Clip-on pipe hanging clamp

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is therefore the primary object of the present invention to provide an improved pipe hanging clamp.
According to the present invention a pipe hanging clamp comprises a cylindrical clamp portion having an inner wall forming a hole for receiving a pipe therethrough, and a gap therein for allowing the clamp portion to be cinched around the pipe.
A mounting platform is connected to the clamp portion and has a first flange on a first side edge of the platform for engaging and extending over a first side edge of a mounting strap and a second flange on a second side edge of the platform opposite the first side edge of the platform for engaging and extending over a second side edge of the strap.
A mounting peg extends from the center of the platform for engaging a hole in the mounting strap.
An arm is connected to and extends from the clamp portion and has a member for also engaging the first side edge of the mounting strap.
The clamp portion, mounting platform and arm are injection molded of plastic as a unitary body.
The clamp is configured and dimensioned so that the pipe is cinched inside the clamp portion when installed on the strap.
This is done by inserting a mounting peg in a hole in the strap and angularly displacing the platform relative to the strap until the first flange is engaged with the first side edge of the strap and the second flange is engaged with the second side edge of the strap.
The arm is also pushed over the strap to permit the hook member to engage the first side edge of the strap.
The angular displacement of the arm provides a spring force that forces the hook member against the first side edge of the strap to thereby hold the clamp and pipe firmly in position.
