<p>A system (20) is herein disclosed for use in the delivery of fluid from a reservoir (12) to a relatively reciprocating fluid discharge mechanism (14) via an arrangement of coiled tubes (20) which may be expanded or retracted with reciprocation of the discharge mechanism (14). The system (20) is preferably arranged with a series of concentrically coiled tubes (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d), each tube (20a, 20b, 20c, 20d) carrying a different fluid to the discharge mechanism (14). Adjacent coils (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) are wrapped in opposing rotational directions so as to create a web-like matrix which supports the coils (22a, 22b, 22c, 22d) in their extended form.</p> |
