Abstract: A tamper-proof conduit concealing system typically of a type typically defines an elongate solid rectangular structure, also known as a soffit. The bottommost surface of said structures is particularly prone to sagging, bowing, buckling and the like. In conduits of sufficient length, vertical surfaces are also subject to stresses and strains induced by the force of gravity. The conduit concealing system includes the provision within one or more surfaces of the soffit to be reinforced of a series of transverse ribs or gussets, that is, ribs or gussets which are perpendicular to the length of the soffit and, typically, also perpendicular to the surface to which the soffit is to be attached. Such ribs or gussets are pressure formed on the soffit and may exhibit depths in a range of 0.1 to 1.0 inches, and lengths in a range of 0.25 to 2.

Abstract: A self-locking strut-nut system for securement within a longitudinal constructional rectangular channel includes an element for selectable lockable engagement with the rectangular channel, such element defining a medial plane of the nut system. Such system also includes an element for threadably receipt of a complementally threaded rod, such receipt element having an axis transverse to such medial plane, the receipt element extending in length of the strut-nut system along such axis which exhibits upper and lower ends. The system also includes a rigid planar washer having an aperture. The system additionally includes an element for selectable engagement within the rigid washer, such engagement element extending integrally downwardly from a lowermost plane of the system, co-parallel to the medial plane of the system and transverse to the axis of the receipt element. Accordingly, the washer is secured transversely to the axis of the receipt element and against the lowermost plane of the system.

Abstract: A suspendable conduit bracket system includes a back bracket element defining, in transverse cross-section, an inner semicircle and an outer semicircle of greater radius than the inner semicircle, such semi-circles mutually integrally secured by ribbing elements, the inner semi-circle comprising a nesting element proportioned to the cross-sectional geometry of a conduit to be suspended. The bracket system further includes a radial portion protruding externally from the two semi-circles of the back element, passing through both of the semicircles, and having an element for selectable lockable engagement with a solid rectangular channel, a threaded radial channel extending through substantially the entire radial length of such channel, and proximally to the intersection of the radial portion with the back element, a rigid insert having a deformable aperture is secured transversely to the threaded channel.

Abstract: A modular system for the securement of a conduit to longitudinal constructional member defining in transverse cross-section continuous integral upper and side surfaces in which the side surfaces, at their lower ends, turn inwardly and upwardly to form respective internal longitudinal tracks within the member that are co-directional with a longitudinal axis of the member, which includes elements for horizontal suspension to the interior of the structural building. The system includes a back bracket having, in transverse cross-section, a partial polygonal back surface having several faces, at least one face comprising an externally protruding radial portion including elements for selectable lockable engagement between the radial portion and a longitudinal segment of the constructional member, the bracket having front surfaces defining resilient nesting elements having a partially opened-faced geometry, the nesting elements proportioned to the exterior geometry of the conduit to be secured.

Abstract: A modular conduit securement system includes a back bracket having, in transverse cross-section, polygonal back surface proportioned for securement to at least one constructional surface. Such back bracket includes a front surface having resilient nesting elements having a partially opened-face geometry. The back bracket further includes, along each proposed inner transverse edge, first complemental coupling elements. The conduit, proportioned for complemental coupling to the nesting elements of the back bracket, is provided. Further provided is inner front plate proportioned, in transverse cross-section, for complemental engagement with the first complemental coupling elements to thusly provide a modular conduit system formed by the insertion of the conduit into the nesting elements and by the coupling of the front plate over the first coupling element of the back bracket.

Abstract: A conduit bracket lock system includes a constructional surface engagement element having radially projecting elements for nestingly resiliently engaging a conduit, the engaging elements comprising, at respective ends, an integral cover plate holding element having, in radial cross-section, a substantially circular profile. The system further includes a reverse curvature hinge integrally depending from, and resiliently biased toward, a non-engaging side of the engagement element and, proximally to one of the holding elements, the hinge defining, in radial cross-section, a substantially circular loop curving initially away from the engaging elements and away from the one proximal holding element and, at the end of its curvature, bending back towards the non-engaging side of the engagement elements, the hinge end terminating short of the non-engaging side to leave an open polar segment at the end of the hinge.

Abstract: A modular conduit securement system including a back bracket having, in transverse cross-section, a plurality of polygonal back surfaces porportioned for securement to at least one constructional surface, the bracket having a front surface including resilient nesting elements having a partially opened face geometry. The back bracket further includes, along each opposing inner transverse edge thereof, first complemental coupling elements. A conduit, proportioned for complemental coupling to the nesting elements of the back bracket, is provided. Further provided is an inner front plate proportioned, in transverse to cross-section, for complemental engagement with the first complemental coupling elements to thereby provide a modular conduit system formed by the insertion of the conduit into the nesting elements and by the coupling of the front plate over the first coupling elements of the back bracket.

Abstract: A modular pipe system is provided for ease of securement to a ceiling or wall. The pipe system includes a back plate which is secured to the constructional surface, the back plate provided with a nesting surface for receiving a pipe and with longitudinal first complemental coupling means. The pipe is snap-fittably secured into said nesting surface. About the pipe is provided a first plate having longitudinal second coupling means proportioned for snap-fit engagement with the first coupling means such that the first plate will, in radial cross-section area between the interior of the front plate and the interior of the back plate, externally to said pipe. The front plate will be formed fire-resistance rated material such as a mineral-filled Noryl.
