  • M re particularly the invention relates to a holder provided with supporting segments to engage the edge portions of the panels from the inside, the supporting segments being are shaped and extending parallel to the plane of the wall or celling finish.
  • the primary object of the invention is, therefore, to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages by providing a panel holder that permits the panels to take various angular positions relative to the supporting members on which the holders are mounted.
  • a panel holder for this purpose, it was discovered that a particular panel holder according to the invention having supporting segments to engage in the intumed edges of the panel would accomplish the results desired.
  • the segments run or extend parallel to the plane of the wall or ceiling finish and are are shaped.
  • panel holders are provided suchthat the panels may beslipped over the panel holders in retained position and may be rotated in the plane of suspension on the arc-shaped supporting segments.
  • the panels therefore, may be laid parallel to each other at any angle when the wall or ceiling finish is installed.
  • a panel holder having a single structure may be utilized for running panels at various angles to the supporting members.
  • the panel holders are so constructed that they are always available and useful in all possible positions and applications in practice.
  • the distances of panel holders from each other may be varied at will or according to various spacing of supports on which the panels are mounted.
  • the supporting segments of the panel holder may for example be in the form of retaining flanges bent downward from a plane surface, while the panel flanges are in contact with their lower edges, providing edge contact.
  • the supporting segments may be of any shape suitable for engaging particular panel flanges, and the panel flanges likewise may be of any suitable shapes. Apart from edge contact between the supporting segments and the panel flanges, area contact is possible as well.
  • two opposed supporting segments having the shape of circular sectors, are provided on the panel holder. If required, however, the supporting segments may alternatively form a closed, annular circumferential rim.
  • the panel holder may be secured to the supporting members in known manner. but in a preferred'form of the invention, the panel holder includes clamping tabs so fashioned that the panel holder may be clamped to the supporting member with a rotary motion, the tabs being pushed onto the supporting member.
  • At least one retaining stirrup may be attachable to the panel holder, serving to retain pipe, tubing or the like laid inside the corresponding panel.
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view of a panel holder having a structure according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 is a side or edge view of the panel holder shown in FIG. 1, looking in the up and down direction of FIG. 1, illustrated in connection with a C-shaped panel thrust upon it;
  • FIG. 3 is a side or edge view of the panel holder shown in FIG. 1 taken in a direction opposite to that of FIG. 2and mounted on a support;
  • FIG. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view of a central portion of the holder, as shown in FIG. 1, illustrating the manner of suspension of a pipe from the panel holder by a retaining stirrup;
  • FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the panel holder shown in FIG. I mounted on a support and suspending a pipe and also illustrating the position of a panel engaging the holder and covering the pipe;
  • FIG. 6 is a fragmentary sectional view taken through a portion of the holder and the support shown in FIG. 3.
  • the holder having a structure according to the invention is shown at 1, generally more or less in the shape of a pie plate having a flat platelike central surface 2.
  • Two similar panel supporting segments 3, on opposite sides of the plate, are bent away from the plane of the plate, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, at an angle of about 40.
  • the segments 3 comprising retaining flanges form portions of circular sectors extending through an angle of, for example approximately These marginal segments serve as supporting flanges on which to secure panels 8 in the manner shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, the panels having inwardly curved or bent edge portions 8a which hook over the segments 3.
  • the panels are, therefore, in elastic engagement with the retaining segments or flanges at their edges and provide a clamp suspension structure.
  • the panels 8 may be retained at various angles, since they may be rotated relative to the panel holder.
  • Two or more panel holders may be used for supporting a single panel, particularly if it has considerable length.
  • the plate surface is cut out on opposite sides, between the flanges 3 to form clip tabs 4, which are located on the side of the plate 2 opposite from the flanges 3, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • These clip tabs are provided to grip supporting members, such as the member 9, having outwardly projecting flanges 9a which are gripped under the clip tabs 4 when the holder is rotated in a counterclockwise direction.
  • the respective clip tabs 4 engage the flanges 9a and clamp the holder to the support 9 as the holder is rotated to engage the flanges 9a.
  • the clip tabs 4 are cut so that they are oriented in the same rotational direction around the holder and are designed to engage the flanges 9a of the supporting member 9, illustrated in U-shaped configuration. The clip tabs 4 are actually forced or thrust over the flanges 9a.
  • the holder is also provided with upturned tabs 5 shown in FIGS. I, 2 and 6. They project from the plate surface 2 ol' the holder and make contact with the edges ol' the llnogcn when the holder is rotated into clamping relation with the mrpport ing member.
  • the tabs 5 thus prevent the pnnelholtler from being turned back after it is clamped onto the, supporting member 9, as seen in FIG. 6.
  • the panel holder In accordance with an additional feature of the panel holder, it is provided with a narrow slit 6 and a wider slit 7, as shown in FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, located at a distance for the insertion of elements of a pipe supporting stirrup 10, which is shown in place in FIG. 4.
  • the stirrup advantageously has the structure shown in FIG. 4, so that it can retain a pipe 11 or other conduit.
  • the stirrup is bent into a U-shape having one right angle leg 10a inserted in the slit 6 and a straight leg 10b, which is pushed through the slit 7.
  • This leg is provided with small projections 10c arranged to snap behind the plate 2 and thereby lock the pipe stirrup in place.
  • the pipe stirrup 10 is made long enough so that the pipe extending along inside can be moved laterally to some extent as may be necessary.
  • FIG. 5 shows an assembly of all of the elements of the holder and illustrates the manner in which the turned edges of a panel extend over the flanges 3 and how the pipe stirrup holds a pipe-adjacent to the holder concealed under the panel 8
