  • Patent number: 11578821
    Abstract: A pipe support system. The pipe support system comprises a first wedge block and a second opposing wedge block. Each of the wedge blocks comprises a base having walls, and forming an angled top surface. The angled top surfaces face one another and support respective replaceable caps. The caps are configured to support a joint or section of pipe along an outer diameter of the pipe. Beneficially, the distance or spacing between the wedge blocks may be adjusted by an operator to accommodate sections of pipe having different diameters. A method for supporting a section of pipe is also provided.

  • Patent number: 11371628
    Abstract: A pipe support system includes a pipe base, a threaded bolt having a head, a deck supported above the pipe base, and a cap removably resting on the upper surface of the deck. Methods for installing the pipe support system include determining a height of a joint of pipe or pipe component above a ground surface; selecting a length of the pipe base in accordance with the height of the joint of pipe or pipe component above the ground surface; slidably placing the bolt into an inner diameter of the pipe base until a flanged housing is landed onto a top of the pipe base; rotating the head of the bolt relative to the pipe base in order to provide micro-adjustments to the height of the deck relative to the pipe base; and placing the joint of pipe or other pipe component onto the cap, thereby supporting the pipe component above the surface.

  • Patent number: 11326720
    Abstract: A pipe support system includes a pipe base, a threaded stud having a head, a saddle supported above the pipe base, and a shoe removably nested along a concave upper surface of the saddle. Methods for installing the pipe support system include determining a height of a joint of pipe above a ground surface; selecting a length of pipe for the pipe base in accordance with the height of the joint of pipe above the ground surface, thereby making a macro-adjustment; and rotating a threaded stud relative to a stud housing in order to make a micro-adjustment to the height of t\he joint of pipe; and placing the joint of pipe onto the shoe, thereby supporting the pipe above the ground surface. A method for replacing the shoe when it becomes worn is also provided by reversing said installation.
