Description

The present invention relates to a hose reel system comprising a hose reel housing for receiving a hose reel and at least one holding device, the hose reel housing and the holding device being coupled to one another in a coupling position and separated from one another in a separating position, the hose reel system comprising a coupling device for non-positive and/or positive locking Coupling the hose reel housing and the holding device to one another in the coupling position.

Hose reel systems of the type described above are used in various configurations, particularly for garden irrigation and cleaning purposes. There are known holding devices in the form of wall brackets that can be attached to a wall. The hose reel housing can be coupled to the holding device. For example, the hose reel housing can be hung on the at least one holding device.

If the hose reel housing is removed from the holding device, in known hose reel systems it usually remains where it was positioned or attached. This is often perceived as annoying by users of such hose reel systems. In particular, you can also injure yourself on the holding devices that are not coupled to a hose reel housing.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve a hose reel system of the type described above so that it can be handled particularly easily and safely.

This object is achieved according to the invention in a hose reel system of the type described above in that the holding device is designed at least in two parts and comprises a first holding device component and at least one second holding device component, that the first holding device component and the at least one second holding device component are connected to one another in at least one holding position and of the holding position can be brought into a storage position and vice versa, that at least a first coupling element of the coupling device is arranged or designed on the first holding device component and that the at least one second holding device component is designed for anchoring in the ground or for fixing to a wall.

Such a hose reel system makes it possible, in particular, to store the hose reel system in a compact and space-saving manner when it is not needed. For this purpose, the holding device can be transferred from the holding position to the storage position. In the storage position, the interacting holding device components of the holding device are aligned differently to one another than in the holding position or are separated from one another. In particular, the holding device components, which in the holding position are oriented transversely to one another with their longitudinal axes, for example, can be aligned parallel to one another. In the case of a wall mount, this has the particular advantage that a holding device component can be attached to the wall, for example the second holding device component, and that the first holding device component can protrude transversely, in particular vertically, from the wall in the holding position, so that the hose reel housing can be placed on the first holding device component placed and can be brought into engagement with the first coupling element, which is arranged or formed on the first holding device component. If the hose reel system is not required, the hose reel housing can be removed from the holding device, for example as already explained in detail above. The first fixture component may then be separated from or moved relative to the at least one second fixture component to orient them differently relative to one another. For example, the holding device components can be connected to one another in an articulated manner in order to transfer them from the holding position to the storage position and vice versa in a simple and defined manner. In particular, in the case of an articulated connection, which can be designed to be either detachable or non-detachable, corresponding locking components can be provided in order to secure the holding device in the holding position. This can be done in particular in such a way that the holding device components of the holding device cannot be moved relative to one another in the holding position. In particular, blocking or locking elements can be used here, which prevent a relative movement, for example a displacement movement and/or a rotational movement of the holding device components relative to one another.

It is advantageous if the first holding device component and the at least one second holding device component are separated from one another in the storage position or are aligned differently relative to one another than in the at least one holding position. A separation enables the first holding device component to be easily removed from the at least one second holding device component, if that Hose reel housing is removed from the holding device. For example, the first holding device component protruding from a wall, on which one could bump or otherwise injure oneself, can be removed from the at least one second holding device component. However, it is also possible to align the holding device components differently relative to one another in the storage position and in the holding position. For example, these can be connected to one another in an articulated manner, in which case the first holding device component, which projects transversely from the second holding device component in the holding position, can be folded down, for example pivoted through an angle of 90° or approximately 90°, so that longitudinal axes of the holding device components are in the Storage position run parallel to each other, in particular coincide.

It is advantageous if the first holding device component and the at least one second holding device component are connected to one another in an articulated manner. In particular, they can be mounted on one another in a pivotable and/or displaceable manner. This configuration makes it possible, in particular, to minimize the space required by the holding device in the storage position compared to the holding position. In particular, with a second holding device component firmly mounted on a wall, the first holding device component can be folded down and, for example, aligned parallel to the wall in the storage position. In this way, the risk of injury to a user can be minimized since, when the hose reel housing is removed, the first holding device component only protrudes slightly from the wall, if at all. An articulated connection, if the holding device components cannot be detached from one another, has the particular advantage that the first holding device component cannot be lost and is always exactly where it is needed, namely on the at least one second holding device component.

It is advantageous if the holding device comprises a connecting device for non-positively and/or positively connecting the first holding device component and the second holding device component in the holding position. With such a connecting device, the holding device components can be connected or aligned relative to one another in a simple and defined manner for a user so that the holding device can assume the holding position and then carry or hold a hose reel housing in this position.

The cooperating holding device components can be connected to one another in a simple manner if the connecting device comprises interacting first and second connecting elements, which are arranged or formed on the first holding device component on the one hand and on the at least one second holding device component on the other hand and are non-positively and/or positively connected to one another in a connecting position are engaged. The holding device can thus be easily transferred from a storage position to the holding position by bringing the interacting connecting elements into engagement with one another in a force-fitting and/or positive manner.

The connecting device can be implemented in a simple and cost-effective manner if the first and second connecting elements are designed in the form of connecting projections and connecting receptacles corresponding to these. The first and two connecting elements may be selectively arranged or formed on the cooperating fixture components. In particular, both connecting projections and connecting receptacles can be arranged or formed on a holding device component. Connection receptacles can in particular also be arranged or formed on connecting projections in order to realize a particularly good and secure connection between the holding device components in the holding position.

The interacting holding device components can be connected to one another quickly and easily if the connecting projections are designed in the form of hooks and if the corresponding connecting receptacles are designed in the form of elongated receiving slots. Due to the shape of the hooks and the receiving slots that interact with them, forces acting on the holding device components when using the hose reel system, in particular torques, can be absorbed particularly well. Coupling the holding device components becomes very easy in particular, since the hooks only have to be hooked into the receiving slots in order to connect the holding device components to one another.

Preferably, the connecting projections are arranged or formed on the first holding device component or on the second holding device component. If they are arranged or formed on the first holding device component, this can minimize the risk of injury to a user, since the connecting projections do not protrude, for example, from a second holding device component attached to a wall after the interacting holding device components have been separated and then you can't get caught on them and get injured.

