Abstract
Apparatus is disclosed herein for supporting a length of flexible, convoluted hose from an outlet on a motor vehicle or the like to a disposal inlet. The apparatus includes a pair of rails arranged in sliding relationship by a hook arrangment taking the form of a hooked cut-out folded over upon itself to define a retainer for receiving the peripheral edge of the other rail. A mounting bracket joins one end of the rail to the outlet and a clamp releasable secures the rail and bracket to the outlet. The mounting bracket includes support flanges which are angled disposed with respect to each other in order to accommodate hose support.
