Abstract
Abstract The invention consists primarily of an adaptable module, conduit and tube support system which, in turn, provides the foundation for the many conduits, tubes and other carriers employed in the distribution of gases, fluids, semisolids or other media as may need to be transported under various pressures and temperatures; to provide such support in efficient, workmanlike manner by utilizing structure of minimum weight and high strength ratio in the form of basically channel-shaped modules employing conduit straddling yoke portions; the same being securely retained and aligned in fixed locating rails and substantially immobilized therein by appropriate fastening elements.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
In a tube clamp for an array of pipe members, the combination comprising: pairs of superposable, complemental first channelshaped modules each having at least one pair of diametrically opposed pipe straddling yoke portions and integrated bottom walls, said bottom walls being perforated at predetermined spaced intervals with at least a pair of said perforations being complemental to those of an adjacent module, plural perforated means secured to diametrically opposed bottom walls of said first channel-shaped modules, and means to fasten a series of said last-named modules in abutting relation and extending through said complemental perforations and the perforations of said perforated means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
102 words
In a tube clamp for an array of pipe members, the combination comprising: pairs of superposable, complemental first channelshaped modules each having at least one pair of diametrically opposed pipe straddling yoke portions and integrated bottom walls, said bottom walls being perforated at predetermined spaced intervals with at least a pair of said perforations being complemental to those of an adjacent module, plural perforated means secured to diametrically opposed bottom walls of said first channel-shaped modules, and means to fasten a series of said last-named modules in abutting relation and extending through said complemental perforations and the perforations of said perforated means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
In a tube clamp for an array of pipe members according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the means secured to said first channel-shaped modules is provided with means to secure an adjacent tier of secondary pipe clamping means thereto to support an adjacent tier of similarly constructed pipe clamping sections.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
In a tube clamp for an array of pipe members according to claim 1, wherein the pipe straddling yoke portions are provided with resilient means to support said pipe members.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
32 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
In a tube clamp for an array of pipe members according to claim 2, wherein the means to fasten said modules in pipe engaging relation is arranged to extend normal to the array of pipes fastened in assembled relation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
In a tube clamp for an array of pipe members as claimed in claim 3, wherein said resilient means are impregnated with low resistance particles.