It is advantageous if the connection receptacles have an insertion area for inserting the corresponding connecting projection and a holding area for force-fitting and/or positive engagement with the corresponding connecting projection. This configuration makes it possible, in particular, to bring the holding device components into engagement with one another by means of two relative movements in directions that are linearly independent of one another. For example, the holding device components can be moved towards one another in order to insert the connecting projection into the insertion area and then moved, in particular shifted, in a direction transverse to the described insertion direction in order to transfer them from the insertion area into the holding area. Such connection receptacles can in particular be designed like a keyhole in order to accommodate button-like connecting projections which can be inserted into the insertion area. For example, if the button-like connecting projections have a circumferential annular groove, the connecting projections can be moved into the holding area, in which case edges of the holding area that face one another can then engage in the grooves on the connecting projections in order to establish a secure connection between the interacting connecting elements.

It is advantageous if the connection receptacle is designed in the form of an opening on a plate-shaped section and if the connecting projection comprises a receiving groove into which a boundary edge of the opening engages in the connection position. In this way, the holding device components of the holding device can be reliably coupled to one another. Bringing the interacting connecting elements into engagement is quick and easy, especially without the use of tools such as screwdrivers or wrenches.

In order to achieve the most stable connection possible between the interacting holding device components in the holding position, it is advantageous if the connecting device comprises at least two first and at least two second connecting elements.

Preferably, the first holding device component comprises a holding plate on which the at least one first coupling element is held in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting and/or material-locking manner. For example, for this purpose the holding plate can be provided with projections or recesses which engage in corresponding recesses or projections on the first coupling element, for example in order to realize a positive connection between the holding plate and the at least one first coupling element. For example, the first coupling element can be formed from two components which can be brought into engagement with the holding plate in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting and/or cohesive manner and can also be coupled to one another in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting and/or cohesive manner. In this way, a particularly good and secure connection can be realized between the first holding device component and the at least one first coupling element.

It is advantageous if the holding device component comprises two sections inclined towards one another and if at least two connecting elements are arranged or formed on each of the two sections. For example, the first holding device component can be L-shaped, with two connecting sections inclined by 90° relative to one another. If at least two connecting elements are arranged or formed on each of the two sections, these can be brought into engagement with corresponding connecting elements on the at least one second holding device component. This makes it possible to selectively bring one or the other section of the first holding device component into engagement with the at least one second holding device component. For example, an L-shaped first holding device component with a short leg and a long leg can be coupled to a second holding device component in such a way that the short leg engages with the second holding device component in the holding position and the long leg in the storage position. To transfer the holding device from the holding position to the storage position and vice versa, the holding device components are disengaged and then re-engaged, but then such that the second holding device component is coupled to the other of the two sections of the first holding device component.

According to a further preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the first holding device component and the at least one second holding device component can be brought into engagement with one another in at least two different holding positions. This makes it possible, in particular, to transfer the first holding device component in the holding position from a maximum protruding orientation to an only minimally protruding orientation of a second holding device component, which is designed in the form of a wall bracket and fastened to a wall. For this purpose, for example, a short one can be used in the stopping position Legs can be coupled to the second holding device component, in the storage position a long leg of an angled, in particular L-shaped first holding device component.

In order to realize a hose reel system that is as stable as possible, it is advantageous if the holding device is made entirely or partially from a metallic material. In particular, this can be a tool steel. This can, for example, be painted or powder-coated to minimize the risk of corrosion. In particular, the first holding device component and the at least one second holding device component can be formed from the same or different metallic materials.

According to a further preferred embodiment, it can be provided, in particular also in a hose reel system of the type described above, that the hose reel system comprises a securing device for securing the hose reel housing and the holding device in the coupling position and that the securing device is designed such that the coupling device can be removed from the coupling setting without tools can be transferred to the disconnected position.

A hose reel system further developed in the proposed manner enables a user to securely couple the hose reel housing to the holding device and secure it in the coupling position, so that unintentional detachment of the hose reel housing from the holding device can be reliably avoided. In order to improve the handling of the hose reel system, the securing device is designed in such a way that the coupling device can be moved from the coupling position to the disconnected position without tools. Tool-free in this sense means in particular that no tools, for example wrenches, screwdrivers or the like, are required to move the coupling device from the coupling position to the disconnected position. With such a safety device, a user of the hose reel system can detach the hose reel housing from the holding device, in particular only with his hands, i.e. without the aid of tools, and therefore without tools. For example, this is possible if the securing device is designed in the form of a latching or snap connection device. In this way, the hose reel housing can be secured in the coupling position by locking on the holding device. To separate the hose reel housing from the holding device, a user can deactivate the safety device, for example manually. In particular, he can move a component of the safety device by hand in order to enable the hose reel housing to be separated from the holding device.

It is advantageous if the coupling device comprises at least one first coupling element and at least one second coupling element, if the at least one first coupling element is arranged or formed on the holding device or forms the holding device, if the at least one second coupling element is arranged or formed on the hose reel housing, if the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element are non-positively and/or positively engaged in the coupling position and are disengaged in the disconnected position. Designing the coupling device in the manner described enables a stable coupling of the hose reel housing and the holding device in the coupling position. For coupling, only the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element have to be brought into engagement, in particular in a non-positive and/or positive manner. To release the hose reel housing from the holding device, the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element simply have to be disengaged. The at least one first coupling element can in particular form the holding device. This means in particular that such a coupling element is designed to be brought into engagement with the at least one second coupling element on the hose reel housing. The at least one first coupling element can be attached to objects or buildings in any way. For example, it can be screwed or attached with nails, especially to wooden beams, horizontal beams or boards or the like.

The coupling device can be designed in a simple manner if the at least one first coupling element is designed in the form of a coupling projection and if the at least one second coupling element is designed in the form of a coupling receptacle corresponding to the coupling projection or vice versa. The reverse means here in particular that the at least one first coupling element is designed in the form of a coupling receptacle and that the at least one second coupling element is in the form of a coupling projection corresponding to the coupling receptacle.

