Abstract
An apparatus for supporting hydraulic or pneumatic hoses and electric cables which extend between a prime mover and a trailer, comprises an elongate channel shaped member 11 which is attached to an intermediate member 21, the intermediate member being attached to a bearing member 16. Elongate channel shaped member 11 can then swing from side to side and can hold the hoses or cables to prevent damage thereto. The cables can pass through the hollow bearing member 16 and into channel member 11 without needing to be unnecessarily exposed.
Claims13
An apparatus for supporting conduit extending between two vehicles, the apparatus comprising an elongate member for supporting the conduit within the elongate member, and an intermediate member attached to a bearing member, the intermediate member attached to the elongate member, the bearing member rotatably mounting the intermediate member to one of said vehicles such that the elongate member can swing in response to angled movement between the vehicles, wherein the elongate member is formed from a weaker material than the intermediate member, such that the elongate member will be preferentially damaged in the case of a large load or force being applied to the apparatus.
