Abstract:
A pipe supporting device for supporting pipes traveling between support members, said device being removably mountable to and extending between a pair of support members, said device comprising:an elongate rod having a first end and a second end, said rod being generally planar and having substantially planar top and bottom surfaces, said rod having a first side edge and a second side edge; an elongate ridge being integrally coupled to said top surface of said rod, said ridge generally extending between said first and second end or said rod, said ridge being positioned generally between said first and second side edges; a pair of mounting means for removably mounting said rod to the support members, each of said mounting means being integrally coupled to an end of said rod; a plurality of coupling members for coupling the pipes to said rod, each of said coupling members comprising: a first bracket having a base portion, a first leg and a second leg being integrally coupled to and extending away from said base portion, said first and second legs being oriented generally parallel to each other, said first leg having an inside surface having a curve therein such that said curve may be abutted against said ridge, wherein said first bracket may be placed over said rod such that said first leg is adjacent to said top surface and said second leg is adjacent to said bottom surface; and a second bracket, said second bracket being adapted for removably coupling the pipe to said first bracket, said second bracket being coupled to said first bracket.
