Patent ID: 7611101

Claim:
Vibration isolating pipe clip for securing a pipe to a support, in particular for securing a medium-carrying pipe to a wall or ceiling of a building, comprising: a rigid pipe clip body which is composed of one or more parts and is provided with securing means for securing the pipe clip body to a support, a vibration isolating member which bears against an inner circumference of the pipe clip body and is ultimately positioned between an outer circumference of the pipe and the pipe clip body under elastic deformation, wherein the vibration isolating member is a porous vulcanized rubber with closed cavities and separating walls between them, wherein the cavities are substantially unpressurized by dehydration of salt which remains in the cavities, in such a manner that in the event of a reduction in the volume of the cavities under the influence of deformation of the vibration isolating member, no significant pressure increase occurs inside the cavities, wherein the vibration isolating member has a form factor defined by the quotient of the surface area which is subject to load and the free surface area, and in which the cavities significantly reduce the form factor, and wherein the form factor of the vibration isolating member is less than 0.2.
