ABSTRACT:
A conduit carrying device for use by construction workers and the like for manually grasping and carrying an elongated element such as pipes and other conduit members comprising a substantially U-shaped support frame member having a pair of spaced apart leg members defining a space therebetween, a closure member slidably mounted within guide channels at the respective free end of each leg member for controlling access to the spaced defined therebetween, the closure members being slidably positionable between an open position allowing access to the space between the leg members for admitting a conduit member therebetween and a closed position restricting access thereto for holding and retaining a conduit member therewithin, the closure members being angularly oriented with respect to the longitudinal axis of the leg members such that when the leg members are in a substantially vertical position gravity will urge each closure member towards its closed position, and a pair of handle assemblies pivotally attached to the support frame member and projecting laterally therefrom, each handle assembly being pivotally movable between a folded storage position located adjacent and substantially parallel to one of the respective leg members and a horizontally extended carrying position for gripping by a user thereof to grasp and carry the device with a conduit member held therein.
