Plastic pipe hanger

Claim 2

A hanger for pipe comprising: a flexible unitary collar formed with an interstice and being adapted for bending between a plurality of positions for engaging pipes of a plurality of sizes, said collar being formed with a cylindrical inner wall, said collar being further adapted for bending between each pipe-engaging position and a corresponding pipe-releasing position, said collar further including interlock means for releasably securing said collar in each pipe-engaging position, the means including an integral protrusion adjacent one side of the interstice and a plurality of recesses spaced apart along the collar with one recess adjacent the other side of the interstice, said recesses each adapted to interlock with said protrusion in contour conforming mating relation for maintaining the inner wall of said collar cylindrical; and a mounting member integral with and projecting radially outward from the collar, the mounting member adapted to engage means for suspending the collar from a support structure.

Claim 3

A hanger in accordance with claim 1, in which the protrusion is hook-shaped and the recesses are hook-shaped.

Claim 4

A hanger in accordance with claim 1, in which the protrusion is hook-shaped and the recesses are hook-shaped.

Claim 5

A hanger for pipe comprising: a flexible unitary collar formed with an interstice and being adapted For bending between a plurality of positions for engaging pipes of a plurality of sizes, said collar being further adapted for bending between each pipe-engaging position and a corresponding pipe-releasing position, said collar further including interlock means for releasably securing said collar in each pipe-engaging position, the means including an integral protrusion adjacent one side of the interstice and a plurality of recesses spaced apart along the collar with one recess adjacent the other side of the interstice, said recesses each adapted to interlock with said protrusion; and a mounting member integral with the collar, the mounting member adapted to engage means for suspending the collar from a support structure, the protrusion is hook-shaped and the recesses are hook-shaped, said protrusion includes three exterior leg surfaces with first and second leg surfaces interconnected by a third surface, said first and second surfaces being substantially parallel relative to one another.

Claim 6

A hanger for pipe comprising: a flexible unitary collar formed with an interstice and being adapted For bending between a plurality of positions for engaging pipes of a plurality of sizes, said collar being further adapted for bending between each pipe-engaging position and a corresponding pipe-releasing position, said collar further including interlock means for releasably securing said collar in each pipe-engaging position, the means including an integral protrusion adjacent one side of the interstice and a plurality of recesses spaced apart along the collar with one recess adjacent the other side of the interstice, said recesses each adapted to interlock with said protrusion; and a mounting member integral with the collar, the mounting member adapted to engage means for suspending the collar from a support structure, the protrusion is hook-shaped and the recesses are hook-shaped, said protrusion includes three exterior leg surfaces with first and second leg surfaces interconnected by a third surface, said first and second surfaces being substantially parallel relative to one another.

Claim 7

A hanger in accordance with claim 3, in which each of said hook-shaped recesses is defined by an inner leg surface, an intermediate leg surface and an outer leg surface, said leg surfaces forming three interconnected surfaces within the recess adapted to be complementary with and interlock with the first, second and third surfaces of said protrusion.

Claim 8

A hanger for pipe comprising: a flexible unitary collar formed with an interstice and being adapted for bending between a plurality of positions for engaging pipes of a plurality of sizes, said collar being formed with a cylindrical inner wall, said collar being further adapted for bending between each pipe-engaging position and a corresponding pipe-releasing position, said collar further including interlock means for releasably securing said collar in each pipe-engaging position, the means including an integral protrusion adjacent one side of the interstice and a plurality of recesses spaced apart along the collar with one recess adjacent the other side of the interstice, said recesses being adapted to interlock with said protrusion in contour conforming mating relation for maintaining the inner wall of said collar cylindrical; and a mounting member integral with and projecting radially outward from the collar, the mounting member adapted to engage means for suspending the collar from a support structure, the mounting member projects radially from the outer periphery of the collar and spaced angularly from said interstice, said mounting member forming a recess for receiving a suspension strap and carrying pin means for interlocking with apertures of the suspension strap.

Claim 9

A hanger for pipe comprising: a flexible unitary collar formed with an interstice and being adapted for bending between a plurality of positions for engaging pipes of a plurality of sizes, said collar being formed with a cylindrical inner wall, said collar being further adapted for bending between each pipe-engaging position and a corresponding pipe-releasing position, said collar further including interlock means for releasably securing said collar in each pipe-engaging position, the means including an integral protrusion adjacent one side of the interstice and a plurality of recesses spaced apart along the collar with one recess adjacent the other side of the interstice, said recesses being adapted to interlock with said protrusion in contour conforming mating relation for maintaining the inner wall of said collar cylindrical; and a mounting member integral with and projecting radially outward from the collar, the mounting member adapted to engage means for suspending the collar from a support structure, the mounting member projects radially from the outer periphery of the collar and spaced angularly from said interstice, said mounting member forming a recess for receiving a suspension strap and carrying pin means for interlocking with apertures of the suspension strap.

Claim 10

A hanger in accordance with claim 5, in which the mounting member further includes an aperture adapted for alignment with an aperture of the strap and further adapted for receiving an attachment member interlocking the strap and mounting member.
