ABSTRACT:
A storage device for storing gladhands and an electrical connector of a truck or other vehicle that has pneumatic lines with the gladhands thereon and an electrical line with the electrical connector thereon. The storage device includes a housing having a plurality of sidewalls that define a storage area sized to receive the gladhands and electrical connector. The housing has an open side providing access to the storage area, and one of the plurality of sidewalls has an elongated slot therein that is sized to receive the pneumatic and electrical lines when the gladhands and electrical connector are positioned in the storage area. The slot has an open receiving end at the open end portion of the housing to allow the pneumatic and electrical lines to move into and out of the slot. The slot has a width dimension that is smaller than the gladhands and electrical connector to prevent the gladhands or electrical connector from moving through the slot and out of the housing. A retaining device is connected to the housing to removably retain the gladhands and electrical connector within the storage area.
