Abstract
A hose bridge for bridging a hose extending over a surface, for example a fire hose for conveying water for extinguishing purposes, has a passage for the hose and defines a support surface that can rest on the surface. The transverse dimension of the passage in a direction transverse to the support surface is smaller than the nominal diameter of the hose and the circumferential dimension of the passage essentially corresponds to the circumferential dimension of the hose.
Claims14
Hose bridge for use in bridging a hose having an outer diameter, the hose bridge comprising:
- a supporting surface structured and arranged to rest on a substrate;
- and
- a passage extending in a longitudinal direction through said hose bridge for receiving the hose;
- said passage having a height transverse to said supporting surface and smaller in magnitude than the outer diameter of the hose, and an interior circumference which is substantially the same size as the outer circumference of the hose when said hose is received within the passage.
