  • Patent number: 7887012
    Abstract: A retaining bracket for holding conduits may employ a first half or stationary portion defining a semi-circular first conduit holding portion and a semi-circular second conduit holding portion. A second half or movable portion may be foldable onto the stationary portion such that a first arcuate groove and a second arcuate groove of the movable portion match the first and second conduit holding portions, respectively, to accommodate the cylindrical conduits. A first rigid binder piece may contact a long side of the stationary portion and attach to a first compressible insert and a second compressible insert. The first compressible insert may reside within the first conduit holding portion and the second compressible insert may reside within the second conduit holding portion and compress against the conduits, respectively. The binder and inserts may install into the retain bracket before or after the movable portion is closed onto the stationary portion.
