Conduit support and spacer means

Claim 2

A conduit support and spacer comprised, in combination, of: at least two generally octagon-shaped separator plates; at least two male connection members on non-adjacent sides of said separator plates; and at least one bridge comprising: a frame; an arcuated collar attached concave inwardly to said frame; a multiplicity of struts connecting said frame and said arcuated collar; and at least two slotted connection members attached to said frame, each capable of mating with an aforesaid connection member of said separator plates to form a connection.

Claim 3

The conduit support and spacer of claim 1 wherein each of said nonadjacent sides of said generally octagon shaped plates, and each of said connection members of said bridge comprise: at least one locking means integral therewith, each of said locking means of said nonadjacent sides of said generally octagon shaped plates being complementary to each of said locking means of said connection members of said bridge, said complementary locking means being capable of mating to form a locked connection.

Claim 4

The conduit support and spacer of claim 2 wherein said bridge additionally comprises two complementary coupling portions positioned thereon in such a manner that a like bridge may be invertedly and rotatably coupled to the first bridge with the result that the arcuated collars of each align to describe a generally circular collar.

Claim 5

A conduit support and spacer comprised, in combination, of: at least two separators comprising: a generally octagon shaped plate, at least two of the nonadjacent sides of said plate forming connection members; two parallel protruding integral ridges on opposite surfaces of the nonadjacent sides of said plate forming connection member locking means; and at least one bridge comprising: a frame; a generally semicircular collar; two chord-like projections protruding outwardly from the respective ends of said semicircular collar connecting said frame and semicircular collar, with the semicircular collar being concave inwardly to said frame; a multiplicity of struts connecting said frame and said semicircular collar; at least two complementary coupling portions attached in equal number to each of said chord-like projections in such a manner that a like bridge may be invertedly and rotatably coupled to the first bridge with the result that the semicircular collars of each align To describe a generally circular collar.

Claim 6

A conduit support and spacer comprised, in combination, of: at least two separators comprising: a generally octagon shaped plate, at least two of the nonadjacent sides of said plate forming connection members; two parallel protruding integral ridges on opposite surfaces of the nonadjacent sides of said plate forming connection member locking means; and at least one bridge comprising: a frame; a generally semicircular collar; two chord-like projections protruding outwardly from the respective ends of said semicircular collar connecting said frame and semicircular collar, with the semicircular collar being concave inwardly to said frame; a multiplicity of struts connecting said frame and said semicircular collar; at least two complementary coupling portions attached in equal number to each of said chord-like projections in such a manner that a like bridge may be invertedly and rotatably coupled to the first bridge with the result that the semicircular collars of each align To describe a generally circular collar.
