Claims18
A rail hose hanger comprising:
- an elastomeric support configured to be connectable at a first end to a coupler of a railroad car and at a second end to a glad hand of an air hose of the railroad car, the elastomeric support being a high strength elastomer material with a material property tensile strength greater than 4 kilopound per square inch (KSI), wherein the elastomeric support is configured to support the air hose of the railroad car when so connected;
- and
- an attachment clip, wherein the high strength elastomer material is connected to the attachment clip, a carabiner assembly, and a carabiner assembly connector connected to the high strength elastomer material and the carabiner assembly, wherein the elastic support includes:
- a first section, a second section integrally connected to the first section, and a third section integrally connected to the second section, and wherein the elastic support is uniform in width,
- wherein the carabiner assembly connector includes an elongated flexible member.

A hose hanger comprising:
- an attachment clip;
- an elastic support made from a stretchable vulcanized rubber and connected to the attachment clip with a material property tensile strength greater than 4 kilopound per square inch (KSI);
- a carabiner assembly;
- and
- a carabiner assembly connector connected to the elastic support, connected to the carabiner assembly, and connecting the elastic support and the carabiner assembly, the carabiner assembly connector including a substantially inelastic elongated flexible member, wherein the elongated flexible member includes a central section, a first connector connected to the elastic support, and a second connector connected to the carabiner assembly.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- a hose hanger having:
- an attachment clip;
- an elastic support comprising a stretchable vulcanized rubber and with a material property tensile strength greater than 4 kilopound per square inch (KSI), the elastic support connected to the attachment clip, wherein the attachment clip extends through one of a plurality of openings of the elastic support;
- a carabiner assembly;
- and
- a carabiner assembly connector connected to the elastic support, connected to the carabiner assembly, and connecting the elastic support and the carabiner assembly, the carabiner assembly connector including a substantially inelastic elongated flexible member, wherein the elongated flexible member includes:
- a central section, a first connector connected to the elastic support, and a second connector connected to the carabiner assembly.
