Description

Holding device for pipe distributors, pipes or pipe-like elements

The present invention relates to a holding device for pipe manifolds, pipes or pipe-like elements for releasable attachment to walls, floors or ceilings of buildings. Such holding devices are for example in

Pipe systems used to securely fix central pipe distributors with respect to a flow or return, for example a hot water supply system or a heating system at predefined locations. Such holding devices are implemented, for example, in the form of distribution cabinets, in which one

Basic carrier with several receptacles or holding sections in predefined

Holding positions are provided, at which the pipe manifold or pipe elements can be releasably attached as required. However, such holding devices are also used outside of distribution cabinets if, for example, by means of such a base support with a plurality of predefined holding positions in the form of

Recordings for fastening brackets or pipe clamps for pipe distributors are provided. The basic beams themselves can then be attached directly to the walls, ceilings or floors of a building, for example by screws. Such holding devices for Rohrverteiier are often realized in the prior art in the form of plate or sheet-shaped base supports, at which holding positions are available for attaching pipe clamps. The pipe clamps are regularly provided with one or two screw connections and encompass the pipe distributor by inserting

Insulation rubbers to ensure a firm fixation by means of the screw connection on the

To enable basic carriers.

The holding devices known in the prior art are often included

different predetermined holding positions so that different height positions within a distribution box, for example for the pipe distributors on site, can be selected as required during assembly. The different shark positions are, for example, on the base support in the form of receptacles with screw holes for fastening screws to the clamp-like ones

Pipe brackets formed. A disadvantage of these known holding devices is that the assembly and disassembly is quite complex, since at least one screw connection must always be attached or loosened, and in the case of these difficult situations for the assembly, since not only the pipe clamps, but also the pipe manifold to be assembled and the screw to be fastened must be held by a user. In addition, those known in the prior art

Holding devices for pipe distributors have the disadvantage that they are not very flexible with regard to the holding position on the base support, that is to say in the distribution box or in relation to the wall, defined mounting positions. The recordings on such known pipe brackets are in fact provided with fixed positions, so that different attachment at different heights is also difficult to achieve in relation to other pipe distributors. This makes adaptation to the respective installation situation more difficult. Neither can be different

Realize distance dimensions from pipe distributors to neighboring components.

Against this background, it is the object of the present invention to provide a holding device for pipe distributors which has a releasable, simple fixation

different holding positions with versatile variable setting of different spacing dimensions and mounting positions and still a secure fixation of the

Pipe distributor enables.

This object is achieved with a holding device for pipe distributors with the features of claim 1. Advantageous refinements and developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

The holding device according to the invention for pipe distributors, pipes or pipe-like elements serves to releasably fix the same to walls, floors or ceilings of buildings, preferably within a mounting box, which is also used as a

Distribution box is referred to, or on other such fittings in the field of piping systems and is with at least one base support in the form of a

Carrier element or a wall section to which the pipe distributor is to be fastened and which is provided with a plurality of holding positions of a predetermined position for the pipe distributor, at least one holder is provided which at least partially encompasses the pipe distributor and which is designed for releasable attachment to the holding positions of the basic carrier The holding device is characterized according to the invention in that the holder has a holding area which is offset asymmetrically with respect to the holding positions on the base support for receiving the

Has pipe distributor. The holding device according to the invention thus comprises, in addition to one or more basic supports, one or more holders which are arranged in predetermined positions Stopping positions on the basic rack can be used and fastened, as a rule, a pipe distributor for a flow and a for a distribution box

Pipe distributor for a return with two holders each on different

Stop positions can be mounted within the distribution box. The holding device according to the invention is now provided with a holder which at least partially encompasses the pipe distributor and which enables detachable attachment to these different holding positions of the base carrier or carriers, the holder holding one

has asymmetrically offset holding area for receiving the manifold. The distances between the holding area and the respective holding positions on the base carrier are therefore different.

