Patent number: 11027942Abstract: A hose guide for a hose reel deck box is provided. More specifically, the hose guide is a one piece, or unitary body, component. The unitary body hose guide is structured to snap-fit to one or two travel bars that are part of the unitary body of the hose reel deck box housing assembly. The hose guide preferably includes two semi-enclosed passages that are structured to be slidably coupled to the travel bars.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: The Ames Companies, Inc.Inventors: Gregory J. Blaszczak, Peter Arcati

Patent number: 9821981Abstract: A basket assembly coupling assembly is provided. The basket assembly coupling assembly is structured to support a unitary housing component. That is, a unitary sidewall is thin and subject to wear and tear resulting from stress on the unitary sidewall when the hose, and more specifically the basket assembly, is wound. The basket assembly coupling assembly is structured to support the unitary sidewall proximate the coupling of the basket assembly to the unitary sidewall.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: THE AMES COMPANIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory J. Blaszczak, Peter Arcati

Patent number: 9783389Abstract: A stiffener structured to support a unitary housing component comprised of substantially flat sidewalls is provided. A unitary housing comprised of substantially flat sidewalls, e.g. a housing for a hose reel, is a housing component that is substantially free of support ribs and other contoured surfaces. The stiffener is molded separately from the unitary housing component and coupled thereto. Preferably, the stiffener is a band extending under, or about, the perimeter of the lower side of the unitary housing component. Use of the stiffener allows the unitary housing component to remain free of substantial support ribs and other contoured surfaces thereby allowing for less expensive molds and a reduced failure rate of produced elements.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2011Date of Patent: October 10, 2017Assignee: The Ames Companies, Inc.Inventors: Gregory J. Blaszczak, Peter Arcati

Patent number: 9567187Abstract: An inlet conduit assembly for a hose reel assembly includes a clip assembly that is structured to be accessible from the outer side of the frame assembly. The clip assembly is structured to be operated without the use of tools. The clip assembly, essentially, prevents the inlet conduit assembly from being moved axially once installed. In this configuration, a user may quickly and easily actuate the clip assembly to release or engage the inlet conduit assembly. Thus, a user may quickly and easily remove the inlet conduit assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2014Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: The Ames Companies, Inc.Inventor: Peter Arcati

Patent number: 9073730Abstract: A hose reel assembly wherein the crank assembly/handle is directly coupled to the basket assembly or barrel is provided. This configuration allows for rotational energy, provided by the user, to be directly transferred to the basket assembly. Thus, energy loss due to friction in the gears is reduced. The hose reel assembly further includes a transfer assembly that couples the crank assembly to the autotrack device. The transfer assembly may include a gear, a belt, a chain or similar devices structured to transfer rotational motion from one component to another.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2008Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: THE AMES COMPANIES, INC.Inventor: Peter Arcati
