Adjustable bracket and hub for flexible hose support

1. A flexible hose support bracket assembly comprising:

a first bracket portion comprising a first leg coupled to a first bar element;

a second bracket portion comprising a second leg coupled to a second bar element, the second bar element engaging the first bar element; and

a hub assembly coupled to the first bar element, the hub assembly comprising:

a primary support defining a first primary support end and a second primary support end, the second primary support end defining a slot;

a secondary support defining a first secondary support end and a second secondary support end, the second secondary support end defining a first opening;

a pin hingedly coupling the first primary support end to the first secondary support end; and

a locking pin extending through the first opening, the locking pin defining a lower tab portion, the lower tab portion defining a first cross-section and a second cross-section, the first cross-section oriented perpendicular to the second cross-section, the first cross-section sized equal to or smaller than a width of the slot, the second cross-section sized larger than the width of the slot; and

wherein:

the first leg defines a proximal end and a distal end;

the proximal end defines a leg opening;

the leg opening receives the first bar element,

the proximal end defines a first centerline;

the distal end defines a second centerline; and

the first centerline is horizontally offset from the second centerline.

2. The flexible hose support bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the primary support and the secondary support are selectively repositionable about and between an open position and a closed position;

the second primary support end is pivotable about the pin relative to the second secondary support end in the open position;

the second primary support end is positioned in contact with the second secondary support end in the closed position; and

the lower tab portion of the locking pin is received within a second opening defined by the second primary support end, the slot intersecting the second opening.

3. The flexible hose support bracket assembly of claim 2 , wherein:

the primary support and the secondary support are secured in the closed position when the locking pin is rotated to align the second cross-section with the slot; and

the primary support and the secondary support are free to rotate from the closed position to the open position when the locking pin is rotated to align the first cross-section with the slot.

4. The flexible hose support bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the primary support and the secondary support together define a hub opening of the hub assembly; and

the hub opening is aligned with the second centerline.

5. The flexible hose support bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein:

the first leg defines a proximal end and a distal end;

the proximal end defines a first sub-portion, a second sub-portion, and a third sub-portion;

the first sub-portion defines a bottom opening;

the third sub-portion defines a top opening;

the first bar element defines a bar opening; and

a fastener extends through the bottom opening, the top opening, and the bar opening to secure the first bar element to the first leg.

6. A method of assembly for a flexible hose support bracket assembly, the method comprising:

positioning a primary support and a secondary support of a hub assembly in an open position, a first primary support end of the primary support hingedly coupled to a first secondary support end of the secondary support by a pin, a second primary support end of the primary support being rotated apart from a second secondary support end of the secondary support in the open position;

positioning a sprinkler head within a primary cut out portion of the primary support;

repositioning the primary support and the secondary support to a closed position, the secondary support defining a secondary cut out portion, the secondary cut out portion aligned with the primary cut out portion in the closed position to form a hub opening of the hub assembly, the primary cut out portion and the secondary cut out portion together encircling the sprinkler head;

rotating a locking pin to secure the primary support and the secondary support in the closed position;

attaching the hub assembly to a first bar element; and

attaching the first bar element to a first leg, the first leg defining a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end defining a first centerline, the proximal end defining a second centerline, the first centerline being horizontally offset from the second centerline, the first centerline being aligned with the hub opening.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising inserting an end of the first bar element through an opening of the first leg, the opening defined by the proximal end of the first leg.

8. The method of claim 6 , further comprising fastening the first bar element to the first leg with a fastener, the first bar element defining a bar opening, the proximal end of the first leg defining a top opening and a bottom opening, the fastener extending through the bar opening, the top opening, and the bottom opening.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein repositioning the primary support and the secondary support to the closed position comprises:

aligning a first cross-section of a tab portion of the locking pin with a slot defined by the second primary support end, the first cross-section of the locking pin defining a width equal to or smaller than a width of the slot; and

passing the tab portion through the slot to an opening defined by the second primary support end, the opening intersecting the slot.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein rotating the locking pin to secure the primary support and the secondary support in the closed position comprises turning the locking pin to align a second cross-section of the tab portion with the slot, the second cross-section being oriented perpendicular to the first cross-section, the second cross-section defining a width greater than the width of the slot.
