  • Patent number: 11014333
    Abstract: A method for assembling a reinforced non-compressible pipe support by inserting a plurality of generally cylindrical holes in a first sheet of insulation in a pre-determined pattern, inserting a similar group of holes in at least a second sheet of insulation so that the holes of both sheets line up when the first sheet is placed against a pre-determined cylindrical or flat form and the second sheet is placed on top of the first sheet thereby forming contiguous voids where mating holes are positioned adjacent each other, applying a pressurized flowable material to fill each void along its longitudinal axis, and curing the material until it forms a hardened material thereby forming the plurality of sheets into a non-compressible arcuate body having an inner radius of curvature that fits against a pipe or into a rectilinear block. Multiples sheets may be adhered and thermoplastic or resin used to fuse them together.

  • Patent number: 10962164
    Abstract: A pipe anchor is disclosed having a pipe trunnion stop for attaching to an outer surface of a pipe by welding. A mating top cradle and a bottom cradle generally encircle and hold a length of the pipe. The bottom cradle has a pass-through to accommodate the pipe trunnion stop. There is a base onto which the bottom cradle sets, the base includes a void into which the pipe trunnion stop is secured. An insulation layer is positioned between the pipe and the top cradle and bottom cradle, and around the pipe trunnion stop. A bolting assembly on the top cradle and a mating bolting assembly on the bottom cradle secure the top cradle and the bottom cradle to each other. Another embodiment includes multiple pipe trunnion stops along with respective pass-through and base void sections.

  • Patent number: 10252490
    Abstract: A reinforced insulation material having one or more sheets of insulation material having a plurality of voids in each sheet, wherein the sheets are operably connected to each other in a layered configuration, the voids mate to each other to create cylindrical or rectilinear pathways for insertion of adhesive or synthetic material to adhere the sheets into a layered or sandwiched configuration. The voids may be a variety of shapes including circles, squares, rectangles or other suitable shapes that upon formation of the layered sheets line up to permit insertion of material or dowels to create a reinforced assembly. The layers may be formed into a variety of shapes including a semicircular shape to go around a pipe, or a block of material. The finished assembly withstands compressive forces and provides insulation when in place around pipes or under tanks.

  • Patent number: 7472870
    Abstract: A pipe anchor having: a base cradle with a lug; a top cradle with a lug and secured to the base cradle so as to encircle a pipe within the base cradle and the top cradle; a locking mechanism with opposite mating components attached to the base cradle and the top cradle; at least one lug attached to the pipe; and insulation material filling a space between the pipe and the cradles, wherein the insulation material engages the at least one lug of the pipe and the lugs of the cradles.
