ABSTRACT:
A mechanical support for a short flexible hose section including a rigid L-shaped bracket having an upright leg to an upper end of which is rigidly secured a short rigid conduit section, which is disposed crosswise of said leg and to an inner end of which is secured one end of a flexible hose. The other lower horizontal leg of said bracket, which extends under said flexible hose, terminates in an upright bearing sleeve which rotatively receives a pivot pin. One end of a rigid arm, constituting the other section of said mechanical support, has one end secured to the upper end of said pivot pin for swingably supporting the arm relative to said bracket. A second short conduit section is rigidly secured to the other upturned end of said arm. The other end of said flexible hose is secured to the inner end of said last mentioned rigid conduit section. One end of a conventional semi-rigid hose is connected to the other outer end of said second short conduit section and the opposite end of said semi-rigid hose is connected to the outer end of a corresponding short conduit section of a second identical mechanical support to provide a continuous conduit between the two rigid conduit sections which are supported by the brackets, so that one of said mechanical supports may travel back and forth relative to the other mechanical support without twisting or kinking the semi-rigid hose, due to the fact that the arms of the mechanical supports will swing back and forth relative to their supporting brackets to maintain the ends of the flexible hoses, supported by said arms, substantially in alignment with the adjacent ends of the semi-rigid hose.
