Abstract
Abstract A hanger for pipes, cables and the like including a lug member secured to a wall and having a slot to receive the hook portion of a channel member. A locking member is provided to hold the hook portion in the slot in a shock-absorbing manner when the assembly is complete. The channel member has slots which receive banding material to individually secure pipes or cables to the underside of the channel member. The banding material is secured by taking the two free ends and rolling the same tightly into a roll about an axis which is generally parallel to the pipe or cable being secured. In cases where high-shock loads are to be encountered, a second strip of banding material is rolled about the first and preferably it is rolled in an opposite direction. A tool is provided for rolling the banding material and an additional tool is provided to cooperate with the first in removing the first from the rolled banding material without disturbing or weakening the tight roll.

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
281 words
A metal hanger for supporting pipes, cables and the like, from a wall comprising the combination of longitudinal channel member having a base portion adapted to be disposed in a horizontal plane and having parallel flange portions extending upwardly along the opposite edges of said base portion, said base portion having a plurality of parallel slots formed therein and disposed transversely of the longitudinal dimension of said channel member, said parallel slots being adapted to receive securing means for the securing of pipes, cables and the like to said channel member, said flange portions imparting strength and rigidity to said channel member, a first of said flange portions having a hook portion integrally formed therewith and extending in the plane of, and upwardly from, said first flange portion, hence laterally away from said channel member, and hence downwardly toward the plane of said base portion, a lug member adapted to be supported by the wall and adapted to be disposed in a horizontal plane, said lug member having a slot extending therethrough to receive in hooked engagement the said hook portion of said channel member, said lug member having a downwardly turned edge portion adapted to abuttingly engage said hook portion in hooked engagement with said slot, the arrangement of channel member and the lug member being such that said channel member may be carried by said lug member upon hooking the said hook portion in the said slot of the lug member and abutting of the said edge portion with the lug member, and said channel member may carry pipes, cables and the like extending transversely thereof and secured thereto by means of securing means in selected of said slots.