The hose reel housing preferably has an underside of the housing and is that at least one second coupling element is arranged or formed on the underside of the housing. This configuration makes it possible, in particular, to place the hose reel housing on a holding device. In such a configuration, the weight of the hose reel housing can in particular stabilize a connection between the hose reel housing and the holding device.

It is advantageous if, when the hose reel system is used as intended, the at least one first coupling element points in the opposite or substantially opposite direction to the direction of gravity and if the at least one second coupling element points in the direction of gravity. This configuration makes it possible, in particular, to design the holding device in such a way that the first coupling element points against the direction of gravity, which makes it easier to place the hose reel housing with the at least one second coupling element onto the at least one first coupling element. For example, the interacting coupling elements can be designed in such a way that they center each other when they come into contact, thereby simplifying the coupling of the hose reel housing to the holding device for a user.

According to a further preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the coupling device defines a preferred direction and that the preferred direction is aligned parallel or substantially parallel to the direction of gravity when the hose reel system is used as intended. As already explained above, in particular the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element can be aligned in such a way that the hose reel housing with the at least one second coupling element can be easily placed on the holding device by a user using the weight of the hose reel housing and with this in intervention can be brought.

It is advantageous if the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element are designed to be rotationally symmetrical or substantially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the preferred direction. This simplifies production of the hose reel system. Furthermore, it also improves its handling in particular. A rotationally symmetrical design of the interacting coupling elements enables, in particular, the hose reel housing to be brought into engagement with the holding device in any rotational position relative to one another. The user therefore does not have to pay attention to how the hose reel housing and the holding device are aligned relative to one another in relation to the preferred direction.

It is advantageous if the hose reel housing and the holding device are arranged so that they can rotate relative to one another in the coupling position about a common axis of rotation. This configuration particularly improves handling of the hose reel system. In particular, for example, a hose wound on a hose drum accommodated in the hose drum housing can be pulled out of the hose drum housing in any direction radially relative to the preferred direction. If a user moves around the preferred direction, i.e. around the axis of rotation, in particular with a hose pulled out in this way, the hose drum housing can rotate relative to the holding device. In this way, it can be prevented in particular that a hose can kink on the hose reel housing. In addition, torques acting on the hose reel system can also be minimized. Rotatability can in particular be provided discretely or continuously. For discrete rotation, for example, latches can be provided on the interacting coupling elements, which allow the hose reel housing and the holding device to be aligned exclusively in defined rotational positions.

The axis of rotation is advantageously defined by the preferred direction. In particular, the hose reel housing can be rotated relative to the holding device about an axis of rotation that runs parallel to the direction of gravity.

It is advantageous if the securing device comprises at least one first securing element and at least one second securing element, if the at least one first securing element and the at least one second securing element engage in a force-fitting and/or positive manner in a securing position and if the at least one first securing element and the at least one second securing element is disengaged in an unlocking position. A structure of the safety device designed as described can be implemented in a simple manner. In particular, the cooperating securing elements can be designed in the form of cooperating latching or snap connection elements. In particular, the securing device can automatically assume the securing position when the interacting coupling elements of the coupling device are brought into engagement. In this case, in order to remove the hose reel housing from the holding device, the safety device must be transferred from the safety position to the locking position position can be deliberately initiated by a user. Separating the cooperating coupling elements is only possible in particular when the safety device assumes the unlocking position, i.e. when the cooperating safety elements of the safety device are disengaged.

It is advantageous if the at least one first securing element is arranged or formed on at least one first coupling element and if the at least one second securing element is arranged or formed on at least one second coupling element. Such a configuration enables, in particular, a particularly compact design of the hose reel system. In this way, securing the hose reel housing to the holding device is possible precisely in the area where the interacting coupling elements of the coupling device engage with one another. The cooperating securing elements of the securing device can, in particular, prevent movement of the coupling elements relative to one another in a direction parallel to the preferred direction.

The safety device can be implemented in a simple manner if the at least one first safety element is designed in the form of a safety receptacle and if the at least one second safety element is designed in the form of a safety projection corresponding to the safety receptacle or vice versa. In this sense, vice versa means that the at least one first safety element can also be designed in the form of a safety projection and the at least one second safety element in the form of a safety receptacle corresponding to the safety projection.

The safety device can be designed in a simple manner if the safety receptacle is designed in the form of a groove.

Advantageously, the groove is arranged or designed on the first coupling element in the form of an annular groove which runs circumferentially in relation to the preferred direction. This configuration makes it possible, in particular, to realize the first coupling element completely without moving parts. In particular, the stability of a connection between the hose reel housing and the holding device can be improved. The groove can be opened in particular in the radial direction relative to the preferred direction. This can be realized in particular by two circumferential ring projections or ring flanges projecting in the radial direction.

It is advantageous if the groove has a groove width in a direction parallel to the preferred direction and if a thickness of the securing projection is adapted to the groove width. This configuration makes it possible, in particular, to bring the securing projection into positive engagement with the groove-shaped securing receptacle. By adapting the thickness of the securing projection to the groove width of the groove, play between the interacting securing elements of the securing device can be minimized. In this way, the stability of the hose reel system can be further improved. Particularly in the securing position, a relative movement between the hose reel housing and the holding device can be minimized. A possible movement of the same relative to one another can be specified in particular by a play of the securing elements of the securing device that are in engagement with one another.

It is advantageous if the securing projection is arranged or designed to be movable on at least one second coupling element and can be moved to transfer the securing device from the securing position to the unlocking position and vice versa. The arrangement of the movable securing projection on at least one second coupling element particularly improves handling of the hose reel system. A user can thus remove the hose drum from the holding device if, for example, he moves the securing projection on at least one second coupling element in such a way that it releases the securing receptacle, so that the securing device assumes the unlocking position. Now he can remove the hose reel housing directly from the holding device. To do this, he does not have to reach around with either of his hands that are holding the hose reel housing, i.e. grasp or attack the hose reel housing at a different point. A user can unlock the safety device and lift off the hose reel housing in one step.

