A flexible hose support bracket assembly includes a first bracket portion including a first leg coupled to a first bar element; a second bracket portion including a second leg coupled to a second bar element; and a hub assembly including a primary support defining a first primary support end and a second primary support end, the second primary support end defining a slot; a secondary support defining a first secondary support end and a second secondary support end, the second secondary support end defining a first opening; a pin hingedly coupling the first primary support end to the first secondary support end; and a locking pin extending through the first opening.

Adjustable bracket and hub for flexible hose support

A hub assembly includes a primary support defining a first primary support end and a second primary support end, the primary support defining a primary cut out portion; a secondary support defining a first secondary support end and a second secondary support end, the secondary support defining a secondary cut out portion, the second secondary support end defining a first opening and a second opening; a pin extending through the first primary support end and the first secondary support end, the pin hingedly coupling the first primary support end to the first secondary support end; and a locking mechanism extending through the second secondary support end, the locking mechanism including a first pin member engaging the first opening; a second pin member engaging the second opening; and a spring captured between the first pin member and the second pin member.

An adjustable bracket includes a first bracket portion with a first leg and a first bar element, a second bracket portion with a second leg and a second bar element, and a hub assembly supported on at least one of the first and second bracket portions. The hub assembly can be configured to couple a flexible hose to the adjustable bracket. The first bar element can be telescopically received by the second bar element so that a distance between the first and second legs is selectively adjustable. A fastener can fix the first and second bar elements in a desired relationship. The hub assembly can include first and second support members that are pivotably connected to rotate between open and closed positions. The second support member may have a slot that allows the second support member to rotate and move laterally with respect to the first support member.
