ln the plane of the bracket that is secured between the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, whlch is a partlcular disadvantage when inclined, curved or angled runs of pipe are to be installed.
It is the alm of the present invention to create an article of the type descrlbed in the introduction hereto, that makes lt posslble to rotate the plpe freely about the transverse a~ls that passes through the carrier, and also ensures rapld connectlon between the clamp arms of the plpe clamp and the carrler, and at the same tlme ensures rellable adjustment and release ln the desired positlon of the plpe relative to the carrler.
The lnventlon provides an artlcle to secure a continuous pipe to a wall or the llke r comprising a plpe clamp having arms that encircle the pipe and a carrier that is connected to the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, characterized in that the free end r of the carrier or of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp is provided with a frusto-conical detent; in that the detent is snapped at i~s end face into a correspondingly formed, annular groove in the opposite inner side of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, or in the opposite inner sides of clamp arms of the end area of the carrier;
and in that the snap connection thus formed can be tlghtened by means of a screw that connects the clamp arms of the pipe clamp or the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier, respectively, said snap connection when loosened permitting rotation of the pipe clamp and pipe about said carrier.
In an advantageous configuration the detent is configured so as to have a truncated conical cross-section, with an undercut on its wide end that enters into engagement behind a corresponding step in the groove, which is configured so as to be of a reversed truncated conical cross-section. Thls slmpllfies the snap-fastening procedure and increases the clamping area.
In order to further increase the clamping area and simpllfy the lnsertion process, in one embodiment it ls preferred that the truncated conical detent of the carrier become a similarly conflgured plug portion on its wide end, while forming the undercut; a retaining rod of the carrier connects to this wide end; an insertion opening that is of corresponding truncated conical cross-section and that extends into the groove is formed in the end face of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp. It is expedient for the detent and the plug portion of the carrier be configured as a separate, one-piece component secured to the associated face of the retaining rod of the carrier by means of a . - 2 1.1B

In order to secure a continuous pipe at a specific distance from a wall, it is known that the pipe can be encircled by a pipe clamp, a bracket can be secured between the clamp arms of the pipe clamp by a screw, the bracket then being secured to the wall by any means desired, if necessary with the incorporation of a bend. However, an article of this kind entails a disadvantaye in that the pipe can only be rotated through a speciflc angular range ln the plane of the bracket that is secured between the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, whlch is a partlcular disadvantage when inclined, curved or angled runs of pipe are to be installed.
It is the alm of the present invention to create an article of the type descrlbed in the introduction hereto, that makes lt posslble to rotate the plpe freely about the transverse a~ls that passes through the carrier, and also ensures rapld connectlon between the clamp arms of the plpe clamp and the carrler, and at the same tlme ensures rellable adjustment and release ln the desired positlon of the plpe relative to the carrler.
The lnventlon provides an artlcle to secure a continuous pipe to a wall or the llke r comprising a plpe clamp having arms that encircle the pipe and a carrier that is connected to the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, characterized in that the free end r of the carrier or of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp is provided with a frusto-conical detent; in that the detent is snapped at i~s end face into a correspondingly formed, annular groove in the opposite inner side of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, or in the opposite inner sides of clamp arms of the end area of the carrier;
and in that the snap connection thus formed can be tlghtened by means of a screw that connects the clamp arms of the pipe clamp or the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier, respectively, said snap connection when loosened permitting rotation of the pipe clamp and pipe about said carrier.
In an advantageous configuration the detent is configured so as to have a truncated conical cross-section, with an undercut on its wide end that enters into engagement behind a corresponding step in the groove, which is configured so as to be of a reversed truncated conical cross-section. Thls slmpllfies the snap-fastening procedure and increases the clamping area.
In order to further increase the clamping area and simpllfy the lnsertion process, in one embodiment it ls preferred that the truncated conical detent of the carrier become a similarly conflgured plug portion on its wide end, while forming the undercut; a retaining rod of the carrier connects to this wide end; an insertion opening that is of corresponding truncated conical cross-section and that extends into the groove is formed in the end face of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp.

2~1~4-9 screw.
