Abstract: A conduit carrying device for use by construction workers and the like for manually grasping and carrying an elongated element such as pipes and other conduit members comprising a substantially U-shaped support frame member having a pair of spaced apart leg members defining a space therebetween, a closure member slidably mounted within guide channels at the respective free end of each leg member for controlling access to the spaced defined therebetween, the closure members being slidably positionable between an open position allowing access to the space between the leg members for admitting a conduit member therebetween and a closed position restricting access thereto for holding and retaining a conduit member therewithin, the closure members being angularly oriented with respect to the longitudinal axis of the leg members such that when the leg members are in a substantially vertical position gravity will urge each closure member towards its closed position, and a pair of handle assemblies pivotally attached

Abstract: A conduit support device which can be mounted and is operable in all positions for holding and supporting a conduit member comprising a substantially U-shaped support frame member having a pair of spaced opposed leg members extending therefrom defining a space therebetween, a closure member pivotally mounted adjacent the free end of at least one of the leg members for controlling access to the space defined therebetween, the closure member being rotatably movable between a closed position restricting access to the space between the leg members and an open position angularly related thereto to open the space between the leg members for admitting a conduit member therebetween, the closure member being movable to its open position in response to a force exerted thereagainst in a direction towards the space defined between the leg members, a spring member for normally biasing the closure member towards its closed position regardless of its angular orientation when installed, and other mechanisms for restricting t
