Abstract

The present invention relates to a holding device for pipes and a method of making and using same. The holding device includes a fixed support bracket and at least one elastic element arranged with the fixed support bracket. A clip is supported by the at least one elastic element such that the clip is movable in all spatial directions and is decoupled from the fixed support bracket by way of the at least one elastic element. The holding device of the present invention prevents the deterioration of acoustic properties even under critical conditions.
