The Flex Arm

Flex Arm (often referred to as flexible gooseneck tubing) can support an object and hold it in position. It is adjustable and can be re-positioned by bending. It is very rigid and will stay put after being re-positioned. The ends of the Flex Arm are solid shafts that are around 0.8-inch in diameter and 1-inch long so they can be clamped onto. Also, each end has a threaded hole (1/4"-20 thread), so objects can be screwed to it. Flex Arms are available in various lengths to accommodate different purposes \.

The pictures below illustrate the use of a Flex Arm in the MtP Front Mounted Drinking System with a 30-inch long Flex Arm (MtP Part No. 6030). (The complete drinking system shown consists of a heavy-duty Flex Arm that has a Wheelchair Clamp (MtP Part No. 4960) on one end and a cup holder on the other.)
