Patent ID: 7963567

Claim:
A pipe support for use with a support member having first and second opposing sides and an opening in the support member through which the pipe extends during use, the pipe support comprising: a tubular insert extending along a longitudinal axis and sized to snugly fit over the pipe during use so the longitudinal axis of the tubular insert coincides with a longitudinal axis of the pipe, the tubular insert comprising: a flange extending outwardly from a base end of the tubular insert and a skirt at the end opposite the base end of the tubular insert, the skirt ending in a lip at a distal end of the skirt portion with a plurality of slits extending though the lip and at least a portion of the skirt to form resilient skirt members that can be moved toward the longitudinal axis, external threads on at least one of the base and skirt; and a plurality of resilient latches extending from the flange substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and located outward of the base a predetermined distance, the latches having an outwardly facing latching surface and located to fit through the opening in the support member so the flange and latching surface abut opposing sides of the support member during use of the tubular insert, each resilient latch having an inward facing abutting surface; a collar having internal collar threads located to threadingly engage the threads on the tubular insert, the collar and skirt having mating surfaces located to abut one another to move the resilient skirt members inward toward the pipe as the collar moves toward the flange of the tubular insert during use of the tubular insert, the collar having an outwardly facing abutting surface located and configured to abut the inward facing abutting surfaces on the resilient latches to move the resilient latches outward as the collar moves toward the flange and between the resilient latches and the base during use of the tubular insert.
