  • Patent number: 4774979
    Abstract: An overhead apparatus for transferring a fluid medium between a first moveable location and a second fixed location which comprises a container for a fluid medium; a conduit assembly for selectively communicating the container with a location spaced therefrom; a conduit support assembly adjacent to the container for pivotally supporting at least a portion of the conduit at a location above ground level to provide selective fluid medium communication between the container and the location spaced therefrom, such that a fluid medium may be transferred therebetween while permitting the unimpeded passage of traffic thereunder and whereby at least a portion of the conduit assembly may be pivotally rotated between a first storage position and a second operating position.
