Patent ID: 7331549

Claim:
A support assembly for supporting a pipe having segments of different diameter comprising: a plurality of mounting brackets, each said mounting bracket comprising: a mounting portion including a mounting face for being disposed in opposed facing relation to a planar surface and secured thereto with at least one fastener; and a pipe supporting portion projecting from said mounting portion in a plane generally perpendicular to said mounting face and including an arm portion having a generally arched surface sized and extending to support at least a portion of an outer circumferential surface of a pipe segment and thereby defining a pipe receiving receptacle, wherein at least two said brackets have an arched surface having respectively different radii so as to be respectively adapted to receive pipe segments of differing diameter from the other, wherein a radial center of a circular part of said arched surface of each said bracket is disposed at a same lateral and vertical position with respect to an predetermined, indicator part of their respective mounting portion, and wherein a distance from the radial center of the circular part to the indicator part is identical for each bracket, whereby centers of pipe segments respectively seated on said arched surfaces will all be disposed at a same lateral and vertical distance from said indicator part.
