  • Hose cart with ease of use features
    Patent number: 6976649
    Abstract: A hose cart combining the features of an off-set handle, to permit any easier retrieval of paid out hose, a hose tracker, to permit hose to be neatly wound onto a reel, and a storage system comprising a protective housing, to provide storage and protection for a hose kept within, is provided. The invention includes the use of a crank to turn a reel which causes paid out hose to be drawn into the protective box onto a reel. The use of a plurality of gears permits the crank to be offset from the center of the reel, such that it is elevated to a more convenient cranking position. Further, the use of gears permits the same movement of the crank, which causes hose to be collected, causes a hose guide to move laterally, along the axis of the reel, such that hose is neatly layered onto the reel.

  • Hose reel cart with elevated crank handle
    Patent number: 6908058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to portable hose reel carts for handling and storage of flexible hoses, such as garden or air hoses. The cart is primarily constructed of plastic components having a centrally rotatable spool for winding of the flexible hose, a frame for supporting the spool, wheels at one end of the base of the frame, and a handle assembly for tilting the frame onto the wheels to facilitate moving the cart. The handle assembly which may or may not be foldable includes a crank mounted near the top of the handle assembly. The crank remotely drives the spool, for winding the hose, through a series of gears located within the handle. The device may further include a reciprocating guide assembly that operates during rotation of the spool to rewind the hose into a compact configuration.
