Abstract
A mounting device for supporting tubing, flexible piping, ductwork, cables or the like includes a mounting element which carries an upwardly open, U-shaped support member having with a slide-in zone for receiving a tube needing support. Carried by the legs of the U-shaped support member are two dish-like elements. The two dish-like elements are formed independently of each other and are each hingedly connected to the interior side of a separate one of the legs of the U-shaped support member in face-to-face relationship. Each dish-like element carries a resilient arm which extends generally toward the other dish-like element in vertically spaced but overlapping relationship with the other arm. The uppermost resilient arm carries two, spaced resilient fingers which extend upwardly and angularly outward in the slide-in zone. The outer end of the upper resilient arm is arranged to impinge on the top surface of the lower arm when a tube is received on and supported by the upper arm.
