Abstract
A support for sheaves of pipe that prevents each pipe (4) individually and each sheaf as a whole from sagging. Each pipe extends through a more or less matching perforation. The support comprises at least two adjacent, parallel, and mutually attached disks (2 or 22) containing perforations (6 or 30) uniformly distributed at an angle of 60.degree. and matching the outer cross-section of the pipe. Every nth perforation in every nth line along one of the major axes (8, 10, & 12 or 24, 26, & 28) of distribution is concentrically expanded into the vicinity of the (n-1)th surrounding perforations (6 or 30), wherein n=2 or 3. The particular expansions (14 or 30) in subsequent disks (2a & 2b or 22a & 22b) are displaced such that every expansion in one disk is coaxial with a perforation (6c or 30b) left in the other disk.
