PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Band or Clip for Fixing Pipes or other Fixtures to Walls
and the like.
I, WILLIAM ASSITER of 207, Brixton Road, London S.W. Sanitary
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention consists of a clip or band for the more expeditiously and sightly
fixing of pipes or other fixtures to walls & the like. The invention is applicable
more especially to lend pipes with wiped metal joints but may be used for any
other purpose to which it is suited. The clip is made of lead or other suitable
material and may be plain or ornamental and when intended for fixing lead pipes
with wiped joints is made of such form as to enclose the wiped joint following its
shape in such a manner as to support the pipe when the clip is fixed by the wings
which are connected or formed on it to the wall or other supporting body. The
clip may be made to open for the purpose of enclosing the pipe or for some
purposes may be made closed and may be fixed to the pipe or simply support it by
contact. The form of the clip may be modified to suit pipes of any description or
material and may be made suitable for any sized pipe.
Dated this Thirty-first day of March 1892.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
A Band or Clip for Fixing Pipes or other Fixtures to Walls
and the like.
WILLIAM ASSITER Sanitary Engineer of 207 Brixton Road, Brixton in the
County of Surrey, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :—
"
My invention consists of a clip or band for the more expeditiously and sightly
fixing of pipes to walls etc. The invention is applicable more especially to lead
pipes with wiped metal joints, being used in lieu of the ordinary "tacks in
general use, but may be used for any other purpose to which it is suited. The
clip is made of lead or other suitable material and may be plain or ornamental and
when intended for fixing lead pipes with wiped joints is made of such form as to
enclose the wiped joint following its shape in such a manner as to support the
pipe when the clip is fixed, by the wings which are connected or formed on it, to
the wall or other supporting body. The clip may be made to open for the purpose
of enclosing the pipe, or for some purposes may be made closed and may be fixed
to the pipe or simply support it by contact, the pipe resting in the clip.
The accompanying drawings show a form of the invention as applied to a lead
pipe with wiped joints.
Figure 1. being a vertical section through band and pipe and
Figure 2. being a horizontal section.
In this design the band follows the shape of the metal joint which it encloses
and is shown connected to the pipe by a metal joint at back but it is not absolutely
necessary that the band should be fixed to the pipe although it is preferable; the
shapes of the joint and band together ensuring the pipe being kept in position and
preventing it slipping from its place, the joint being also concealed which is
desirable in some situations. Intermediate bands may also be fixed or connected
between each joint when on a long length of pipe.

page_text: In some materials lugs or collars are cast or formed on the pipe and the band
formed to receive the same or the latter may be fixed or secured to the pipe. The
form of the clip or band may be modified to suit pipes of any description or
material and may be made suitable for any sized pipe.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that
what I claim is :-
1. The band or clip which may be of ornamental or plain design for fixing or
supporting lead pipes with wiped metal joints to walls by enclosing the joint, the
band being fixed to the pipe or merely fitting tightly around the joint.
2. The application of similar bands for attaching to the pipes in other positions
than at the joints so as to afford additional support where necessary.
3. The application of bands of similar construction to pipes or other suitable
object of iron or other material.
WILLIAM ASSITER.