In any other embodiment of the present invention lt is advantageously arranged that the outer side of the clamp arms of ~ ~9~32~i~
the pipe clamp extend from the undercut of the truncated conical detent (which is divided because of the gap between the clamp arms) parallel to the conical outer side of the detent; and that an insertion opening that is of a corresponding truncated conical cross-section be formed in the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier.
According to a further advantageous development, the screw that connects the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, or the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier, respectively, is an hexagon-socket set screw, the head of which rests in a screw-head countersink in one clamp arm, the threaded stem of which passes through a bore that is associated with this screw-head countersink, across the gap between the clamp arms, and then engages in a threaded bore in the other clamp arm.
In order that the groove can be produced in the component that contains it in a simple manner in a moulding process, in an advantageous version the circular groove in the inner sides of the clamp arms is formed in conjunction with a transverse through opening of trapezoi.dal cross-section that extends at right-angles to and in the centre of the gap between the corresponding clamp arms.
It is pre:Eerred that the retaining rod of the carrier be bent to form a right-angle and, on its end face that is -to be proximate to a wall of metal, is formed as a threaded pin that is screwed into a matching threaded hole in the wall. As an alternative to this, the retaining rod of the carrier can be relatively short 1~982~
and straight and, at its end face that is to be proximate to a wall of wood, is formed as a wood screw. In a further advantageous alternative, in the configuration of the carrier where the opposite clamp arms make a direct transition to become a short retaining rod of the carrier, a bore that is on the axis of the groove extends from the groove through -the retaining rod, in which the bore is necked down, and accommodates a screw that is screwed into an anchor that is set in the wall.
In order to achieve an article that is both light and weather-resistant, all the components thereof are of aluminum.
The underlying concept of the present invention will be described in greater detail below on the basis of the drawings appended hereto, wherein:
Figure 1 is a view of the article according to the present invention having an angled carrier.
Figure la is a view of a detail of the article of Figure 1, to enlarged scale, in the direction indicated by the arrow la.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the article of Figure 1, in the direction indicated by the arrow II.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 of an article according to the present invention having a straight carrier.
Figure 4 is a view of the article of Figure 3, in the direction indicated by the arrow IV.
Figure 5 is a view of an alternative embodiment of the article of Figure 3.
1~82~5 The pipe clamp 2 has a rounded part 1 that encircles the pipe 3. The clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp have a gap 4 between them and are joined to each other in the area that is adjacent to the pipe 2 by a screw 5. The head 6 of this screw 5, which is a hexagon-socket set screw, is accommodated in a counter-sunk bore 7 in clamp arm 2a having a section 8 for the threaded stem 9 of the screw 5 extending from the recess 7. Opposite this bore 8, in clamp arm 2b there is a threaded bore 10, into which the threaded stem 9 of the screw 5 is engaged.
On the inner sides 11 of the clamp arms 2a, 2b is a circular groove 12 of truncated conical cross-section. An insertion opening 14 extends from the broad end of the groove 12, to the end face of the clamp arms 2a, 2b, this opening also being of truncated conical cross-section, to define a step 13. The outer sides of ~he groove 12 and of the inser~ion opening 1~ are parallel. The circular groove 12 in the inner sicles 11 of the clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp 2 is formed in conjunction with a continuous transverse opening 15 of trapezoidal cross-section that extends at right-angles and centrally in the gap 4 between the clamp arms 2a, 2b.
The end of the ca.rrier 16 for the pipe clamp 2 is shaped as a truncated conical detent 17 ~Figure la) having an undercut portion 18. This detent 17 is of a truncated conical form that is the reverse of the groove 12. This makes a transition from the undercut 18 of the detent 17 in a similarly configured plug section 19, i.e., the plug section 19 is also of truncated conical cross-section. A retaining rod 20 of the carrier 16 is connected to the broad side of the plug section 19. Since the groove 15 matches B
8Z1~5 the detent 17 and the insertion opening 14, a snap connection 21 can be produced between them by simply inserting these parts into each other; when this is done, the undercut 18 of the detent 17 snaps into place behind the step 13 in the groove 12. When the screw 15 is not tightened, the pipe clamp 2 with the pipe that it encircles can thus be rotated through 360 degrees around the axis 22 that passes through the carrier 16, i.e., the longitudinal axis 23 of the pipe 3 can be rotated through the angular range ~h (Figure 2). As soon as the pipe 3 has been rotated into its final position, the screw 5 is tightened, which means that the snap fastening 21 and the pipe clamp 2 are both fixedly secured.
