ХОМУТИК ДЛЯ СПРИНКЛЕРА

Хомутик для спринклера содержит изгибаемую петлеобразную поддерживающую скобу, концы которой имеют по одному отверстию и в закрытом положении накладываются друг на друга, при этом первое отверстие в расположенном внутри конце поддерживающей скобы перекрывается со вторым отверстием в расположенном снаружи конце поддерживающей скобы и с запорным элементом, который в смонтированном положении введен в оба отверстия и имеет радиальный выступ, опирающийся изнутри на край расположенного внутри отверстия. Для простого и надежного крепления спринклерных трубопроводов на монтажной детали предлагается, чтобы сечение второго отверстия отличалось от сечения первого отверстия и запорный элемент имел на расстоянии от радиального выступа радиальное расширение, и благодаря радиальному расширению запорный элемент удерживается без возможности потери на краю первого отверстия и вставляется во второе отверстие. 11 з.п. ф-лы, 4 ил.

Опора трубопровода

Изобретение относится к трубопроводной арматуре и может быть использовано для крепления надземных трубопроводов. Цель изобретения - повышение надежности работы за счет увеличения поперечной жесткости крепления трубопровода. Опора содержит раму с крышкой и упругие элементы, каждый из которых выполнен в виде пакета V-образных поочередно установленных жестких и эластичных пластин, и внутренней и внешней обойм с V-образными посадочными поверхностями. Между этими поверхностями расположен пакет пластин. Ребро пакета ориентировано параллельно оси трубопровода. Внешние обоймы упираются в раму и крышку, а внутренние сжимают трубопровод. Пакет V-образных пластин дает возможность перемещаться трубопроводу в продольном осевом направлении за счет деформации (сдвиговой) эластичных пластин, но не дает возможности перемещаться трубопроводу в поперечном направлении и крутиться. 2 ил.

Support system for thin walled pipes - has support rollers threaded on tensioned steel wire

The support rig is for pipes with large cross-sections where the walls are thin and in danger of indentation. The support distributes force evely round the pipe so that it is securely held without risk of damage. The support consists of a freely hanging steel wire (3) on which a series of rollers (4) are threaded. Each roller consists of a nearly cylindrical sleeve (5) supported by low friction bearings (6a, 6b, 6c) held on a mandrel (7). The outer cover is curved so that each roller has two points of contact with the pipe (8). The sleeve is made from softer material than the steel wire (3) which itself has a steel core. There are plastic distance rings (9) between the rollers. The steel wire is supported at its ends in a framework with rollers (10) and a wire tensioning system (11).

Overhead mounting for pipelines has movable mountings to allow lateral and longditudinal movements for thermal compensation

An overhead mounting system for pipelines has the pipeline rigidly fixed at set points and with movable mountings in between the set points. The movable mountings have the hangers located on sliding mountings to follow thermal movements along the line of the pipeline. The mountings are improved by having the slides pivot mounted about a fixed point, enabling the pipeline to be deflected to either side to allow for thermal movements. The mountings have a compact design and allow the pipeline to be mounted close under the overhead supports, which can be a ceiling or a gantry support.

Pipe support with base plate and annular clamp - for hot and cold water pipes of urban systems in underground conduits

A device for supporting and fixing a pipe comprises a support (1) with a pipe-fixing clamp (4) and with two parallel shafts (7) disposed at its lower side corners, and a base plate (9) with bearings (11) in which shafts slide in the longitudinal direction of the pipe, preventing movement in the transverse direction. DETAILS Pref. the support consists of a curved plate (2) forming a housing for half the section of a cylindrical pipe, with two lugs (2a) with bolts (5) for fixing the clamp, and two side walls (6) welded to the edges of the curved portion of the plate, the two shafts extending through holes in the side walls. Each bearing (11) comprises a PTFE body (12) in which a bush (13) is supported by a rubber sleeve (13). (3 pp.).

Pipe clip with removable sector-type strips - these fit into semicircular halves secured between coupling flanges

The clip is for securing plastic pipes to the walls of buildings, and has two semicircular stirrup pieces with protruding flanges clamped together by screws. The stirrup pieces each have on the inside a removable sector-type strip (9, 10). The two ends of the strips fit between the flanges (3, 4) and are secured by the screws (5). Thus the clip normally holds the pipe so that it cannot slide, but removal of the strips allows sliding to compensate for heat expansion etc. The strips can be of plastic, e.g. polyester, and the edges of the stirrup pieces on the inside can be sharp.
