Abstract

A system for anchoring a pipe, such as a train pipe, to the inside of an elongated right angle structural part or member, such as may be mounted on a sidewall of a rail car. The elongated right angle structural part has a plurality of spaced bolt receiving holes extending through one leg and a plurality of pipe anchor bases, with brackets fastened thereto, are attached to the right angle structural member by means of a single bolt extending through a bracket and one of the spaced bolt receiving holes. Each pipe anchor base may be of the general type found in known pipe anchors as disclosed, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,546,792 dated Mar. 27, 1951, U.S. Pat. No. 2,625,354 dated Jan. 13, 1953 and U.S. Pat. No. 4,222,538 dated Sep. 16, 1980. Once a combined pipe anchor base and its bracket has been installed on the inside of the right angle structural part, relative movement between the bracket/anchor base combination and the structural part will be prevented. Each bracket will have an elongated opening in a portion thereof which engages one of the legs of the right angle structural part which opening will permit the insertion of a bolt through the bracket and through one of the holes in a leg of the structural part with a portion of the elongated opening registering with the bolt receiving hole.