The detent 17 and the plug section 19 are formed as a separate one-piece unit 24 that is secured to the retaining portion 20 of the carrier 16 by an hexagon-socket set screw 25. The head of this set screw 25 is set flush with the narrow end of the detent 17, whilst its threaded stem engages in a threaded blind bore 26 in the end of the retaining rod 20. On the underside of the unit 24 there is a recess 27 to accommodate the end face oE the retain-ing rod 20. In this way, the unit 24 can be Eirmly attached to the retaining rod 20.
The other end of the retaining rod 20 that is bent at right-angles (Figure 1) carries an integral threaded pin 28 that can be screwed into suitable threaded bore 29 in a metal wall 30. The shoulder 31 of the retaining rod 20 is then flush with the wall 30.
In order to make it easier to screw the carrier 16 into the wall 30, the retaining rod 20 has two flats 32 on opposite sides of and close to the threaded pin 28, and these can accommodate an open-ended wrench.
1;25~265 In the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, which is essentially the same as that of Figures 1 and 2, the retaining rod is straight and relatively short; the end that is proximate to the wall, which in this instance is of wood, is formed as a wood screw 33 that can be screwed into the wall.
In thls case, too, the pipe 3 enclosed within the pipe clamp 2 can be moved freely through the angular range ~v (Figure 4) about the axis 22, i.e., the longitudinal axis 23 of the pipe 3 can be rotated through 360 degrees about the transverse axis 22 of the pipe clamp 2.
The embodiment of the article as in Figure 5 is configured similarly to the article shown in Figure 3, albeit with the difference that the detent 15 is arranged at the free ends of the clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp 2 and the groove 12 is in the inner sides of the clamp arms 16a, 16b of the end area of the carrier 16. The clamp arms 16a, 16b are conflgured as are the clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp 2 as in Figure 3, and are also connected to each other by a screw 5. Also the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the pipe 3 can be rotated about the axis 22 as desired, because of the snap fastening 21 between the pipe c]amp 2 and the carrier 16. A continuous bore 34 extends from the groove 12 in the clamp arms 16a, 16b of the carrier 16 through the retalning rod 20, the bore 34 being stepped so as to accommodate a screw 35. The screw 35 engages in an anchor 36 that is inserted in a blind bore 37 in a concrete wall 30.
~9~3Zf~5 261~4--~The precedi.ng description, based on the drawings appended hereto, reveals in detail the particularly simple and practical design of the article according to the present invention, which is extremely reliable despite its simplicity. Even though the invention has been described only on the basis of a small number of embodiments, there are many possibilities open to the expert to modify these within the framework of the appended claims, these possibilities being clear from the description. For example rather than being on the carrler 16 the frusto-conical detent can be provided on the pipe clamp and received in a groove or recess defined in clamp arms (not shown) of the carrier 16.
,~
In any other embodiment of the present invention lt is advantageously arranged that the outer side of the clamp arms of ~ ~9~32~i~
the pipe clamp extend from the undercut of the truncated conical detent (which is divided because of the gap between the clamp arms) parallel to the conical outer side of the detent; and that an insertion opening that is of a corresponding truncated conical cross-section be formed in the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier.
According to a further advantageous development, the screw that connects the clamp arms of the pipe clamp, or the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier, respectively, is an hexagon-socket set screw, the head of which rests in a screw-head countersink in one clamp arm, the threaded stem of which passes through a bore that is associated with this screw-head countersink, across the gap between the clamp arms, and then engages in a threaded bore in the other clamp arm.
In order that the groove can be produced in the component that contains it in a simple manner in a moulding process, in an advantageous version the circular groove in the inner sides of the clamp arms is formed in conjunction with a transverse through opening of trapezoi.dal cross-section that extends at right-angles to and in the centre of the gap between the corresponding clamp arms.