In order in particular to enable an automatic transfer of the securing device from the unlocking position to the securing position when the hose reel housing is brought into engagement with the holding device, i.e. when the interacting coupling elements of the coupling device are brought into engagement, it is advantageous if the coupling projection has a coupling projection top side and a transverse , in particular a circumferential wall surface that runs perpendicular to the top of the coupling projection and points away from the axis of rotation and if in the transition area between the wall surface and the coupling A beveled circumferential sliding surface is formed on the top of the projection. On this sliding surface, for example, a securing projection of the securing device, which is movably arranged on the second coupling element, can slide on and, when the interacting coupling elements are brought into engagement, can be transferred, for example, from a securing position into the unlocking position, and then automatically engage with the securing receptacle when the interacting ones Coupling elements assume the coupling position.

It is advantageous if the sliding surface is designed to cooperate with the securing projection in such a way that when the coupling projection and the coupling receptacle are brought into engagement, the securing projection slides on the sliding surface and forcibly moves the securing projection from the securing position into the unlocking position. Such a movement can take place in particular against the effect of a restoring device, which holds the securing projection in the securing position or automatically applies a force starting from the unlocking position in order to transfer the securing projection from the unlocking position into the securing position.

The safety device can be designed in a simple manner in the form of a locking or snap connection device if it comprises a reset device for automatically transferring the safety device from the release position to the safety position. If, for example, the hose reel housing and the holding device are coupled to one another by engaging the interacting coupling elements, as described in certain embodiments the safety projection of the safety device can be automatically deflected from the safety position against the action of the reset device. The reset device can then transfer the safety projection, and thus the safety device as a whole, from the release position to the safety position again if the interacting safety elements of the safety device can be brought into engagement with one another again. This can be the case, for example, if the coupling elements of the coupling device are in engagement with one another and are aligned relative to one another in such a way that the safety projection can engage in the safety receptacle.

The securing device can be designed in a simple manner if the restoring device comprises at least one restoring element and if the at least one first securing element is movable against the action of the at least one restoring element in order to transfer the securing device from the securing position to the unlocking position. The reset device and in particular the at least one reset element make it possible, for example, to automatically secure the hose reel housing on the holding device in the coupling position, without a user having to intervene manually and bring any elements into engagement with one another. The at least one restoring element can thus enable and in particular facilitate the construction of a latching or snap connection device.

The restoring device can be implemented simply and cost-effectively if the at least one restoring element is designed in the form of a compression or tension spring.

It is advantageous if the at least one first securing element is movable in a securing direction, in particular displaceable, and if the securing direction runs transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the preferred direction or to the axis of rotation. In particular, the at least one first securing element can be arranged or designed to be displaceable. The securing direction can in particular run perpendicularly to the preferred direction or to the axis of rotation. The described embodiments can in particular be used to form locking or snap-on connection devices that serve as a securing device. Specifying the securing direction in the manner described makes it possible in particular to prevent the interacting coupling elements from becoming loose in the preferred direction or parallel to the axis of rotation when the interacting securing elements of the securing device are engaged, i.e. when the securing device assumes the securing position. In other words, the securing direction and the preferred direction or the axis of rotation are linearly independent of one another in the mathematical sense.

The handling of the hose reel system can be improved in a simple manner if the at least one first securing element is designed in the form of a safety slide and if a handle recess is formed on the safety slide. A user can thus easily move the first securing element with one of his two hands, in particular in order to transfer the securing device from the securing position to the unlocking position, whereby the hose reel housing and the holding device can be detached from one another. To do this, he can, for example, engage the handle recess with the fingers of one hand and move the safety slide so that it engages the safety receptacle with which it is in the safety position works, releases. In such an unlocking position, the cooperating coupling elements of the coupling device can be separated from one another by simply disengaging them.

For improved handling of the hose reel system, it is advantageous if the handle recess is opened pointing towards the first coupling element. In particular, a user can bend over the hose reel housing, which is coupled to the holding device, and then engage in the handle recess that points away from the hose reel housing and is open in the direction of the first coupling element. Preferably, the safety slide can be moved away from the axis of rotation in order to disengage it from the second safety element of the safety device. In this way, a user can grasp the hose reel housing in one go and move the safety slide, in particular against the effect of a reset device, and then lift the unlocked hose reel housing from the holding device.

It is advantageous if an end edge of the at least one first securing element pointing in the direction of the at least one second securing element is concavely curved pointing away from the at least one first securing element. Such a configuration makes it possible, in particular, to design the end edge in such a way that, in the securing position, it lies flat against a convexly curved side surface of the second securing element which runs concentrically to the preferred direction or to the axis of rotation. This can in particular be a groove bottom of the groove-shaped securing receptacle. In this way, a particularly stable connection and reliable securing of the hose reel housing on the holding device in the coupling position can be achieved.

The hose reel system can be designed to be particularly easy to handle and cost-effective if the safety device only comprises a first safety element. Only a first security element in this sense means that only a single first security element is provided. A user then only has to disengage this first securing element and the second securing element that interacts with it in order to be able to remove the hose reel housing from the holding device.

In order to improve the stability of the hose reel system and in particular to hold the hose reel housing coupled to the holding device particularly securely in the coupling position, it is advantageous if the securing device comprises two first securing elements and if the two first securing elements are arranged or designed diametrically opposite one another with respect to the preferred direction are. In particular, the two first securing elements can be held in a prestressed manner in a mutually close position by means of the reset device. Closer to each other does not mean that the first two securing elements touch each other. Rather, this should be understood to mean that in the securing position, a distance between the two first securing elements from one another is minimal.

According to a further preferred embodiment, it can be provided, in particular also in a hose reel system of the type described above, that a hose outlet opening is formed on the hose reel housing, that the hose reel housing, when used as intended, defines a hose reel housing height parallel to the direction of gravity, that the hose reel housing height is defined as a housing distance between a top side of the housing and a bottom side of the hose reel housing and that a first distance of the hose outlet opening from the bottom of the housing is smaller than a second distance of the hose outlet opening from the top of the housing.

