  • Patent number: 9404859
    Abstract: Systems for very early smoke detection are disclosed, including details of tube hangers that may be used to hang sampling tubes for very early smoke detection systems. The systems and components thereof may be temporarily installed in aerospace vehicles during manufacturing. The tube hangers are generally compact, allowing use in confined spaces and/or near obstructions. Tube hangers comprise a support coupling mechanism, a tube clamp, and one or more suspension arms that span between the support coupling mechanism and the tube clamp. Tube hangers may be a unitary body that defines a tube clamp, one or more suspension arms, and a support coupling mechanism. Tube clamps define a tube clamp opening generally facing away from the support coupling mechanism.