It is pre:Eerred that the retaining rod of the carrier be bent to form a right-angle and, on its end face that is -to be proximate to a wall of metal, is formed as a threaded pin that is screwed into a matching threaded hole in the wall. As an alternative to this, the retaining rod of the carrier can be relatively short 1~982~
and straight and, at its end face that is to be proximate to a wall of wood, is formed as a wood screw. In a further advantageous alternative, in the configuration of the carrier where the opposite clamp arms make a direct transition to become a short retaining rod of the carrier, a bore that is on the axis of the groove extends from the groove through -the retaining rod, in which the bore is necked down, and accommodates a screw that is screwed into an anchor that is set in the wall.
In order to achieve an article that is both light and weather-resistant, all the components thereof are of aluminum.
The underlying concept of the present invention will be described in greater detail below on the basis of the drawings appended hereto, wherein:

Figure la is a view of a detail of the article of Figure 1, to enlarged scale, in the direction indicated by the arrow la.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the article of Figure 1, in the direction indicated by the arrow II.
Figure 3 is a view similar to Figure 1 of an article according to the present invention having a straight carrier.
Figure 4 is a view of the article of Figure 3, in the direction indicated by the arrow IV.
Figure 5 is a view of an alternative embodiment of the article of Figure 3.
1~82~5 The pipe clamp 2 has a rounded part 1 that encircles the pipe 3. The clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp have a gap 4 between them and are joined to each other in the area that is adjacent to the pipe 2 by a screw 5. The head 6 of this screw 5, which is a hexagon-socket set screw, is accommodated in a counter-sunk bore 7 in clamp arm 2a having a section 8 for the threaded stem 9 of the screw 5 extending from the recess 7. Opposite this bore 8, in clamp arm 2b there is a threaded bore 10, into which the threaded stem 9 of the screw 5 is engaged.
On the inner sides 11 of the clamp arms 2a, 2b is a circular groove 12 of truncated conical cross-section. An insertion opening 14 extends from the broad end of the groove 12, to the end face of the clamp arms 2a, 2b, this opening also being of truncated conical cross-section, to define a step 13. The outer sides of ~he groove 12 and of the inser~ion opening 1~ are parallel. The circular groove 12 in the inner sicles 11 of the clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp 2 is formed in conjunction with a continuous transverse opening 15 of trapezoidal cross-section that extends at right-angles and centrally in the gap 4 between the clamp arms 2a, 2b.
The end of the ca.rrier 16 for the pipe clamp 2 is shaped as a truncated conical detent 17 ~Figure la) having an undercut portion 18. This detent 17 is of a truncated conical form that is the reverse of the groove 12. This makes a transition from the undercut 18 of the detent 17 in a similarly configured plug section 19, i.e., the plug section 19 is also of truncated conical cross-section. A retaining rod 20 of the carrier 16 is connected to the broad side of the plug section 19. Since the groove 15 matches B
8Z1~5 the detent 17 and the insertion opening 14, a snap connection 21 can be produced between them by simply inserting these parts into each other; when this is done, the undercut 18 of the detent 17 snaps into place behind the step 13 in the groove 12. When the screw 15 is not tightened, the pipe clamp 2 with the pipe that it encircles can thus be rotated through 360 degrees around the axis 22 that passes through the carrier 16, i.e., the longitudinal axis 23 of the pipe 3 can be rotated through the angular range ~h (Figure 2). As soon as the pipe 3 has been rotated into its final position, the screw 5 is tightened, which means that the snap fastening 21 and the pipe clamp 2 are both fixedly secured.
The detent 17 and the plug section 19 are formed as a separate one-piece unit 24 that is secured to the retaining portion 20 of the carrier 16 by an hexagon-socket set screw 25. The head of this set screw 25 is set flush with the narrow end of the detent 17, whilst its threaded stem engages in a threaded blind bore 26 in the end of the retaining rod 20. On the underside of the unit 24 there is a recess 27 to accommodate the end face oE the retain-ing rod 20. In this way, the unit 24 can be Eirmly attached to the retaining rod 20.
