Abstract: A hose reel is described comprising a support casing (1), a drum (3) rotatably fitted inside said casing (1) and connected to it by elastic rewinding means (2). The drum (3) provides a flange (4) integral with it and couplable in rotation with a locking disc (5) equipped with teeth (8) engageable with opposing teeth capable of stopping its rotation. Elastic separation means (10) are provided between the flange (4) and the locking disc (5) to keep the latter in a first position axially distanced from said flange (4), teeth and counter-teeth means (51, 52) mutually engaged to allow the flange (4) to draw the locking disc (5) into integral rotation with it, and cam and counter-cam means (6, 7) which, in the event of said flange exceeding a predetermined threshold speed cause the axial displacement of said locking disc (5) into a second position adjoining said flange (4) in which its teeth (8) engage with said opposing teeth (9) to produce the consequent stopping of the rotation of said drum (3).
