A clip for holding pipe, cable and the like on a support member, such as C-shaped member, consists of a pair of clamping jaws attached in spaced relation to an elastically deformable base portion. The base portion has two first bearing locations disposed in spaced relation and one second bearing location positioned between and spaced from each of the first bearing locations. At least a part of the base portion has an arcuate or arched shape with the convex side facing toward the clamping jaws. The second bearing location is positioned at the crown on the convex side of the arched shaped part of the base portion. The clip is resiliently biased into gripping relation with the support member at the first and second bearing locations, and, when the clamping jaws are pressed together, the gripping action at the bearing location is released and the clip can be moved relative to the support member. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention concerns a clip for holding pipe, cable and the like on a support member with the clip consisting of a pair of clamping jaws and an elastically deformable base portion interconnecting the jaws.
Bearing locations are provided in the base portion for releasably retaining the clip on a support member, such as a C-shaped sectional member.
For mounting pipes or cables in series it has been known to insert specially designed clips into a C-shaped sectional member for securing the pipe or cable to such support members.
These known clips have, however, the disadvantage that they require additional means to prevent accidental lateral displacement.
Once secured, the clips can generally be released only with the aid of special tools.
So-called yoke clips have also been used in the past and have the additional disadvantage that they can be fixed in position only after the insertion of the pipe or cables to be fastened.
In addition to these known clips, there are so-called clamping clips which automatically clamp to the sectional support member due to the shape and dimensional arrangement of their base portion.
Such clips, however, are difficult to move laterally and, therefore, their use is very time-consuming when a large number of pipes or cable must be installed.
Further, these clamping clips are usually made of plastic and, as a result, have the additional disadvantage of temperature dependence and flammability.
Therefore, it is the primary object of the present invention to provide a pipe and cable clip which, while being easily movable, assures an adequate gripping action on a support member in the desired position.
In accordance with the present invention, the gripping action on the support member is provided by three bearing locations disposed in spaced relation, two bearing locations are spaced apart and a third bearing location is located between and spaced from each of the other bearing locations.
These bearing locations are located in the base portion of a clip and by flexing the base portion the bearing locations are moved out of gripping engagement with a support member
