Abstract
PIPE SUPPORT STAND
Abstract of the Disclosure A pipe support stand is provided which is a plastic modular unit of a generally pyramidal shape. The unit has a hollow interior to permit stackability. Four angled legs are defined at each of its corners. A central substantially vertical rib increases the mechanical strength and stability of the unit.

Description
- 202304~
2 The present invention relates to a support stand for 3 pipeline construction proJects.
4 sAcKGR UND OF THE INVENTION
During the construction and installation of a pipeline, 6 it is necessary to support the interconnected pieces of pipe 7 prior to its insertion into the ground. Up to the present time, 8 a typical pipe support stand comprised a wooden four-legged horse g having a strap across the top. The strap defined a groove which was adapted to receive the pipe. The disadvantages of these 11 prior art units resided in their heaviness, propensity to 12 breakage and the limited stackibility of the units.
13 There existed, therefore, the need for a pipe support 14 stand exhibiting the following characteristics.
- lightness in welght;
16 _ abillty to stack more than 3 or 4 units together 17 such as was the case wlth the above-descrlbed 18 prlor art unlts;
19 - unbreakabllity; and - stablllty when ln use thus avoldlng the 21 posslblllty of damage to the pipe coatlng, which 22 would occur when the stand toppled over.
24 In accordance with the present lnventlon, there ls provided a modular plpe support stand formed of a substantially 26 unbreakable sultable plastlc. Preferably, the plastic would 27 comprise polyethylene. A further advantage of using such a 202304~
1 material resides in the fact that the stand is of a light welght 2 (in the order of about seven pounds). A hollow interior i8 3 provided which means that as many as fourteen or more unit~ may 4 be stacked together at one time. A central rib provides increased mechanical strength and stability to the stand.
6 Preferably, two substantially vertical ribs may be provided at 7 the centre of the stand, thus improving the strength and 8 stability thereof. A continuous base defining an outwardly 9 projecting lip still further increases the stability of the stand.
11 In a broad aspect, the invention relates to a stand for 12 supporting an elongate tubular member which comprises:
- a generally pyramidially shaped modular body 14 formed of plastic, said body further forming a hollow interior, said body further defining an 16 upper generally arcuate reaess on its upper 17 surfaoe adapted to receive the tubular member 18 therein, and forming four angled legs at the outer 19 corners thereof and a central rib on each side thereof and said body further havlng a 21 substantially continuous base forming an outwardly 22 extending lip.
24 Figure l is a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the stand.
26 Figure 2 is a plan view taken from the base of the 27 stand.

l DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
2 Having reference to the accompanylng drawings, there is 3 provided a generally pyrlmidal pipe support stand 1.
The modular stand 1 is preferably formed of a fluorescent 3/16" thick polyethylene.
6 The stand 1 defines four angled legs 2 at each of its 7 corners. A groove 3 formed on the upper surface of the stand 1 8 is adapted to receive the pipe 4. A pair of ribs 5 are formed in g the central portion of the stand 1. At the base of the stand 1 there is provided an outwardly extending lip 6, the outer ll perimeter of which is generally rectangular in shape.

l DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
2 Having reference to the accompanylng drawings, there is 3 provided a generally pyrlmidal pipe support stand 1.
The modular stand 1 is preferably formed of a fluorescent 3/16" thick polyethylene.
6 The stand 1 defines four angled legs 2 at each of its 7 corners. A groove 3 formed on the upper surface of the stand 1 8 is adapted to receive the pipe 4. A pair of ribs 5 are formed in g the central portion of the stand 1. At the base of the stand 1 there is provided an outwardly extending lip 6, the outer ll perimeter of which is generally rectangular in shape.
Claims (2)
