Abstract: A saddle member for a saddle clamp has a generally U-shaped cross section and is made from a flat sheet metal blank by a series of folding, punching and welding operations. In the finished saddle member, generally parallel side walls are spaced apart and have arcuate free ends. A base extends between the side walls opposite the free ends, and end walls extend between the side margins of the side walls. The end walls include flanges on the side walls and the base and weldments that extend along substantially the entire lengths of the side-wall flanges to provide end walls that form continuous surfaces with both the side walls and the base.

Abstract: A pipe hanger adapted to support automobile tailpipes and the like comprises a support member with one end portion disposed between and pivotably mounted to end portions of a pair of flexible strap members. The other support member end portion is adapted for mounting the hanger to a support surface such as the auto chassis. A U-shaped bracket straddles and is pivotably mounted to the other end portions of the strap members. Hanger means including an arcuate support portion for a complementarily configured pipe clamp is pivotably mounted to the web of the U-shaped bracket for pivotal movement about an axis perpendicular to the pivotal axes of the bracket and support member with the strap members.