As a result, the holder can be fixed at the same holding positions of the base support at different heights by means of one and the same holder. By simply turning the holder 180 °, the relative position of the pipe distributor in relation to the holding positions is changed by a predetermined distance of the asymmetrical displacement. According to the invention, the holder thus serves not only for a simplified one

Fixation and disassembly of the pipe distributor, but also takes on the further function of varying the position in relation to the basic carrier. In this way, the height positions of the pipe distributors in relation to each other or in relation to adjacent walls or ceiling areas can easily be changed. With such a holding device, it is possible in a structurally very simple and technically very effective manner to set different spacing dimensions of the pipe distributors from one another, which are required, for example, by the manufacturers and the designers of heating systems. This is done on a basic rack or in a distribution box with normally defined stopping positions, which do not have to be changed in a complex manner. With the holding device according to the invention, the pipe distributors can thereby be fixed with greater variability with regard to the mounting position. The different spacing dimensions, in relation to other pipe distributors or in relation to wall or ceiling objects, can be easily realized without additional complex components, components or machining of the base support. Last but not least, the additional function of sound insulation can advantageously also be integrated with the holding device according to the invention in a holder. Since the holder allows a detachable attachment at different holding positions and offers a holding area with a partially encompassing shape for the pipe distributor, the holder itself can be selected by choosing the material, for example plastic or sound-absorbing Materials that implement the required vibration damping and sound damping without additional components, such as rubber pads or the like. With the described and claimed shape, the holding device for pipe distributors according to the invention thus has a large number of technical advantages over the conventional screwed metal pipe clamps, which are often provided with additional insulating rubber.

According to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, there are two fastening elements for mounting in each of the predefined holders in the holding device

Holding positions of the base support are provided, the holding area lying between the fastening elements each having different distances from the two fastening elements. In the holding device, each holder thus has two (integrated) fastening elements for mounting in the holding positions or

Images of the basic carrier. The fastening elements are thus provided directly on the holder for attachment on both sides to two holding positions. According to the invention, these fastening elements are provided at different distances from the holding area of the pipe distributor located between them. This enables a change in the position and location of the pipe distributor by simply turning the holder over and fastening it to one and the same holding positions

Realize (recordings) of the basic carrier. The two fastening elements can be formed differently. According to an alternative, however, the fastening elements can also have the same design. The fastening elements are preferably implemented such that tool-free assembly and disassembly is possible. The screw connections previously required in the prior art on the conventional ones

This eliminates pipe clamps. This also enables the pipe manifolds to be installed or fixed more quickly, but still very securely. The fastening elements for mounting in the different holding positions of the basic carrier, for example within a distribution box, are designed in such a way that they can be installed without distinction at the various predefined holding positions. Due to the different orientation of the holders in relation to the holding positions, different distances and thus different positions in the height of the pipe distributors can easily be achieved due to the different distance to the holding area on the fastening elements. According to an advantageous further embodiment of the invention, the holder is provided with at least two opposite snap-in or insert sections as fastening elements, which are adapted to be inserted into different, preferably identically shaped, receptacles of holding positions of the base carrier. The holder thus has directly integrated fastening elements at two opposite ends, namely in the form of either snap-in sections or insert sections or a combination of these two, which can be inserted into the corresponding holding positions on the base support of the holding device. For example, projections, undercuts, partial bolts, pin sections or similar configurations can be provided as fastening elements in this form, as long as they enable secure mounting and releasable fixation in the holding positions of the basic carrier. With such snap-in or insert sections provided on the holder directly at two opposite ends as fastening elements, the holder can be mounted and detached in the holding device without additional components and preferably without tools. The holding device thus allows faster, more flexible, and yet very secure fixing and dismantling of the pipe manifold.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder has, as the fastening element, a latching clip with an elastically resilient latching tongue, which in a receptacle at the various holding positions on the base carrier of the

