Description

The present invention relates to a pipe holder according to the basic concept of the main patent claim.

Pipe holding systems are in multiple uses, especially for attaching pipe registers composed of heat exchange pipes for heating and cooling devices to system panels, concrete or other substrates. Such devices are necessary to prevent such pipe registers from floating, sliding, etc., and cracking when laid in concrete, flooring, etc.

DE 35 13 971 shows, for example, a mounting grid for fixing at the same distance electric heating wires in clamping holders of crossbars or crossbars in the form of strips. One similar support rail is published by CH PS 664 429, where heating pipes of underfloor heating are fixed, A similar pipe holder is shown in the prospectus "Technical information 199" of Gabo Systemtechmk GmbH on page 7 top right.

All known tube holders have certain disadvantages. One of the significant disadvantages according to the existing state of the art is that the formation of pipe register cracks and flooding when placed on the base, etc., cannot be avoided and that in the area of the dead points of the pipe register, the pipe radii cannot exactly correspond to the permitted bending radii of the material used, except if all pipe registers are placed in so-called system boards with derived pipe channels.

As stated in the Patent Claims. the task of this invention is to improve the known pipe holders in such a way as to safely avoid both flooding and the creation of cracks in the pipe register, as well as to guarantee bending radii that correspond to a certain material when attaching the pipe in the bending area, in order to damage to the pipe is avoided.

The advantages achieved by the present invention lie primarily in the ability to adapt the pipe holder proposed by the present invention with arcuate or flat pipe holding elements to the properties of the pipe materials and the pipe register, such as elements for holding two or more pipes of different diameters placed next to each other others or one below the other in one pipe holder as well as in the simpler installation of the pipe from above into the pipe holder which can be made in advance and the clamping bars, the bending radius corresponding to the material, etc. Also, no additional processing or adjustment of the pipe register or pipe holder during assembly is required. In this way, an additional saving of time and work is achieved during the assembly of such completed or pre-assembled pipe registers. The so-called flexible or elastic design of the element for holding the pipe and/or the pipe holder itself further simplifies the installation of one pipe register or the like.

The invention is further explained in more detail by means of an exemplary embodiment shown in the figures.

The following pictures show:

Sl. 1 one pipe holder in plan and side view

Sl. 2 version of the design from Fig. 1 i

Sl. 3 mounted pipe holder in section.

The pipe holder 1 shown in the pictures basically consists of a body, a holder head with an arched and front-open receiving element 1a for the pipe 2 and a base with an extension on the back 1b for mounting on a surface 3, for example a wall, a floor, a plate or similarly, whereby the radius of the head with its arched receiving element 1a or 1b corresponds to the permissible bending radius of the material of the pipe being installed. The receiving element 1a or 1b follows the arc section of the pipe 2 or 6 in one area a-b as long as necessary to prevent pipe breakage in the area of the radius. Also in the case of pipe holders with a straight-line receiving element for straight pipe sections, the longer version of the receiving element is an advantage, in order to achieve a tight fit of the pipe in the receiving element. Both receiving elements 1a and 1b are designed so that pipes 2 or 6 can jump into them, i.e. they are covered at a length greater than the diameter D.

Figure 1 shows one such pipe holder with a pipe head 2 in the upper receiving element 1a, and Fig. 2 with a head for an additional receiving element 1b for the pipe 6, which can accept a diameter different from that of the pipe 2 and accordingly other dimensions of the receiving element 1 are needed.

Pipe or pipes 2, 6 can be inserted from above into the receiving elements 1a, 1b, which allows for much easier assembly and additionally represents the advantage that all pipe registers can be pre-assembled and placed on the base 3, whereby the pipe holder 1 is placed in certain openings of the clamping strips 4 and only at the end they are equipped with pipes 2, 6. The pipe holder 1 rests exactly on the base 3 using the spacer element 1c and the back side of the receiving element 1a, 1b before mounting the pipe, so that the installation of the pipe register or the like ends with the installation of the pipe.

Figure 3 shows a factory-mounted pipe holder 1 with two pipes 2, 6 of different diameters located in the clamping strips 4, which are attached by means of a screw or Fig. 5 to the base 3. In this case, both stops 1d and 1e of the pipe holder 1 are placed in front opening of the clamping strip and in this way they additionally support and protect against slipping.

If the pipe holder 1, i.e. the receiving element 1a and 1b is designed as flexible, plastic or elastic to a certain extent, it can be adapted to the otherwise rigid pipeline, for example in the area of the arc, especially in places that can be bent when installed in a meandering manner or similar ., also on parts of the pipe that are straight, by pre-bending the receiving elements or by adapting themselves to a certain geometry of the pipe, without jeopardizing its stability.

As is self-evident, the application of this invention is not limited only to plastic pipelines, but can also have a good application where pipelines, cables or the like must be attached to substrates and fixed in a predetermined position.
