Swivel attachment and branch line restraint

摘要

A swivel attachment and/or branch line restraint device with angular versatility and mobility for facilitating connection of installation components to support a pipe or other load relative to a support surface is provided. Advantageously, embodiments of the device provide a plurality of rotational or swivel degrees of freedom, which are substantially independently controllable, for its mating portions, which respectively engage corresponding mating portions of other installation components. The device embodiments can desirably be configured in male-female, male-male or female-female arrangements to enhance device utility and/or versatility, thereby advantageously allowing for use in a myriad of applications and installations, such as construction, utilities and the like, among others, to reliably support loads.

主权项

1. A swivel attachment device, comprising:
a saddle member formed of a flat plate having a first pair of wing portions and a second pair of wing portions bent to form U-shapes extending in opposite directions; a first mating member pivotally coupled to the first pair of wing portions to provide relative rotation about a first axis, wherein the first mating member comprises a threaded male member having an axis extending transversely relative to the first axis or a threaded female member having an axis extending transversely relative to the first axis; and a second mating member pivotally coupled to the second pair of wing portions to provide relative rotation about a second axis, wherein the second mating member comprises a threaded male member having an axis extending transversely relative to the second axis or a threaded female member having an axis extending transversely relative to the second axis.
