Embodiment Construction

[0009] see Figure 2 to Figure 3 , a pipe clamp for a plurality of pipes is indicated with reference numeral 10 and includes a generally planar clamp end 12 and a generally triangular clamp body 14 . Clamp body 14 is disposed about isolator 16 having three channels 18 configured to receive tubing (not shown) in a staggered arrangement.

[0010] The pipe clamp 10 has features such as figure 1 The prior art "triple clamp" shown is a smaller, more compact structure having a generally rectilinear clamp end 112 and a generally rectilinear clamp body 114 . The clamp body 114 has a plurality of channels 118 in a row from which the clamp end 112 extends generally linearly. In contrast to the triple clamp 110, the pipe clamp 10 holds pipe in a generally stacked and staggered configuration. In other words, at least one of the channels 18 of the isolator 16 lies outside the plane formed by at least two other channels. This configuration shortens the length of the clamp body 14 and re...

Abstract

A tube clip (10) includes an isolator (16) having at least one channel (18) configured for receiving a tube and a clip body (14) encapsulating the isolator in at least one plane. At least one of the channels (18) of the isolator is out-of-plane with a plane formed by at least two other channels. A clip end (12) extends from the clip body (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to clamps for conduits, and more particularly, to clamps for attaching conduits to vehicle components. Background technique [0002] Typically, plumbing clamps are used to install brake, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and other types of plumbing, especially in motor vehicles. Secures a hydraulic pipe with pipe clamps at discrete locations to reduce vibration to the pipe. Otherwise, this vibration can cause damage to the pipe, either by fatigue fracture or by causing the pipe to strike nearby components, eventually wearing the pipe through. Therefore, if the pipe clamp is installed improperly or is broken and thus falls out of its mounting bracket or surface, the pipe is at risk due to unrestrained vibration in the area of ​​the bracket. This unrestricted vibration allows the tubing to repeatedly strike the bracket itself and cause the tubing to break. [0003] In order to efficiently attach ...