The other end of the retaining rod 20 that is bent at right-angles (Figure 1) carries an integral threaded pin 28 that can be screwed into suitable threaded bore 29 in a metal wall 30. The shoulder 31 of the retaining rod 20 is then flush with the wall 30.
In order to make it easier to screw the carrier 16 into the wall 30, the retaining rod 20 has two flats 32 on opposite sides of and close to the threaded pin 28, and these can accommodate an open-ended wrench.
1;25~265 In the embodiment shown in Figures 3 and 4, which is essentially the same as that of Figures 1 and 2, the retaining rod is straight and relatively short; the end that is proximate to the wall, which in this instance is of wood, is formed as a wood screw 33 that can be screwed into the wall.
In thls case, too, the pipe 3 enclosed within the pipe clamp 2 can be moved freely through the angular range ~v (Figure 4) about the axis 22, i.e., the longitudinal axis 23 of the pipe 3 can be rotated through 360 degrees about the transverse axis 22 of the pipe clamp 2.
The embodiment of the article as in Figure 5 is configured similarly to the article shown in Figure 3, albeit with the difference that the detent 15 is arranged at the free ends of the clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp 2 and the groove 12 is in the inner sides of the clamp arms 16a, 16b of the end area of the carrier 16. The clamp arms 16a, 16b are conflgured as are the clamp arms 2a, 2b of the pipe clamp 2 as in Figure 3, and are also connected to each other by a screw 5. Also the case of the embodiment shown in Figure 5, the pipe 3 can be rotated about the axis 22 as desired, because of the snap fastening 21 between the pipe c]amp 2 and the carrier 16. A continuous bore 34 extends from the groove 12 in the clamp arms 16a, 16b of the carrier 16 through the retalning rod 20, the bore 34 being stepped so as to accommodate a screw 35. The screw 35 engages in an anchor 36 that is inserted in a blind bore 37 in a concrete wall 30.

Even though the invention has been described only on the basis of a small number of embodiments, there are many possibilities open to the expert to modify these within the framework of the appended claims, these possibilities being clear from the description. For example rather than being on the carrler 16 the frusto-conical detent can be provided on the pipe clamp and received in a groove or recess defined in clamp arms (not shown) of the carrier 16.

4. An article as in claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the detent and the insertion section of the carrier are formed as a separate, one-piece component that is secured to the associated end of the carrier by means of a screw.
5. An article as in claim 2, characterized in that the outer side of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp extend from the undercut of the truncated conical detent, which is by a gap between the clamp arms, parallel to the conical outer side of the detent; and in that in the end face of the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier there is an insertion opening that is of corresponding truncated conical cross-section, which extends into the groove.
6. An article according to claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that said screw is a hexagon-socket set screw, the head of which rests in a countersunk opening in one clamp arm of the pipe clamp or of the carrier respectively, and the threaded stem of which passes through a bore in this clamp arm and the gap between the clamp arms of the pipe clamp or of the carrier, respectively, and into a threaded bore of the other clamping arm of the pipe clamp or the carrier, respectively.
7. An article as in claim 1, 2 or 3, characterized in that the circular groove in the inner sides of the clamp arms of the pipe clamp or in the inner sides of the clamp arms of the end area of the carrier respectively is formed in conjunction with a transverse through opening of trapezoidal cross-section that extends at right-angles to and centrally in the gap between the corresponding clamp arms.
8. An article as in claim 1, 2 or 3 characterized in that the carrier is bent so as to form a right-angle and at its end face that is to be proximate to a wall that is of metal is formed with threaded section to be screwed into a suitable threaded hole in the wall.
9. An article as in claim 1, 2 or 3 characterized in that the carrier is relatively short and straight, and at its end that is to be proximate a wall that is of wood is formed as a wood screw that is to be screwed into the wall.
10. An article as in claim 1, 2 or 3 characterized in that in the configuration of the carrier having at its free end with the opposing clamp arms these clamp arms make a transition to a short retaining rod of the carrier, a bore extending from the groove in the clamp arms, through the retaining rod, in which the bore is reduced, the bore accommodating a screw that is to be screwed into an anchor is set in the wall.
