Adjustable bracket and hub for flexible hose support

A flexible hose support bracket assembly comprising:

• a first bracket portion comprising a first leg coupled to a first bar element;
• a second bracket portion comprising a second leg coupled to a second bar element, the second bar element engaging the first bar element;
• and
• a hub assembly coupled to at least a one of the first bar element and the second bar element, the hub assembly comprising:
• a primary support defining a first primary support end and a second primary support end, the primary support defining a primary cut out portion;
• a secondary support defining a first secondary support end and a second secondary support end, the secondary support defining a secondary cut out portion, the secondary cut out portion configured to cooperate with the primary cut out portion to receive a sprinkler head, the second secondary support end defining a first opening and a second opening;
• a pin extending through the first primary support end and the first secondary support end, the pin hingedly coupling the first primary support end to the first secondary support end;
• and
• a locking mechanism extending through the second secondary support end, the locking mechanism comprising:
• a first pin member engaging the first opening;
• a second pin member engaging the second opening;
• and
• a spring captured between the first pin member and the second pin member.

A method for coupling a sprinkler head to a hub assembly, the method comprising:

• positioning a primary support and a secondary support in an open position, the primary support defining a first primary support end and a second primary support end, the secondary support defining a first secondary support end and a second secondary support end, the first primary support end being hingedly coupled to the first secondary support end by a pin, the second primary support end being rotated apart from the second secondary support end in the open position, the primary support defining a primary cut out portion, the secondary support defining a secondary cut out portion;
• placing the sprinkler head within the secondary cut out portion;
• and
• repositioning the primary support from the open position to a closed position comprising:
• rotating the second primary support end toward the second secondary support end;
• positioning the primary cut out portion around the sprinkler head;
• and
• engaging a locking mechanism of the hub assembly with the second primary support end to secure the primary support and the secondary support in the closed position, the locking mechanism comprising:
• a first pin member engaging a first opening defined by the second secondary support end;
• a second pin member engaging a second opening defined by the second secondary support end;
• and
• a spring captured between the first pin member and the second pin member.
