Pivoting bracket

A method to aid in supporting conduits and support mechanisms which support conduits to prevent undue strain, premature ware, and failure comprising:

• providing a pivoting bracket 10 comprising
• a base plate 20;
• an upright base 30 secured to the base plate 20;
• wherein the upright base 30 has a first side of a hinge;
• an upright swing arm 40 hingedly secured to the upright base 30;
• wherein the upright swing arm 40 has a second side of the hinge which corresponds to and mates with the first side of the hinge;
• and
• a center axle 55 joining the first side of the hinge to the second side of the hinge;
• securing the pivoting bracket to a cab of a vehicle;
• securing conduits and/or support mechanisms which support the conduits to the upright swing arm;
• wherein the conduits and/or support mechanisms are permitted to swing from the upright swing arm, preventing undue strain, premature wear, and failure from a turning action of the cab relative to a trailer;
• and
• wherein the conduits and/or support mechanisms are prevented from rubbing on the back of the tractor cab, avoiding damage to the paint on the cab itself and also additional rub/wear on the conduits themselves.
