ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for an airplane or other equipment is provided. The apparatus may comprise a multitude of connected arms which are adapted to rotate relative to one another. One end of the apparatus may be connected to a fixed wing, while another end of the apparatus may be connected to a moving slat. The apparatus may be used to deliver conduit from the fixed wing to the moving slat. The conduit may comprise one or more of an electrical de-icing wire, a sensor wire, a control wire, a fiber optic line, and a pneumatic line. Within an internal pathway of the apparatus, the conduit may be freely looped around a curved surface at least one-half turn and fixedly secured to a linear surface. Methods of use and assembly are also provided.
