ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An expandable and retractable fluid conduit is disclosed for conveying fluid between a fixed point and a movable point. A plurality of rigid pipe sections are pivotally connected in end-to-end relation by swivel joints to form an articulated fluid conveying pipe. A plurality of rigid support sections are pivotally con- nected in end-to-end relation to form an articulated sup- port member. The articulated pipe member and the articu- lated support member criss-cross, and are pivotally con- nected at their intersections, to form a lazy tong con- figuration. Universal swivel joints are provided at each end of the conduit, and means is provided to render each pipe section and each support section buoyant in under- water installations. In another embodiment of the inven- tion, two articulated fluid conveying pipes criss-cross for pivotal connection at their intersections. -la-
