Abstract:
1. A pipe hanger clamp assembly comprised of: a bent metal U-formed E-shaped plate, having a middle tine and a pair of end tines with said middle tine cut as to form straight edges each parallel to and facing a straight edge on each respective one of said end tines such that the breadth of said middle tine is considerably greater than the breadth of said end tines, and further the outer edges of said end tines, being remote from said middle tine, are cut such that the outer edges of said end tines, taper towards the tips of said end tines, so that the tips of said end tines are wedge-shaped, and having two substantially round apertures central within said middle tine, the plate having been bent about said middle tine to form a generally U-form with a mostly flat bottom, with a portion of said middle tine forming the bight or end wall of the U-form and with the remainder of the E-shape forming the legs of the U-form, each leg forming a generally C-shaped side member, joined by the end wall with the portions of said middle tine forming lower support arms of the C-shaped members and with said end tines forming the upper arms of the C-shaped members, two female threaded receptacles contained within the U-form and aligned with each of the two substantially round apertures, a set screw threaded through the outer most female threaded receptacle, extending towards said end tines, such that an overhead support may be clamped between said set screw and said end tines, and means for holding the inner female threaded receptacle allowing limited angular and axial movement, while still retaining the inner female threaded receptacle within the bottom of the U-formed, E-shaped plate.
