Abstract
Abstract The invention is directed to a conduit mounting device for mounting a conduit upon a mounting surface. The conduit mounting device consists of a base portion terminating in a nest portion. The upper surface of the nest portion is formed in order to accept conduits of varying diameters while the lower surface of the nest portion is undercut so that a plurality of similar conduit mounting devices may be stacked one atop the other. A keyhole slot is provided within the base portion to permit premounting of the conduit mounting device upon a mounting surface prior to installation of the conduit thereto. A further slot is provided for accepting the fastening device of a pipe strap in any one of a plurality of positions along the length of the slot. A scale is provided on the base member adjacent the slot to facilitate the positioning of a pipe strap fastening device to accommodate varying diameters of conduit. An adhesive backing may be provided on the base portion to permit mounting of the device upon a mounting surface without the necessity for additional fastening devices.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
88 words
A conduit mounting device comprising: a base member; an aperture through said base member for receipt therethrough of a fastening means for fastening said mounting device to a mounting surface; and a nest portion coupled to said base member and extending therefrom; a first surface of said nest portion formed to receive conduit means extending transversely to said mounting device; a second surface of said nest portion opposite said first surface is undercut to receive therein said first surface of a similar device when stacked one atop another.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
A conduit mounting device as defined in claim 1, wherein said first surface of said nest portion is formed as a V-notch.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
117 words
A conduit mounting device comprising: a base member; an aperture through said base member for receipt therethrough of a fastening means for fastening said mounting device to a mounting surface; and a nest portion coupled to said base member and extending therefrom; a first surface of said nest portion formed to receive conduit means extending transversely to said mounting device; a second surface of said nest portion opposite said first surface of a similar is undercut to receive therein said first surface of a similar device when stacked one atop another and said first surface of said nest portion is formed with a plurality of steps whereby a range of conduit means diameters can be accepted thereby.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
117 words
A conduit mounting device comprising: a base member; an aperture through said base member for receipt therethrough of a fastening means for fastening said mounting device to a mounting surface; and a nest portion coupled to said base member and extending therefrom; a first surface of said nest portion formed to receive conduit means extending transversely to said mounting device; a second surface of said nest portion opposite said first surface of a similar is undercut to receive therein said first surface of a similar device when stacked one atop another and said first surface of said nest portion is formed with a plurality of steps whereby a range of conduit means diameters can be accepted thereby.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
41 words
A conduit mounting device as defined in claim 1, further comprising an undercut portion adjacent said aperture to receive the head of fastening means passed through said aperture whereby said fastening means head extends below the surface of said base member.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
A conduit mounting device, as defined in claim 1, further comprising an additional aperture through said base member for receipt therethrough of a further fastening means.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
51 words
A conduit mounting device, as defined in claim 1, further including a slot through said base member in communication with said aperture, said slot arranged to receive therethrough a further fastening means; said slot permitting the selective receipt of said further fastening means along a substantial portion of said base member.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A conduit mounting device, as defined in claim 1, further comprising an adhesive backing upon a surface of said base member to permit said device to be mounted upon a mounting surface.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
