    Abstract: A method of supporting piping on a brace pipe includes providing a brace pipe attachment assembly comprising a first brace pipe attachment device, a second brace pipe attachment device, and a pipe hanger coupled to each of the first and second brace pipe attachment devices, the first brace pipe attachment device defining a first brace pipe channel and the second brace pipe attachment device defining a second brace pipe channel; inserting a first pipe end of the of the brace pipe through the first brace pipe channel; placing the pipe hanger under the piping to support the piping thereon; and inserting the brace pipe into the second brace pipe channel, wherein the second brace pipe attachment device is a hook partially encircling the second brace pipe channel and defining an open hook side, the open hook side allowing lateral access to the second brace pipe channel.

    Abstract: A suspension loop clamp consisting of a blind rivet nut, a metal strip, and a fastener. The blind rivet nut is inserted into the flat strip through a circular hole in the strip. The blind rivet is then plastically deformed by compression axially applied to both ends of the blind rivet nut from an unset condition to a set condition forming a radially outwardly protruding bulge, which serves to bind the blind rivet nut element to the strip. The blind rivet nut bulge and the loop clamp it is attached to are then additionally dented and thus deformed in a radial pattern so as to be zigzag in shape when viewed through a cross section. This stiffens the protruding bulge so as to restrict the blind rivet nut from reverting back to its original shape when a tensile load is applied opposite to the flange of the rivet nut. The strip of sheet metal is then formed longitudinally into a loop clamp which has bends with holes, at each end, through which a fastener is inserted to clamp the loop around a conduit.

    Abstract: A cable management hanger for securely hanging at least one cable on a module structure, wherein the cable management hanger includes a ring member, a hook and a neck transition portion. The ring member is adaptable to hang at least one cable therethrough. The hook includes a tip and a neck member. The tip is connected with the module structure. The neck transition portion is connected with the hook and the ring member. The neck transition portion and the neck member affect the center of gravity thereby enabling the cable management hanger to support the at least one cable and to hang on the module structure.

    Abstract: A pipe or tube hanger consisting of a loop clamp combined with a blind rivet fastener which has the joint deformed to stiffen the blind rivet so it may be used as a tension member in the application. This will replace cast iron parts which have been typically used for this application. See FIG. 1. Because of air pollution many small cast iron foundries no longer operate in the United States. This novel methodology also eliminates weld joining of the two parts which requires post plating to restore cladding or galvanizing or post painting of the parts. Using this mechanical joint enables the use of pre-painted or galvanized material and allows fully finished parts to exit the automated fabricating process and go directly into shipping containers dramatically reducing handling and reducing the customers costs and making domestic manufacturing of the product competitively possible.