Designing a hose reel housing with a hose outlet opening in the manner described makes it possible, in particular, to unwind a hose from a hose reel accommodated in the hose reel housing and thereby exert the lowest possible tilting moments on the hose reel housing. The hose outlet opening is positioned in the manner described closer to the underside of the hose reel housing than to the top. If the hose reel housing is coupled with its underside to a holding device in the coupling position, significantly lower tilting moments are exerted on the hose reel housing when the hose is pulled out of the hose reel housing than is the case with conventional hose reel systems, for example the one in WO 2020/169232 A1 hose reel system described. The proposed positioning of the hose outlet opening on the hose reel housing can therefore in particular also improve the stability of a connection of the hose reel housing with a holding device in a coupling position, in particular when the hose reel housing is placed on the holding device, i.e. when it is positioned above the holding device in the direction of gravity.

Preferably, the first distance has a value which corresponds to at most approximately 50% of the hose reel housing height. Therefore, in this embodiment, the hose outlet opening is positioned in a lower half of the hose reel housing. The closer the hose outlet opening is positioned to the underside of the housing, the lower the pull-out moments acting on the hose reel housing when pulling a hose out of the hose reel housing.

The distance preferably has a value which corresponds to at most approximately 30% of the hose reel housing height. The smaller the value of the first distance, the lower the forces acting on a holding device to which the hose reel housing is coupled when a hose is pulled out of the hose reel housing.

Preferably, the first distance has a value which corresponds to at most approximately 20% of the hose reel housing height. Through this configuration, forces acting on the hose reel housing and a coupling device, which serves to couple the hose reel housing and the holding device, can be further reduced.

It is advantageous if the hose outlet opening defines a hose outlet plane and if the underside of the housing runs parallel to the hose outlet plane. The hose outlet opening can in particular define a hose outlet plane if it is slot-shaped and a preferred direction of the slot runs parallel to the underside of the housing. In other words, an extension of the hose outlet opening in a direction transverse to the direction of gravity when the hose reel system is used as intended is greater than a width of the hose outlet opening parallel or substantially parallel to the direction of gravity or to the preferred direction of the hose reel system.

According to a further preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the hose reel system comprises a hose reel and that the hose reel is arranged or designed to be rotatable about a hose reel axis of rotation in the hose reel housing. The hose reel can in particular be used to wind up a hose, in particular a water hose, or a cable, and then store it wound up and protected in the hose reel housing. If necessary, a hose or cable can be pulled out of the hose reel housing through the hose outlet opening to a length desired or required by the user.

It is advantageous if the hose reel axis of rotation runs transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the direction of gravity when the hose reel system is used as intended. This configuration makes it possible, in particular, to minimize the space required for the hose reel housing during use and also when it is stored separately from a holding device.

The hose drum transverse axis advantageously runs transversely, in particular perpendicular to the axis of rotation. This configuration has the particular advantage that by pulling a hose or a cable out of the hose reel housing through the hose outlet opening, torques do not necessarily have to be exerted on the hose reel housing, which lead to a rotation of the same about the axis of rotation relative to the holding device. A rotation of the hose reel housing relative to the holding device and the unwinding or pulling out of a hose from the hose reel housing can thus be realized independently of one another in a simple and safe manner.

It is advantageous if the hose outlet opening on the hose reel housing is arranged or formed in an area between the hose reel axis of rotation and the second coupling element. The positioning of the hose outlet opening in the area between the hose reel axis of rotation and the second coupling element of the coupling device helps in particular to improve the stability of the hose reel system during use. The closer the hose outlet opening is arranged or designed to the second coupling element, the lower the tilting forces acting on the hose reel housing and thus also on the coupling device when a hose is pulled out of the hose reel housing through the hose outlet opening.

The handling of the hose reel system can be improved in particular in that the hose reel includes a retraction mechanism for automatically winding up the hose. The retraction mechanism can assist a user in winding the hose. The hose pulled out of the hose reel housing through the hose outlet opening can be automatically wound up. The retraction mechanism can in particular have a lock to prevent the hose from being unintentionally wound up.

It is advantageous if the hose outlet opening is arranged or designed closer to the second coupling element in relation to the preferred direction than to the hose drum rotation axis. The closer the hose outlet opening is arranged or designed to the second coupling element, the lower are the rotational or tilting moments that act on the hose reel housing and thus also on the coupling device, which couples the hose reel housing and the holding device in the coupling position, when the hose is pulled out of the hose reel housing .

According to a further preferred embodiment, it can be provided that the holding device is designed in the form of a wall mount or in the form of a ground spike mount. The holding device can in particular also only include the at least one first coupling element. As already mentioned, this can then be positioned and attached in the desired manner exactly where the hose reel housing is needed during use. A wall bracket can be used, for example, to attach the hose reel housing to a wall in a defined manner. The ground spike holder can be used in particular if the hose reel housing is needed in different places, especially in a garden. The ground spike holder can be easily positioned and anchored in the ground of a garden exactly where the hose reel housing is to be positioned and a hose or cable is required.

It is advantageous if the ground spike holder comprises a ground spike with a first end for anchoring in the ground and a second end on which the at least one first coupling element is arranged or formed. Such a ground spike holder can in particular be designed in two parts. The ground spike and the at least one first coupling element can be made from different materials. The ground spike and the at least one first coupling element can in particular be connected to one another in a force-fitting and/or positive and/or material-locking manner. Optionally, an integrally designed ground spike holder, in particular a monolithically designed ground spike holder, is also favorable for improving the stability of the hose reel system.

It is advantageous if the ground spike defines a longitudinal axis of the ground spike and if the preferred direction defines the longitudinal axis of the ground spike. Such a configuration has the particular advantage that the axis of rotation can also be defined by the longitudinal axis of the ground spike. In such a configuration, the hose reel housing can therefore be rotated about the ground spike's longitudinal axis relative to the ground spike holder. This enables optimal handling of the hose reel system. The hose can thus be pulled out of the hose reel housing in any direction radially in relation to the preferred direction and thus also in relation to the ground spike's longitudinal axis.

The hose reel system can be made particularly stable if the wall bracket and/or the ground spike bracket are made in one piece, in particular monolithic.

The hose reel system can be designed cost-effectively if the at least one first coupling element and the at least one second coupling element are made of a plastic. In particular, the coupling elements can be produced by injection molding.

