<p>This apparatus is designed for transferring fluid from a fluid source to a fluid consumer. The system includes two substantially identical, extendable and collapsable pipe systems each of which includes a plurality of substantially rigid pipes and a plurality of pipe coupling devices. The pipe coupling devices are arranged to pivotally connect the ends of the pipes together so that fluid may flow from pipe to pipe through the pipe coupling devices. A plurality of holding devices are arranged to hold a specific portion of a pipe in one pipe system in a pivotal spaced apart relationship to a corresponding portion of a pipe in the other pipe system. Fluid from the flow source communicates with one end of each of the pipe systems through the plurality of pipes, through the plurality of pipe coupling devices to a fluid consumer or fluid distributor. This apparatus also includes a plurality of supporting devices each arranged for carrying the pipe systems above a surface. The supporting devices are connected to the pipe systems at the holding devices and include a portion for engaging the surface.</p> |
