Abstract
Apparatus by which a conduit, secured to two bodies which are connected together by an articulated joint, can bypass the joint. The articulated joint includes first and second pivots perpendicular to each other. A conduit extends through the first pivot and through at least part of the first body. A portion of the conduit projects lateral to the second pivot and between two spaced-apart guides supported by the second body or the articulated joint whereby the second body can pivot on the second pivot with the conduit laterally projecting portion arranged between the guides. Rotation of the second body causes the guides to apply torque to the conduit laterally projecting portion. The conduit extends from the conduit laterally projecting portion into supporting arrangement on the second body.