For handling the hose reel system, it is advantageous if the hose reel housing is made of a plastic. This allows the weight of the hose reel system to be reduced. This is favorable both for a user and for transporting the hose reel system.

In order to further improve the stability of the hose reel system, it is advantageous if the at least one second coupling element is integrally formed, in particular monolithically, onto the hose reel housing. This also simplifies assembly of the hose reel system, since the at least one second coupling element does not have to be connected to the hose reel housing in one or more additional assembly steps.

It is advantageous if the at least one first coupling element is designed in two parts and comprises a first and a second coupling element component and if the first and second coupling element components are connected to one another in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting and/or material-locking manner. For example, they can be screwed, locked or glued together. Welding is also possible. As already mentioned, such a two-part design of the at least one first coupling element has the advantage that it additionally enables an improved non-positive and/or positive connection with the first holding device component.

In order to reduce the design effort and manufacturing effort of the hose reel system, it is advantageous if the first coupling element component and the second coupling lung element component are designed identically.

According to a further preferred embodiment, the hose reel system comprises a hose. In particular, this can be a water hose. It is also conceivable to use it with a compressed air hose. The hose reel system can also be used for electrical cables of any kind.

The hose can preferably be wound onto the hose drum. This makes it possible, in particular, to pull the hose out of the hose reel housing when necessary and then, when it is no longer needed, to wind it up again on the hose reel and in this way store it compactly in the hose reel housing.

In 1 A first exemplary embodiment of a hose reel system 10 is shown as an example. It includes a hose reel housing 12 for holding a hose reel. The hose reel is omitted from the figures for the sake of clarity. Furthermore, the hose reel system 10 includes one or more holding devices 14.

In the example of the 1 the holding device 14 is designed in the form of a ground spike holder 16. This comprises a ground spike 18 with a first end 20 for anchoring in the ground 22. For optimal anchoring in the ground 22, a ground thread 26 is formed at the first end 20 starting from a tip 24, so that the ground spike 18 can be screwed into the ground 22.

Like in the 1 and 2 Shown schematically, the hose reel housing 12 and the holding device 14 are coupled to one another in a coupling position. In an in 6 In the separating position shown as an example, the hose reel housing 12 and the holding device 14 are separated from one another.

For the non-positive and/or positive coupling of the hose reel housing 12 and the holding device 14 to one another in the coupling position, the hose reel system 10 includes a coupling device 28.

The coupling device 28 includes in the exemplary embodiments 1 to 8 a first coupling element 30 and a second coupling element 32. The first coupling element 30 is arranged or formed on the holding device 14.

In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the first coupling element 30 forms the holding device 14.

The second coupling element 32 is arranged or formed on the hose reel housing 12. The first coupling element 30 and the second coupling element 32 are engaged in a force-fitting and/or positive manner in the coupling position and are disengaged in the disconnected position.

The first coupling element 30 is in the embodiment of the 1 to 8 in the form of a coupling projection 34. The second coupling element 32 is designed in the form of a coupling receptacle 36 corresponding to the coupling projection 34. In the embodiment of the 1 to 8 the coupling projection 34 is essentially cylindrical. The coupling receptacle 36 is essentially hollow cylindrical rically trained, as is particularly the case in 6 is clearly visible.

The hose reel housing 12 has a housing underside 38 on which the second coupling element 32 is arranged or formed.

The hose reel system 10 is designed in such a way that, when used as intended, it is aligned in such a way that the first coupling element 30 points opposite or essentially against the direction of gravity symbolized by the arrow 40. Accordingly, the second coupling element 32 points in the direction of gravity.

The coupling device 28 defines a preferred direction 42, which is aligned parallel or substantially parallel to the direction of gravity when the hose reel system 10 is used as intended.

The hose reel housing 12 and the holding device 14 are arranged or designed to be rotatable relative to one another in the coupling position about a common axis of rotation 44, namely continuously through 360 °. In order to make this possible in a simple manner, the first coupling element 30 and the second coupling element 32 are designed to be rotationally symmetrical or essentially rotationally symmetrical with respect to the preferred direction 42. In this way, the axis of rotation 44 is then also defined by the preferred direction 42.

In order to be able to make the hose reel system 10 sufficiently stable during use, the hose reel system 10 is designed in such a way that a longitudinal axis 46 of the ground spike 18 defines the preferred direction 42.

The coupling receptacle 36 on the underside 38 of the hose reel housing 12 is formed by a flat cylindrical wall 48 which extends concentrically to the preferred direction 42. The wall 48 has a height 50 parallel to the preferred direction 42.

The coupling projection 34 has a height 52 which extends parallel to the preferred direction 42. Height 52 is about 1.5 times larger than height 50.

The cylindrical coupling projection 34 has a top 54 and a bottom 56. A cylindrical surface 58, which is concentric to the preferred direction 42 and points away from it in the radial direction, interacts with the wall 48 when the coupling projection 34 and the coupling receptacle 36 are brought into engagement and is guided on it.

An annular projection 60 protrudes from the top 54 and rests on a bottom 62 of the coupling receptacle 36 in the coupling position, as shown for example in 7 is shown.

In the transition area between the top 54 and the cylindrical surface 58, a bevel 64 is formed, so that a conical sliding surface 66 that tapers against the direction of gravity is formed.

A stabilizing projection 68 also protrudes from the underside 56 concentrically to the preferred direction 42. The stabilizing projection 68, like the cylindrical coupling projection 34, encloses a proximal end section 70 of the ground spike 18.

In this embodiment, the first coupling element 30 is formed in two parts and comprises a first coupling element component 72 and a second coupling element component 74. The two coupling element components 72, 74 are connected to one another in a force-fitting and/or form-fitting and/or material-fitting manner. For this purpose, two screw openings 76 and 78 arranged offset in the axial direction relative to the preferred direction 42 are formed on each of the two coupling element components 72, 74, and screw blind holes 80 and 82 assigned to the screw openings 76 and 78, respectively, in the same plane perpendicular to the preferred direction 42. In a connected position of the two coupling element components 72 and 74, the screw openings 76 and 78 are penetrated by a screw shaft which is screwed with its external thread to a corresponding screw blind hole 80 or 82 on the other coupling element component 72, 74.