Holding device is releasably clickable. Such a snap-in clip has the advantage that assembly can be carried out very quickly. The holding device is closed by simply snapping the snap-in clip into the corresponding receptacle. The pipe distributor is nevertheless very securely attached in the desired position and location within, for example, a distribution box. The snap-in clip has the advantage that a

tool-free assembly and disassembly can be easily accomplished.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder, as a fastening element, has a nose-like projection for insertion into an eyelet-shaped receptacle of the base carrier at the predefined holding positions of the base carrier. Such nose-like projections can be provided, for example, in cylindrical or angular form at the free ends of the adhesive. The nose-like projections are thus present on the outer free ends of the holder and can be easily inserted into the receptacle of the base support after being placed on the pipe distributor with the partially encircling holding section together with the pipe distributor. Such a nose-like projection as a fastening element of the holder of the

The holding device can advantageously be combined with a previously described snap-in clip with a resilient snap-in tongue. However, it is also conceivable to provide a snap-in clip on both ends of the holder or, alternatively, depending on the elasticity of the material, to provide correspondingly shaped nose-like projections on both ends of the holder. Assembly could then also take place via resilient or articulated receptacles on the base support. For example, a beveled wedge-shaped projection could also be provided on one side of the pipe distributor and a non-beveled, more protruding nose-like projection could be provided on an opposite second side of the holder. The snap-in into the receptacles then takes place via a suitable material selection of the holder or the receptacles. Further alternative configurations of the fasteners with regard to this

described type of fasteners are also conceivable. For example, there may also be C-shaped fastening sections in the form of clip hooks at the ends of the holder. The fasteners can also be in the form of more complex constructions, such as a mechanical flap lock, a clamp socket or the like.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the fastening elements on the holder of the holding device are designed in such a way that they can be replaced in an upper or a lower receptacle of the same design of the basic carrier, rotated mutually by 180 °. The fastening elements can thus both above and below in the predefined holding positions of the eyelet-like, for example

Recordings of the basic rack are used. With a simple rotation of 180 °, different spacing dimensions and positions of the fastening can easily be realized in the predefined holding positions. The pipe distributor can do so

according to the needs of the respective recordings and positions within a

Distribution box or a wall of a building.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the receptacles of the base support at the predefined holding positions are made of the material of the

Base carrier punched out and bent out at right angles formed. The recordings can be made from the same material of the base support by simple punching and bending processes. After the recordings have been punched at the predefined holding positions, the respective eyelet-type recordings only have to be made be bent out of the material of the base support at right angles. The manufacture of the holding device according to the invention is therefore comparatively simple and nevertheless ensures that the pipe manifold is securely fixed and held in different positions for the variable setting of spacing dimensions. The basic carriers according to the invention can be realized, for example, from a metal material. As an alternative, the base carriers could also be produced from a plastic material, which can then be realized, for example, by molding or injection molding.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder is formed from an elastically resilient material. The holding section that at least partially encompasses the pipe distributor can thus be provided in a dimension that is slightly smaller than the dimension of the outside diameter of the pipe distributor. Due to the elastic, resilient material, the holder can still be mounted on the pipe distributor and, in the assembled state, has a slightly smaller effect

Internal dimension of the holder in the holding section a kind of clamping effect for securely fixing the pipe distributor to the base support.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder of the holding device with the holding region and the two fastening elements is formed in one piece from a plastic material, the holding region being realized as a section bent around more than 180 ° C. for gripping around and firmly holding the pipe distributor. The section of the hait therefore already provides a preliminary fixation on the pipe distributor after it has been inserted into the pipe distributor. The holder grips the

Outside diameter of the pipe distributor over a larger circumferential distance than 180 °, whereby a kind of preliminary fixing is already guaranteed. Even without attaching additional holding elements, such as screws or clamps, the holder is thus attached to the pipe distributor in advance and can be insured with the pipe distributor and then attached to the base carrier in the distribution box. The assembly and handling of the holding device is thus further simplified for the user compared to the conventional holders for pipe distributors: Neither additional screws for the metal pipe clamps, nor the additional attachment of vibration damping components, nor a laborious manual mounting of the holder on the pipe distributor by the fitter are more required according to the invention with this holding device. According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder of the holding device itself is formed from a sound-absorbing or vibration-damping material or has a sound-absorbing or vibration-damping material or element. The regulations for sound insulation in buildings, for example in piping systems, can be safely complied with using simple means. The holder itself can perform the function of sound insulation to the adjacent components, in particular between the pipe distributor and the wall or the

