Abstract

In some implementations, an apparatus comprises a pipe, a stud that is forge-welded to the pipe, creating a forge-welded stud, a bracket that is operably coupled to the forge-welded stud, and a ladder support operably coupled to the bracket.

Claims (38)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a pipe;

a stud that is friction forge bonded to the pipe, creating a friction forge bonded stud;

a bracket that is operably coupled to the friction forge bonded stud; and

a ladder support that is operably coupled to the bracket.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the stud further comprises:

a nut that is operably coupled to the stud.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a vertical pipe.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a horizontal pipe.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a pipe containing volatile materials.

6. An apparatus comprising:

a pipe;

a stud that is friction forge bonded to the pipe, creating a friction forge bonded stud;

a bracket that is operably coupled to the friction forge bonded stud; and

a ladder support that is operably coupled to the bracket.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the stud further comprises:

a nut that is operably coupled to the stud.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a vertical pipe.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a horizontal pipe.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a pipe containing volatile materials.

11. A method comprising:

friction forge bonding a stud to a pipe;

operably coupling a bracket to the stud; and

operably coupling a ladder support to the bracket.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the stud further comprises:

a nut that is operably coupled to the stud.

13. The method of claim 11 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a vertical pipe.

14. The method of claim 11 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a horizontal pipe.

15. The method of claim 11 wherein the pipe further comprises:

a pipe containing volatile materials.