The two coupling element components 72 and 74 are identical and each enclose the proximal end section 70 of the ground spike 18 in a half-shell shape.

The interconnected coupling element components 72 and 74 are secured at the end section against rotation about the preferred direction 42 and also against movement relative to the ground spike 18 parallel to the preferred direction 42.

In this embodiment, the second coupling element 32 is integrally formed, namely monolithically, onto the hose reel housing 12.

The hose reel housing 12 is made of a plastic, specifically by injection molding. It comprises two hose reel housing components 84 and 86 that are mirror-symmetrical to one another. A third coupling element component 88 and a fourth coupling element component 90 are molded onto each of the two hose reel housing components 84 and 86. The coupling element components 88 and 90 together form the second coupling element 32.

The hose reel system 10 further includes a securing device 92 for securing the hose reel housing 12 and the holding device 14 in the coupling position. The safety device 92 is designed in such a way that the coupling device 28 can be moved from the coupling position to the disconnected position without tools. Tool-free here means in particular that no additional tools are required so that a user can detach the hose reel housing 12 from the holding device 14 by disengaging the two coupling elements 30 and 32 that are engaged in the coupling position.

In the exemplary embodiment of 1 to 8 the securing device 92 includes a first securing element 94 and a second securing element 96. The securing elements 94 and 96 engage in a force-fitting and/or positive manner in a securing position. The security position is shown schematically in the 1 to 4 as well as 7 and 8 shown. In an unlocking position, not shown in the figures, the two securing elements 94 and 96 are disengaged.

The first securing element 94 is arranged or formed on the first coupling element 30. The second securing element 96 is arranged on the second coupling element 32.

The first security element 94 is in the form of a security receptacle 98. The second securing element 96 is in the form of a securing projection 100 corresponding to the securing receptacle 98.

The securing receptacle 98 is in the form of a groove 102. The groove 102 in turn is arranged or designed in the form of an annular groove 104 that runs around the preferred direction 42 on the first coupling element 30.

Like for example in 7 clearly visible, the groove 102 has a groove width 106 in a direction parallel to the preferred direction 42. A thickness 108 of the securing projection 100 parallel to the preferred direction 42 is adapted to the groove width 106. The thickness 108 is therefore slightly smaller than the groove width 106, so that the securing projection 100 can be inserted into the securing receptacle 98 with little play.

The securing projection 100 forms a projecting section 110 of a securing slide 112. This is essentially plate-shaped and comprises a rib-shaped projection 114, which is aligned transversely to a securing direction 116 running perpendicular to the preferred direction. A front edge 118 pointing in the direction of the preferred direction 42 is concavely curved pointing away from the safety slide 112 and has a radius of curvature which corresponds to a radius of the annular groove 104.

At an end of the plate-shaped safety slide 112 pointing away from the front edge 118, a handling projection 120 is formed projecting from it on an underside.

A slide element housing 122 is formed on the wall 48 of the second coupling element 32. This is penetrated by a slot-shaped opening 124. In the securing position, the section 110 protrudes from the opening 124 over the wall 48 and engages in the annular groove 104. The projection 114 is positioned within the slide element housing 122. A holding projection 126 projects from the projection 114 in the radial direction away from the preferred direction 42. A restoring element 128 of a restoring device 130 is placed on this and surrounding it. The reset device 130 is included in the safety device 92 and is used to automatically transfer the safety device 92 from the unlocking position to the safety position.

Arranged opposite the holding projection 126 is a receiving sleeve 132 which projects in the direction of the preferred direction 42. An end 134 of the restoring element 128 pointing away from the preferred direction 42 is received in this.

The safety slide 112 protrudes with the handling projection 120 from the opening 124 of the slide element housing 122 from a boundary wall 136 of the slide element housing 122 pointing away from the preferred direction 42.

As in 7 clearly visible, the first securing element 94 can be moved against the action of the restoring element 128 in order to transfer the securing device 92 from the securing position to the unlocking position.

The restoring element 128 is in the form of a compression spring 138. With an alternative In the exemplary embodiment, the restoring element 128 is designed in the form of a tension spring.

The compression spring 138 is in the exemplary embodiment 1 to 8 designed so that it surrounds the holding projection 126 as described and, on the other hand, is supported in the receiving sleeve 132. In a basic position like that in 7 is shown, the compression spring 138 presses the projection 114 against the wall 48, so that the securing projection 100 projects as far as possible out of the slide element housing 122 in the direction of the preferred direction 42.

In order to disengage the safety projection 100 and the safety receptacle 98, a user can reach behind the handling projection 120. For this purpose, a grip recess 140 is formed on the handling projection 120, which is delimited by the boundary wall 136 in the direction of the preferred direction 42. A user can thus easily move the safety slide 112 radially outwards in a direction away from the preferred direction 42, whereby the compression spring 138 is compressed. If a user lets go of the handling projection 120, i.e. releases the grip recess 140, the compression spring 138 automatically moves the safety slide 112 again in the direction of the preferred direction 42 until the projection 114 strikes the wall 48. The safety device 92 then assumes the safety position.

If, on the other hand, the projection 114 abuts the receiving sleeve 132, the safety slide 112 is deflected to the maximum extent in the securing direction 116 from the preferred direction 42, so that the securing projection 100 releases the securing receptacle 98.

As described, the first securing element 94 is movable, namely displaceable, arranged on the second coupling element 32. The securing direction 116 runs transversely, namely perpendicularly, to the preferred direction 42 or to the axis of rotation 44.

As in 7 clearly visible, the handle recess 140 is open pointing towards the first coupling element 30.

As explained, the securing projection 100 is arranged or designed to be movable on the second coupling element 32 and can be moved to transfer the securing device 92 from the securing position to the unlocking position and vice versa.

The special design of the safety device 92 makes it possible to place the hose reel housing 12 with the second coupling element 32 on the first coupling element 30 on the holding device 14.

The front edge 118 of the securing projection 100 is beveled away from the hose reel housing 12 and forms a sliding surface 142. When the hose reel housing 12 is placed on the first coupling element 30, this sliding surface 142 comes into contact with the sliding surface 66, which is formed by the bevel 64. The movement of the hose reel housing 12 towards the first coupling element 30 then leads to a forced deflection of the safety slide 112 from the securing position into the unlocking position.

