Abstract:
A system for supporting a hose configured to deliver preconditioned air from a source to an aircraft is disclosed. The system includes a base support and a stationary bearing assembly connected to the base support proximate a first end of the stationary bearing assembly. The stationary bearing assembly is configured to engage the hose to support the hose. The system also includes a frame assembly connected to the stationary bearing assembly proximate a second end of the stationary bearing assembly. The frame assembly has a support extending away from the frame assembly that is configured to engage the hose.

Abstract:
A new and improved aircraft power connector, for electrical connection to an aircraft electrical connector, has incorporated thereon a dual-position mechanism which can effectively alter the engagement force level defined between the electrical connector contact pins of the aircraft power connector and the aircraft electrical connector. When the mechanism is disposed at a first position, the force level is relatively low so as to easily permit connection and disconnection, whereas when the mechanism is disposed at a second position, the force level is relatively high so as to ensure the connection of the aircraft power connector to the aircraft electrical connector and thereby prevent the inadvertent disconnection of the aircraft power connector from the aircraft electrical connector.
