  • Patent number: 11781676
    Abstract: Hygienic standoffs to seal nuts, bolts, anchor brackets, and other mounting hardware used within tube and pipe hanger systems within industrial manufacturing facilities that require clean, sanitary, and sterile environments and more specifically to hygienic standoffs that do not require the use of caulk, adhesives, acrylic latex, silicone, polyurethane, rubber, or other sealing compounds. The hygienic standoffs instead seal to a pipe, tube, or other surface using an interlocking ridged seal of elastomeric material to form a watertight seal preventing the buildup of dirt, liquid, bacteria, and other contaminants.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11592123
    Abstract: A slope adjusting and locking pipe hanger, and more particularly, a bracket style pipe hanger that includes a plastic or elastomeric insert that is configured to be rotated to a specified angle to adjust, align and secure a pipe at a percentage of slope to place at an angle for gravity drainage and to a series of interlocking tongue and groove ridges and indentations to adjust and secure the percentage slope of a pipe in place for gravity drainage. The pipe hanger provides for supporting a pipe in either a horizontal or vertical orientation along a ceiling, floor, wall, panel or equipment frame. The pipe hanger further provides a smooth contact surface to prevent bacterial build-up and other contaminants from collecting. The pipe hanger is therefore suitable for use in sterile clean room environments.

  • Patent number: 10443644
    Abstract: A hygienically sealable anchor bracket for installation of block style tube and pipe hangers to a ceiling, wall, floor, equipment frame, or other paneled strata in which there may be no access to the reverse side, there being a need to secure the anchor bracket to an attachment fastener or toggle bolt and simultaneously shield the exposed fastener or toggle bolt structure from the environment of the clean room, sterile room, or sanitary room in order to protect the irregular surface of the fastener or toggle bolt from caustic cleaning solutions and to prevent the buildup of dirt and bacteria, the anchor bracket having a pedestal in communication with the cavity which encapsulates the exposed portion of the toggle bolt and secures the anchor bracket thereto, the anchor bracket having a plurality of receptacles for receipt of fasteners utilized in assembling block style tube and pipe hangers, thus securing the block style tube and pipe hanger and anchor bracket to the ceiling, wall, floor, equipment frame, or o

  • Patent number: 9822907
    Abstract: An offset hygienic anchor sealing bracket for installation of block style tube and pipe hangers to a paneled strata in which there is no access to the reverse side, there being a need to secure the anchor bracket to an anchor bolt or toggle bolt and simultaneously shield the exposed toggle bolt structure from the environment of the clean room, sterile room, or sanitary room in order to protect the irregular surface of the toggle bolt from caustic cleaning solutions and to prevent the build up of dirt and bacteria, the anchor bracket having bored pedestals in communication with the cavity which encapsulates the exposed portion of the toggle bolt and secures the anchor bracket thereto, the anchor bracket having a plurality of female threaded receptacles for receipt of fasteners utilized in assembling block style tube and pipe hangers, thus securing the block style tube and pipe hanger to the panel at a desired slope and center line.

  • Patent number: 9038968
    Abstract: A plastic, polymeric or silicone grommet used as a dampener or insulator for round and/or hex style tube, pipe and conduit hangers, and particularly to a grommet having a channel portion and a rounded edge portion which directly surrounds the edges of hanger brackets used as pipe supports. Each flat surface of the grommet is substantially rounded to prevent the collection of liquids, dirt or debris.

  • Patent number: 9033289
    Abstract: The present invention relates to block style tube and pipe hangers which include polymeric grommets that are used as a dampener or insulator for hanging tubes and pipes and particularly to a post and port arrangement for securing and aligning the silicone grommets during initial mounting and placement. The grommets are typically two opposing symmetrical parts that together define a passage having an inner diameter which directly surrounds and supports the pipe or tube, the post and port arrangement provides a structure and method for connecting the polymeric grommet parts and supporting the grommets on the pipe or tube during installation of the frame and support structure. Each flat surface of the grommet parts is substantially sloped to prevent the collection of liquids, dirt or debris.
