Abstract
A utility service apparatus having at least one utility segment with a conduit system having an elongated body. A coupling structure is positioned at both ends. The coupling structure at one end is attachable to the coupling structure at the other end. A plurality of utility service components extend through the elongated body. Coupling a first end of a first utility segment with the second end of another utility segment assembly operably connects each of the plurality of utility service components to another utility segment assembly. Some of the segment assemblies include a unit head positioned along the elongated body. The unit head has a plurality of utility service ports coupled to the utility service components. Service implements can be attached thereto.
Claims11
A utility service apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of utility segment assemblies, each of the plurality of utility segment assemblies including:
- a conduit system in the form of an elongated body having a first end and a second end, a first coupling structure being positioned at the first end and a second coupling structure being positioned at the second end, wherein the first coupling structure positioned at the first end of a first one of the plurality of utility segment assemblies is operably couplable to the second coupling structure of a second one of the plurality of utility segment assemblies, the conduit system further including a plurality of utility service components extending through the elongated body, and each having a first end and a second end which coincides with the first and second ends of the elongated body, respectively, whereupon coupling a first end of the first one of the plurality of utility segment assemblies with the second end of the second one of the plurality of utility segment assemblies automatically operably connects the first end of the plurality of utility service components of the first one of the plurality of utility segment assemblies to the second end of the second one of the plurality of utility segment assemblies so as to be operably engaged;
- and
- at least one of the plurality of utility segment assemblies further including a unit head positioned between the first and second end of the elongated body, the unit head including a body defining a cavity with a control surface having a plurality of utility service ports operably coupled to the plurality of utility service components, with the service ports being accessible and usable by a user.