Basic rack, with ensure. The manufacture of the holding device is also

simplified. Low manufacturing costs can also be realized, since fewer components are required to achieve the holding function.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holding area of the holder has a cross section, preferably a round, an oval or an angular cross section, corresponding to the cross section and the dimension of the pipe distributor to be assembled. The holding area is thus specifically adapted to the respective pipe distributor and can thus ensure a secure hold when the situation is assembled. Alternatively, the holding area of the holder can also be realized with a variable cross-section or a shape in the inner diameter, which allows an assembly of different types of cross-sections of pipe manifolds and / or different sizes of pipe manifolds equally with one and the same holder.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the base support of the holding device has a plurality of holding positions on different levels in relation to a building wall and for changing a wall distance of different,

side-by-side pipe distributor. The base support is therefore not formed in one and the same plane as a simple plate element or as a wall section element. Rather, the basic carrier has a first section in a first level and a second section which projects offset thereto in a second level. With this measure, two pipe distributors mounted side by side or one above the other can be installed at different wall distances from the building walls or the walls of one

Distribution box can be easily assembled. The holder of the invention

Holding device can be differentiated on the different shots of the

Basic carrier used in these different levels and easily fixed. The variability in terms of location, position and wall distance respectively Distance dimension between the pipe manifolds is thus further increased according to the invention.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the base support of the holding device is formed with a lateral offset in one plane. The basic carrier therefore has a laterally offset mounting position for different pipe distributors to be installed. A lateral offset in one plane means that the base support is not formed in a straight line in a single orientation, but rather has a type of S-shaped offset shape. This advantageous embodiment allows, for example, pipe manifolds mounted one above the other for a flow and for a return flow of a hot water system or heating pipe system to be correspondingly offset from one another. This facilitates the installation of the lines and

Functional components such as valves or the like in the secondary connections, which branch off to the side of the pipe distributor.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the base carrier of the holding device has a number of different optional holding positions in the form of a plurality of pre-punched receptacles for changing a distance between pipe distributors mounted next to or above one another. The predefined

Stop positions on the base supports are therefore in a larger number than just a single or two superimposed stop positions. In this way, the exact height and position of the pipe distributor can be specifically selected by the installer. An even greater variability in terms of the distance between the pipe distributors can also be realized in this way. The fitter can activate the intended receptacles on the spot, for example by bending out of the plane of the base support. The other, pre-punched further optional holding positions simply remain in the plane of the basic carrier.

According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the holder is provided with fastening elements that can be assembled and disassembled without tools. Fastening elements that can be assembled without tools can be used, for example, by using clips, clips, clamping elements or the like that can be assembled by hand. No special tools are required for the assembly and disassembly of the holder on the base support of the holding device and around the pipe distributor, which the

Handling for the user is even easier. This is especially before Background to be regarded as particularly advantageous that when installing such pipe distributors in distribution boxes, for example, the pipe distributors themselves both required separate additional fastening elements as well as screws and tools in the prior art, each of which was laborious and brought into position and position with the hands of the installer had to be. This is omitted according to the invention if the holder is permitted with fastening elements which can be fitted without tools according to the invention.

The invention of the present application as well as further aspects and features of the same will be described in more detail below on the basis of several exemplary embodiments with reference to the attached drawings. The drawings show:

Holding device according to the invention with holders mounted on the base support without a pipe distributor. FIGS. 1 a and 1b show, in respective perspective views, a first exemplary embodiment of a holding device 10 according to the invention, FIG. 1 a showing the assembled state with the attached pipe distributor 1 and FIG. 1 b a base support 2 in the unassembled state. The holding device 10 essentially consists of a base support 2 in the form of a plate-shaped element which is to be mounted on a wall, a distribution box or the like, and a holder 4 which is intended for gripping and fastening the pipe distributor 1 to the base support 2. The pipe manifold 1 can alternatively also simple pipe elements or others

