Abstract:
A pipe clamp includes two clamp parts, each clamp part having a curved pipe clamping portion, and an anchoring portion formed at or near a first end of each pipe clamping portion to anchor the pipe clamp to a profile element. The anchoring portion is formed as a leg with a hammerhead. A flange is formed at a second end of each pipe clamping portion. The flanges of the clamp parts are adapted to be positioned opposite each other. A tightening member is associated with the clamp flanges for tightening them together. The curved pipe clamping portion has a varying stiffness along the curve length between the first end and the second end of the pipe clamping portion, where on average the stiffness of the pipe clamping portion decreases or increases from the first end towards the second end.

Claim (Index 1):
A pipe clamp for fastening a pipe to a channel type profile element having a longitudinal mounting slot having a slot width and being defined by slot edge portions, the pipe clamp including two clamp parts, each clamp part having:\n a curved pipe clamping portion, wherein in a mounted state the pipe clamping portions of the respective clamp parts are positioned opposite each other to accommodate a pipe section, with the clamp portions extending around diametrically opposite surface areas of said pipe section; \n an anchoring portion formed at or near a first end of each pipe clamping portion to anchor the pipe clamp to the profile element, said anchoring portion essentially being formed as a leg with a hammerhead, said hammerhead having a width that exceeds the slot width and said leg having a smaller width than the slot width, the anchoring portion furthermore having a thickness smaller than the slot width, whereby the hammerhead is insertable in the longitudinal slot of the profile element and rotatable to engage the slot edge portions; and \n a flange formed at a second end of each pipe clamping portion, said flanges of the clamp parts being adapted to be positioned opposite each other; \n the pipe clamp furthermore including a tightening member associated with the clamp flanges for tightening them together, wherein the curved pipe clamping portion has a varying stiffness along the curve length between the first end and the second end of the pipe clamping portion, wherein on average the stiffness of the pipe clamping portion decreases or increases from the first end towards the second end, wherein the pipe clamping portion has a hammerhead sided half and a flange sided half, and wherein the curved pipe clamping portion has at least one reinforcing rib that extends tangentially over the hammerhead sided half of at least one of the pipe clamping portions towards the first end.
