About Pipe Clamp-Ningbo Good Fasteners

1. Pipe clamp for fastening a pipe to a channel type profile element  having a longitudinal mounting slot having a slot width and being defined by slot edge portions ,the pipe clamp  including two clamp parts, each clamp part having:a curved pipe clamping portion wherein in a mounted state the pipe clamping portions of the respective clamp parts are positioned opposite each other to accommodate a pipe section, with the clamp portions extending around diametrically opposite surface areas of said pipe section;an anchoring portion formed at or near a first end of each pipe clamping portion to anchor the pipe clamp to the profile element, said anchoring portion essentially being formed as a leg with a hammerhead, said hammerhead having a width that exceeds the slot width and said leg  having a smaller width than the slot width, the anchoring portion furthermore having a thickness smaller than the slot width , whereby the hammerhead is insertable in the longitudinal slot of the profile elementand  rotatable to engage the slot edge portions and a flange formed at a second end of each pipe clamping portion, said flanges of the clamp parts being adapted to be positioned opposite each other; the pipe clamp furthermore including a tightening member  associated with the clamp flanges for tightening them together characterized in that the curved pipe clamping portion has a varying stiffness along the curve length between the first end and the second end of the pipe clamping portion, wherein on average the stiffness of the pipe clamping portion decreases or increases from the first end towards the second end, wherein the pipe clamping portion has a hammerhead sided half and a flange sided half, and wherein the curved pipe clamping portion has at least one reinforcing rib that extends tangentially over the hammerhead sided half of at least one of the pipe clamping portions towards the first end.

2. Pipe clamp according to claim 1 , wherein on average the stiffness at the hammerhead sided half is higher than at the flange sided half.

3. Pipe clamp according to claim 2, wherein the reinforcing rib has a varying height along said length, wherein the rib height increases towards the first end.

4. Pipe clamp according to claim 3, wherein the rib height increases continuously.

5.Pipe clamp according to any one of the claims 2 - 4, wherein at least one perforation is provided in the flange sided half of at least one of the clamping portions thereby rendering said flange sided half less stiff.
