  • Patent number: 5303885
    Abstract: A pipe hanger assembly that provides infinite adjustment of vertical spacing throughout a wide range of adjustability includes a pipe clamp member comprising a first wire or rod having a linear segment extending upwardly from a distal open circular loop. The end of the circular portion include an integrally formed hook portion adapted to engage a distal portion of the linear segment. The wire or rod is preferably formed of resilient material, such as steel wire, so that the circular loop may be deformed to open and engage the circumferential surface of a pipe, and then closed about the pipe by engaging the hook about the linear segment. The assembly also includes a second wire or rod having a linear segment and an integral upper eye formed thereby. The eye is secured to a structural member by a screw or nail. The spring clip of the pipe hanger assembly includes a central web, and two pair of arms extending integrally from the web.
