  • Patent number: 10851917
    Abstract: A seismic clamp for securing a utility pipe to a rigid rod includes a pipe holder that secures the utility pipe to the seismic clamp. A rod fitting secures the rigid rod to the seismic clamp so that the rigid rod extends transverse to the utility pipe. A spacer is disposed between the holder and the rod fitting. The spacer inhibits the rigid rod from contacting the utility pipe when the utility pipe is secured to the seismic clamp, and the rigid rod is secured to the seismic clamp.

  • Publication number: 20190376625
    Abstract: An attachment device for securing a non-structural component of a building to a structural component of the building includes an attachment device member configured to be attached to the non-structural component and to partially surround the non-structural component. A fastening component forms a connection between the non-structural component and the attachment device member. The connection does not compress the non-structural component and inhibits movement of the non-structural component relative to the attachment device member. An attachment component is coupled to the attachment device member and attaches to the structural component for securing the non-structural component to the structural component via the attachment device member.
