<p>SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING AND RETAINING INSULATION A system for supporting and retaining insulation is provided by flange base plates formed with a bearing face for bearing against a structure surface such as a wall or ceiling and elongate insulation support members haveing a free end and a stem end merging with a flange base plate. Each insulation support member is foldable at the stem end to extend at an angle from a flange base plate and is tapered at the free end for impaling and supporting insulation. The support member is provided with at least one barb at the free end for retaining the impaled insulation. The flange base plates may assume a variety of operative configurations such as individual plates, strips, furring strips, purlin runners, and metal studs. When initially applied the elongate insulation support members lie substantially in the same plane as the flange base plate affording a safe environment for workers at the site. The elongate insulation supports are subsequently folded at an angle projecting from the flange base plates upon installation of the insulation.</p> |
