Patent number: 8082944Abstract: A base assembly, including wheels, is attachable to the bottom of a hose reel enclosure. This assembly enables the hose reel enclosure to pivot about a vertical axis. This pivotal movement of the hose reel enclosure permits a hose to be withdrawn from and wound back onto the hose reel in the enclosure while remaining substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the hose reel. This also enables a hose to be taken up evenly onto the hose reel and played out from the hose reel without tipping over the hose reel enclosure. In one embodiment, the base assembly is attached to the bottom of a hose reel enclosure. Two wheels are mounted at one end portion of the assembly and a stake is positioned in a member mounted between the end portions of the base assembly. The stake is driven into the ground below the hose reel enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2007Date of Patent: December 27, 2011Assignee: Suncast CorporationInventors: Lyle A. Rosine, Torrence C. Anderson, Robert Stein

Patent number: 7658358Abstract: A rotatable base apparatus for use with a hose reel enclosure. The base comprises an upper and a lower portion. A bearing is located in between the upper and lower portions and allows the portions to rotate with respect to each other. The bearing can comprise balls mounted in sockets in the lower base portion which ride in a track in the upper base portion. Clips are provided on the upper base portion to secure the hose reel enclosure thereto. This arrangement allows the user to remove the hose from the reel in any direction without the danger of the hose reel enclosure tipping over. The hose reel enclosure will rotate to the direction in which the hose is being removed. It also allows the hose reel enclosure to rotate to the direction that the hose is being wound onto the reel. This prevents the hose from being unevenly wound onto the reel, i.e. piling up on one side of the reel.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2007Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Suncast CorporationInventors: Lyle A.

Patent number: 7581357Abstract: The present invention provides a system, or kit, of injection molded panels having integrated connectors which combine to form an enclosure, commonly in the form of a utility shed. The panels are formed of injection molded plastic to interlock with one another without the need for separate I-beam connectors. The ends of the wall panels have cavities to accept both roof and floor outwardly projecting locking bosses for interlocking cooperative engagement which serve to rigidly connect the components together. The symmetry of the wall, roof, floor and door components also minimizes component shapes and simplifies enclosure construction.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2005Date of Patent: September 1, 2009Assignee: Suncast CorporationInventors: Jed C.

Patent number: 7316368Abstract: The present invention relates to portable hose 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, an enclosure for supporting the spool, wheels at one end of the base of the enclosure, and a handle assembly for tilting the frame onto the wheels to facilitate moving the device. The handle assembly is telescoping mounted and includes a handle mounted near the top of the handle assembly. The spool is rotatable by either a direct current powered motor or a folding manual crank. Power from the electrical motor is transferred to the spool via an infinitely adjustable torque transfer assembly. When the cover is in the open position, the direct current motor is operationally locked out, and when the cover is rotated into the closed position, the direct current motor is operable.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2004Date of Patent: January 8, 2008Assignee: Suncast CorporationInventors: Brian Moon, Lyle A.

Publication number: 20070094979Abstract: The present invention provides a system which includes injection molded floor panels having integrated connectors which combine to form a family of variously sized floor assemblies for utility enclosures. The floor panels are formed of injection molded plastic to create light-weight panels having integrally formed ribs and gussets for strength and integrity. The injection molding also facilitates integrally formed connectors so that the panels interlock with one another without the need for separate connectors. The outer ends of the floor panels have integrally formed apertures constructed for interlocking cooperative engagement with a plurality of wall bosses to rigidly connect the wall panels together with the floor assembly in a perpendicular relationship.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2005Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: Jed Richardson, Lyle Rosine

Publication number: 20070045209Abstract: A modular shelving system is formed with dimensions to be integrated in the structure of a pre-formed utility shed without compromising the integrity of the shed structure. The interior of the walls of the shed have a pattern of apertures formed during manufacture. The shelf units each have brackets snap fitted on each end. The brackets carry hooks spaced to cooperate with the apertures. The brackets also have bores into which support posts are fitted. The support posts are stopped in the bores and extend vertically from shelf to shelf to support the weight of the shelves. The floor of the shed also has a connector to fix the distance of the lower posts from the wall.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2005Publication date: March 1, 2007Inventors: Jed Richardson, Lyle Rosine