Pipe components as long as they are to be installed in a predefined position on a wall or in a box. According to the invention, the holding device 10 is provided with a base support 2, which has several predefined holding positions 3 for the detachable attachment of the holder 4 for the pipe distributor 2. The holding positions 3 are eyelet-shaped in this embodiment of FIGS. 1a, 1b

Recordings 6, which itself from the material of the base support 2 in the form of

Die cuts 11 are punched out and arched out. The receptacles 6 are of such a shape that fastening elements 7, 8 of the holder 4 of the holding device 10 can be detachably inserted and mounted therein. According to one aspect of the invention, the holder 4 has a special asymmetrically offset shape with respect to the holding positions 3 of the base support 2. The holding area 5 of the holder 4 is namely not symmetrical in relation to the two fastening elements 7, 8, as is the case with conventional pipe clamps. Rather, according to the present invention, the holding area 5 is offset asymmetrically in relation to the holding positions 3, that is to say the upper holding position 3 on the base support 2 in FIG. 1 a is closer by a distance dimension X in relation to the lower holding position 3, which is with the distance dimension Y, which is greater than X, is illustrated in Fig. 1a to explain the asymmetry. As a result of the asymmetrical displacement of the holding area 5, it is achieved according to the invention that a pipe distributor 1 on one and the same base support 2 with predetermined holding positions 3 in the form of the eyelet-shaped receptacle 6

can be attached at different heights: By simply turning the holder 4 through 180 °, the position of the pipe distributor 1 is shifted slightly downward, for example in this exemplary embodiment. The shorter distance X from FIG. 1 a is then in the lower half and the larger dimension Y at the upper end of the upper holding position 3 on the base support 2. Furthermore, according to the invention, the holder 4 of the holding device 10 in this exemplary embodiment is designed such that it is preferably tool-free and without

additional fasteners can be mounted at the holding positions 3. In the embodiment of the invention shown here, the holder 4 is realized in the form of an approximately egg-shaped retaining clip. With its holding area 5, which is offset asymmetrically, the holder 4 encompasses the cylindrical end section of a primary connection of the pipe distributor 1 by more than 180 °, so that it is not yet in the position

Basic carrier 2 assembled state is kept captive on Rohrverteiier. As fastening elements 7, 8 of the holder 4, in this exemplary embodiment of the invention the holding device 10 is provided with a snap-in clip on the upper side of the holder 4 and a peg-like insertion section on the lower side of the holder. Both the snap-in clip and the projection or the pin can be inserted into one and the same receptacle 6 at the different holder positions of the basic carrier. In the example shown in FIG. 1 a and FIG. 1 b, two holding positions 3 are present for fastening a pipe distributor 1. Alternatively, one and the same base support 2 can also have two further holding positions 3 for a pipe distributor 1 to be mounted above it. This is the case, for example, in a distribution box in which a first pipe distributor 1 with primary connections and secondary connections for a flow of a water system and a second pipe distributor 1 as a return with corresponding primary and secondary connections are to be installed. The threaded pipes or technical components, such as, for example, flow meters, ventilation valves, control valves or the like, are then attached to this pipe distributor 1.

The holding device 10 of this first exemplary embodiment is provided with a base support 2 made of a metal sheet, in which the receptacles 6 of the holding positions 3 are incorporated in the form of punched-outs 11. The base support 2 is also included

Provide screw holes 12 so that the basic carrier can be mounted on a building wall or in a distribution box with screw connections. The eyelet-shaped receptacles 6 of the base support 2 protrude at right angles from the plane of the base support 2. They are formed at such a distance and in such an internal cross-sectional shape that the fastening elements 7, 8 of the holder 4, which the pipe distributor 1 on

grips cylindrical end, can be used there without the need for tools. The holder 4 is, for example, made of a material that is itself slightly elastic, such as a plastic or a composite material, so that it is made of elastic springs can be attached to the manifold. The holder 4 has a holding area 5 corresponding to the outer diameter and the outer shape of the pipe distributor 1, on which the fastening elements 7, 8 of the upper and lower fastening of the holding device 10 are integrally formed in the form of, for example, a snap-in clip or projection. The holding area 5, as shown in FIG. 1 a with the different distances X, Y, is asymmetrically offset in relation to the holding positions 3 or in relation to the fastening elements 7, 8. By simply turning the holder 4 over, the and equal

