Patent ID: 6902138

Claim:
A device for holding pipes comprising two complementary parts, intended for assembly, each having in its assembly face at least one recess of a semicylindrical overall shape, wherein the corresponding recesses of the two complementary parts form a shape that is adapted to roughly correspond to the exterior cross section of a pipe to be held between the two complementary parts upon assembly, wherein each of the two complementary parts comprises a body in which are disposed the at least one recess, wherein the body comprises an at least partially rigid material, wherein the radius of at least one of the recesses is adapted to exceed the exterior radius of the pipe to be held, wherein at least one of the recesses is lined with an intermediate half-shell made of elastic material, and wherein the intermediate half-shell is lined with an inner half-shell made of a rigid material, wherein the interior radius of the inner half-shell is adapted to correspond roughly to the exterior radius of the pipe, wherein the intermediate half-shell and the inner half-shell are secured to one another and to the body.
