Abstract
Abstract An omnidirectional sewer hose support comprised of a multiplicity of interconnected arches of planar form adapted to be deflected from an adjacently related stored condition and into an angular relationship and upstanding condition extended in a zig-zag formation to transversely underlie the hose for its support and by engaging in the reinforcement configuration of the hose to prevent shifting thereof.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
133 words
A drain hose support for making up vehicle-to-park facility sewer connections, said support having a vehicle connection end and a park facility connection end, and including; a series of like vertically disposed and adjacently related arches of flexible material having coplanar bottom edges adapted for ground engagement and each having a hose supporting header at a fixed height successively diminished progressing from the vehicle connection end to the park facility connection end thereof and opposite side legs depending therefrom, the endmost arches having one free side leg, and interconnecting means at alternately opposite side legs of all intermediate arches joining the series of arches for flexible separation from adjacency and into a longitudinally extended linked relation to supportably engage the drain hose disposed to decline in elevation from the vehicle-to-park facility sewer connections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
133 words
A drain hose support for making up vehicle-to-park facility sewer connections, said support having a vehicle connection end and a park facility connection end, and including; a series of like vertically disposed and adjacently related arches of flexible material having coplanar bottom edges adapted for ground engagement and each having a hose supporting header at a fixed height successively diminished progressing from the vehicle connection end to the park facility connection end thereof and opposite side legs depending therefrom, the endmost arches having one free side leg, and interconnecting means at alternately opposite side legs of all intermediate arches joining the series of arches for flexible separation from adjacency and into a longitudinally extended linked relation to supportably engage the drain hose disposed to decline in elevation from the vehicle-to-park facility sewer connections.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The drain hose support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the like arches are flat members of planar material.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The drain hose support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the alternately opposite side legs of the arches are joined at their lowermost end portions only.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
34 words
The drain hose support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the like arches are flat members of planar material and the alternately opposite side legs thereof joined at their lowermost end portions only.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
The drain hose support as set forth in claim 1, wherein the headers are transversely concaved for hose support engagement.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
52 words
The drain hose support as set forth in claim 1, said support being adapted for use with a drain hose having circumferential hose convolutions and wherein the headers are transversely disposed and engageable between axially spaced circumferential hose convolutions to position the said hose and said arches with respect to each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
63 words
The drain hose support as set forth in claim 1, said support being adapted for use with a drain hose having circumferential hose convolutions and wherein the arches are transversely disposed members of planar material and the headers thereof having concaved upper edges engageable between axially spaced circumferential hose convolutions to position the said hose and said arches with respect to each other.