Main carrier 2 maintain different positions and height positions of the pipe distributor 1 according to a predefined distance dimension or the like. In the case of such pipe distributors 1, there are frequently predefined distance dimensions according to the

Comply with standards in the field of piping systems. This

Different distances can now be varied in a very simple manner according to the invention. The simple reversal or turning of the holder 4 makes it possible to change the distance dimensions without a fitter having to change the position of the holding positions 3 or the base support 2.

In the first embodiment described above, only two holder positions 3 with receptacles 6 are provided on a base support 2. Alternatively, a base support 2 can be provided which, for example, has four holding positions 3 for two pipe distributors 1 mounted one above the other.

2a and 2b show a further exemplary embodiment of a holding device 10 according to the invention in the assembled state, the various possible spacing dimensions and height variations being illustrated in FIG. 2a and the installation situation in a side view in FIG. 2b within a

Distribution box 20 is shown. An upper pipe distributor 1 is marked with the circle mark O and a lower pipe distributor 1 is marked with the circle mark U

characterized. The two base supports 2 of the holding device 10 are mounted at a different distance from a fastening plate or wall, so that there is a distance B between the upper and lower pipe manifolds 1. Furthermore, both pipe distributors 1 are mounted with a holding device according to the invention, that is to say with a holder 4, which has an asymmetrically offset shape of a holding area 5. This is shown in FIG. 2a with distances X (smaller distance) and distances Y (larger distance) in relation to the central axis of the pipe distributor 1. In the Example of Fig. 2a results in a distance dimension A between the two pipe manifolds, which can be changed to a varied second distance dimension A 'by turning the holder and thus moving the height position of the pipe distributor 1. In this second exemplary embodiment too, the holders 4 are provided with a first fastening element 7 in the form of a holding clip with a latching tongue and a second fastening element 8 in the form of a peg-like projection at the other end of the holder 4. The two fasteners 7, 8 can

can be used indistinguishably in the respective eyelet-shaped receptacles 6 in the holding positions 3 of the basic carrier. The two separate base supports 2 shown in this example for the upper pipe distributor O and the lower pipe distributor U are shown here as separate elements. Alternatively, the holding positions 3 of the two pipe manifolds 1 can also be provided in a single, single base support 2, as shown in the following exemplary embodiments. 2b shows the installation situation within a distribution box 20, which is implemented, for example, as a sheet metal box that is mounted on a building wall. Here too, the holding devices 10 according to the invention are used to vary the height or one

Distance dimension A of the pipe manifold 1 to each other. The receptacles 6 of the holding positions 3 can also be worked directly into a wall of the distribution box 20, for example by punching and bending processes from a metal rear wall.

3a to 3e show different views of a holder 4 of a holding device 10 according to the invention according to an embodiment of the invention. FIGS. 3a and 3b show side views of a holder 4 according to the invention, FIG. 3c shows a top view of the holder 4, FIG. 3d shows a section AA according to FIG. 3a and FIG. 3e shows an enlargement of a detail of the holder 4 in the area of the Haltciips with the

Latching tongue 13. The holder 4 according to this exemplary embodiment has a holding bracket 9 which has an inner diameter in a holding area 5 which corresponds in size and shape to the outer diameter of a pipe distributor 1. The holding area 5 extends over approximately 270 ° of the entire circumference of the pipe distributor 1. The holder 4 is realized from a plastic material or from a composite material such that it can be mounted on the end of a pipe distributor 1 by elastic bending (cf. FIG. 1a). The holder 4 is each provided with two fastening elements 7, 8 at the ends of the holding bracket 9, which are designed in such a way that they can be inserted and mounted in predefined holding positions 3 with eyelet-shaped receptacles 6 of a basic support 2 (cf. 2a and 2b). The fasteners 7, 8 are at In this example, on the one hand the fastening element 7 in the form of a holding clip or snap-in clip with an elastically resilient snap-in tongue 13 and on the other opposite end a fastening element 8 in the form of a simple square one

