  • Patent number: 4896701
    Abstract: An underground support device is provided for supporting an underground pipe or cable within the encasement sleeve of a horizontally bored hole. The support device includes a round collar having two resiliently spaced-apart ends which can be urged together to secure the device to the underground pipe or cable. A plurality of equidistantly spaced-apart and outwardly extending support legs are provided around the circumference of the collar which terminate in an elongate foot having opposing ends inclined inwardly toward the collar. Each foot extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis of the collar and has a greater length than the longitudinal length of the collar to facilitate placement and support of an underground pipe or conduit within the encasement sleeve of the underground hole.
