Abstract

A pipe bracket of hard-flexible plastic for holding at least two parallel running pipelines, comprising two substantially identically shaped parts that can be assembled together to form the bracket, each part comprising a base member, at least two spaced retaining grooves in the base member for receiving at least two pipelines in parallel relationship, a flexible clamping inner leg extending upwardly from said base member between adjacent pipelines and two outer flexible clamping legs extending upwardly from said base member along the outer sides of the two outermost pipelines, each of said inner and outer legs forming with an adjacent leg and at least a portion of the axial length of a retaining groove, a U-shaped holder for holding a pipeline, each of said legs having a slanted surface as its upper end for guiding a pipeline into a holder and having a laterally protruding flexible detent at the end of said slanted surface that extends partly over the opening of the holder and engages the pipes' circumference to clamp a pipeline in said holder, resilient locking barbs on the upper ends of the outer clamping legs and complementary counter-hooks in the base member for locking engagement with the barbs of the part when the two parts are assembled together, the clamping legs extending over only a portion of the axial length of the retaining grooves so that when one part is inverted and pressed down onto the other, the clamping legs of one part will be offset from the clamping legs of the other part in the axial direction and will pass by one another when the parts are assembled as a bracket.