Projection or pin for insertion into the receptacles 6. On the side of the

Snap-in clips have a tab 14 on the outside of the holder 4, by means of which the wedge-shaped snap-in tongue 13 can easily be released again without the use of a tool. This region of the latching clip with the latching tongue 13 and the tab 14 is shown enlarged in FIG. 3e. Alternatively, the holder 4 according to the invention can also be provided with two snap-in clips on both ends of the holding bracket 9. A variant is also conceivable in which there is a projection or pin 8 and a second projection or 8, wherein they are dimensioned or shaped such that they can be inserted into the holding positions 3 without a tool. For example, one of the pins can be realized with an oblique snap-in surface similar to that in the snap-in tongue 13. Other forms of fasteners on the holder 4 are also conceivable. According to the invention, the holding area 5

asymmetrically offset in relation to the fastening elements 7, 8 and thus in relation to the holding positions 3 of the base support 2. This is illustrated again in FIG. 3a with the two different distances X and Y in relation to the center of the holding area 5. There is a shorter distance X on the snap clip side than the larger distance Y on the opposite side. With this shape of the holder 4, different heights and positions of a pipe distributor 1 can be used

fixed stopping positions can be realized (see FIG. 2a) without the need for complex machining or conversion measures as previously.

4a to 4d is another embodiment of an inventive

Holding device 10 shown in detail of the base support 2. The base support 2 is realized here as a sheet metal strip with a straight alignment, in which four different holding positions 3 in the form of punched-out holes 11 are incorporated. In the central area of the base support 2 there are two screw holes 12 each for mounting on a distribution box or a building wall. The cutouts 11 are arranged in holding positions 3 (see FIG. 4d) defined for an upper and a lower pipe distributor and are realized as U-shaped cutouts with a central rectangular cutout area of the receptacle 6. The punched-out areas of the punched holes 1 1 can be removed from the plane of the base support 2 at right angles

are bent out and so the right-angled holding receptacles 6 for form the holder 4 (not shown). In this exemplary embodiment, the respective punched holes 11 are arranged in opposite directions 2: 2, that is to say that they thus form the openings of the punched holes 11 between them in the bent-out state. The number, shape and position of the receptacles 6 on the base carrier 2 can be varied as required at holding positions 3 and, for example, more than just four receptacles 6 with the respective punched-outs 11 can easily be formed with one and the same base carrier 2. This further increases the possible variations in the position and arrangement of the pipe distributors to be fastened with the holders 4 in the form of the snap-in clips (see FIG. 3a), as are the subject of the invention.

5a to 5d show a variant of the base support 2 for a holding device 10 according to the invention for pipe distributors 1. In contrast to the exemplary embodiment described above, the base support 2 is formed here as an S-shaped element in two planes. With this measure, two pipe distributors 1 mounted one above the other can be installed at different wall distances, so that the connection of pipes and components is made easier (cf. also FIGS. 2a and 2b with regard to wall distance B). Otherwise, the basic carrier 2 corresponds to this

Embodiment that of the previous embodiment. A metallic sheet metal element or strip element is provided with punched holes 1 1, which have a rectangular receptacle in the middle as an eyelet-like receptacle 6. The cut-outs are formed in such a way that the respective receptacle can be bent out of the plane of the base support 2 at right angles by the U-shaped cut-out 11. Here, too, there are two screw holes 12 in the center, whereby these can alternatively or additionally be realized at other positions, for example at the ends of the base support 2.

