  • Patent number: 4955574
    Abstract: A pipe clip comprising a baseplate, a pair of opposed arcuate-shaped strap segments; a flexible connecting-strut connected between the baseplate and each strap segment at a point that divides the strap segment into an inner end portion and an outer end portion, and mutually engageable closure means on the outer end portions of the strap segments to lock the straps in place around a pipe. The struts maintain the strap segments in disengaged position with their inner end portions adjacent each other and their outer end portions apart to permit the insertion of a pipe into the clip whereby the force of inserting a pipe into the clip against the inner end portions of the strap segments brings the outer end portions together and the closure means into engagement.