In the further exemplary embodiment, which is shown in different views in FIGS. 6a to 6d, the base support 2 of the holding device 10 is formed in the form of a base support 2 which is offset both in front / rear and in two planes. The area and the position of the stop positions 3 for the first pipe distributor is thus different in terms of a wall distance B from the pipe distributor 1 lying next to or above it. Furthermore, the position of the two pipe distributors 1 mounted close to one another is also laterally offset from one another, which is a simplification means for the installation of pipelines. If, for example, the secondary connections on the side areas of the pipe distributor 1 (see FIG. 1 b) laterally to one another are offset, straight pipe connections can be made with such a

Realize holding device. The holder 4, which in these holding positions 3 of the

Base carrier 2 are used, for example, correspond to those as described in connection with the previous exemplary embodiments.

FIGS. 7a to 7d show different views of a further exemplary embodiment of the basic carrier 2 according to the invention for a holding device 10 for pipe distributors 1. In this exemplary embodiment, the basic carrier 2 is formed from two mutually offset planes for different wall spacing dimensions. In the side view of Fig.

7a thus results in a type of S shape. The cutouts 11 are in this

Embodiment formed in multiple forms for each position of a pipe manifold to be assembled, in which case the respective holding position can then optionally be changed and selected on the spot. In this way, the installation situations and the spacing dimensions can be varied even further according to the invention with simple means, namely on the one hand by mounting the holder 4 with the asymmetrically offset holding area 5 upside down and / or on the other hand the first group of receptacles 6 on the punched-outs 11 is selected or the other, adjacent group of punched holes 1 1. This is for example in Fig. 7a and

Perspective view Fig. 7d illustrates, here only the receptacles 6 necessary for the respective need are bent out of the base support and the other two respective punched holes 11 remain in the plane of the base support 2.

8a to 8e show a further exemplary embodiment of a holding device 10 according to the invention for pipe distributors 1 of a pipe system. In this exemplary embodiment of the invention as well, the base support 2 is formed with a plurality of holding positions 3, which can be selected alternatively, in the form of prefabricated punchings 11. The respectively selected position is indicated on the punched-out 11 by

The eyelet-shaped receptacles 6 are bent out, while the alternative punchings 11 lying next to them remain in the plane of the base support 2. The holder 4 can then be used to attach the pipe manifold (not shown) to this

Recordings 6 of the selected holding positions 3 are mounted, with a

Turning the asymmetrically formed holder 4, the respective position of the pipe manifold can be varied even further. In the embodiment shown here, the holders 4 are provided in accordance with the design described in the previous embodiments. The holder 4 can also be formed differently, as long as they offset one asymmetrically

Have holding area in relation to the holding positions 3 on the base support. The holders 4 are preferably formed with fastening elements 7, 8 for assembly without tools. Alternatively, a tool-specific mounting of a fastening means, for example a screw connection, can also be present on one of the two ends of the holders 4 for secure fixing and holding of the pipe distributor in particularly stressed environments. The shape and configuration of both the base support 2 and the holder 4 can accordingly be varied as long as the configurations are within the scope of the following claims.

Instead of a holding bracket 9 in the form of a bow-shaped section, the holders can also have an angular holding area 5. The holder 4 can from one

self-sound-absorbing and vibration-damping material, for example a plastic material. Alternatively, additional damping elements in the form of rubber inserts or the like can also be mounted on the holder 4. Instead of separate base supports 2, base supports in the form of wall sections of a distribution box can also be realized. The recordings 6 are then realized directly in a rear wall of the box 20. In these wall sections of a rear wall, for example, the receptacles 6 can be incorporated in the form of the punched holes 11. There may also be separate base supports 2 for only one holder 4 on one side of a pipe distributor. Alternatively, leaf-shaped base supports 2 can be formed, on which left and right holders 4 are provided for an upper pipe distributor O and a lower pipe distributor U (cf. variant FIGS. 2a and 2b, separate base supports 2 being formed here). The base carrier 2 can be formed from various materials, including plastic for example, by injection molding. The holders 4 of the holder device 10 of the invention can also be realized differently than from a plastic material, for example from a metallic material with a corresponding clamping by a mechanism or the like. In the latter case, separate damping inserts would then be installed.