The safety slide 112 can then be automatically moved back into the safety position by the restoring element 128 when the first coupling element 30 is inserted so far into the coupling receptacle 36 that the annular projection 60 abuts the bottom 62. In this position of the coupling elements 30 and 32 relative to one another, the securing elements 94 and 96 are aligned such that the securing projection 100 can engage in the securing receptacle 98. Through the restoring element 128, the securing projection 100 can automatically snap into the securing receptacle 98. The safety device 92 is therefore designed in the form of a latching/snap connection device.

As in 7 clearly visible, the hose reel system 10 not only assumes the coupling position, but also the securing position. Simply pulling the hose reel housing 12 away from the first coupling element 30 parallel to the preferred direction 42 does not make it possible to separate the hose reel housing 12 from the holding device 14 from one another. For this purpose, as described, the safety slide 112 must be pulled away from the preferred direction 42 against the action of the restoring element 128, until the section 110 releases the annular groove 104. Only then can the hose reel housing 12 be lifted from the holding device 14.

As described, the sliding surface 66 and the securing projection 100 are designed to cooperate in such a way that when the coupling projection 34 and the coupling receptacle 36 are brought into engagement, the securing projection 100 is guided onto the sliding surface 66 and the securing projection 100 is forcibly moved from the securing position to the unlocking position. As explained, this takes place against the effect of the reset device 130.

In the exemplary embodiment of 1 to 8 The security device 92 comprises only a single first security element 94.

In the 9 to 11 A further exemplary embodiment of a hose reel system 10 is shown schematically. It differs from the hose reel system 10 according to the exemplary embodiment 1 to 8 only in that the security device 92 comprises two second security elements 96.

Like in the 9 to 11 clearly visible, the described arrangement of the safety slide 112, which is accommodated in the slide element housing 122, is provided twice in this exemplary embodiment. The two slide element housings 122 are arranged or formed mirror-symmetrically on the second coupling element 32 with respect to a mirror plane 144 containing the preferred direction 42.

The two securing projections 100 point as in the 9 to 11 shown as an example towards each other. In the securing position, in which they engage in the securing receptacle 98, they assume a position that is as close as possible.

In order to release the hose reel housing 12 from the holding device 14 in this exemplary embodiment, both safety slides 112 must be moved away from the preferred direction 42 in the radial direction, in each case against the action of the restoring element 128 of the restoring device 130. The two safety projections 100 are in the unlocking position maximum distance from each other.

When the hose reel housing 12 is placed on the first coupling element 30, which is arranged on the holding device 14, the two safety slides 112 are automatically moved from the safety position, as explained in detail above, as in 9 shown, transferred to the unlocking position when the sliding surfaces 142 slide on the sliding surfaces 66. Locking with the securing receptacle 98 in the form of the annular groove 104 occurs automatically when the coupling projection 34 is inserted into the coupling receptacle 36 to the maximum extent, that is to say so far that the annular projection 60 hits the ground 62. In this coupling position, as in the 10 and 11 shown as an example, the two compression springs 138 press the two safety slides 112 in the direction of the preferred direction 42 and hold the safety projections 100 in engagement with the safety receptacle 98.

In order to remove the hose reel housing 12, in this case a user must grasp the hose reel housing 12 with two hands and engage the fingers of his two hands in the handle recesses 140 of the two safety slides 112. The user can thus move the safety slides 112 away from each other against the action of the restoring elements 128. If the two safety projections 100 release the safety receptacle 98, the hose reel housing 12 can be lifted off the first coupling element 30.

Therefore, the security device 92 in the exemplary embodiment includes the 9 to 11 two first securing elements 94, which are arranged or designed diametrically opposite one another with respect to the preferred direction 42.

The hose reel housing 12 is in the exemplary embodiments 1 to 11 a hose outlet opening 146 is formed. Through this, a hose 148 encompassed by the hose reel system 10, which can be wound on the hose reel, not shown in the figures, which is accommodated in the hose reel housing 12, can be pulled out and also rewound with an automatic retraction device.

The hose reel housing 12 includes not only the housing bottom 38, but also a housing top 150. The hose reel housing 12 defines a hose reel housing height 152 when used as intended. As already explained, when used as intended means that the hose reel housing height 152 extends parallel to the direction of gravity. It is defined as a housing distance between the housing top 150 and the housing bottom 38.

In the exemplary embodiments of 1 to 11 is a first distance 154 of the hose outlet opening 146 from the bottom of the housing 38 smaller than a second distance 156 of the hose outlet opening 146 from the top of the housing 150. In the exemplary embodiments shown in the figures, the first distance 154 is also selected so that it has a value which is not is greater than 50% of the hose reel housing height 152. In the exemplary embodiments shown, the first distance 154 even has a value which corresponds to a maximum of approximately 30% of the hose reel housing height 152. In this specific case, the value of the first distance 154 is at most approximately 20% of the hose reel housing height 152.

The hose outlet opening 146 is in the 1 to 11 illustrated exemplary embodiments are elongated and rectangular has two opening edges 158 and 160 that run parallel to one another. The opening edges 158 and 160 run transversely, namely perpendicularly, to the preferred direction 42.

The hose outlet opening 146 defines a hose outlet plane 162. It runs parallel to the underside of the housing 38. The hose outlet plane 162 also runs parallel between the opening edges 158 and 160. In other words, it is equidistant from the two opening edges 158 and 160. The hose outlet plane 162 thus runs closer to the underside of the housing 38 than to the top of the housing 150.

The hose outlet opening 146 further has a width 164 which corresponds to a distance between the opening edges 158 and 160. As in 1 As shown schematically, the hose reel housing height 152 is the sum of the first distance 154, the second distance 156 and the width 164.

As already explained, the hose reel system 10 includes a hose reel, not shown in the figures. This is arranged or designed to be rotatable about a hose reel axis of rotation 166 in the hose reel housing 12. When the hose reel system 10 is used as intended, the hose reel axis of rotation 166 runs transversely, in particular perpendicularly, to the direction of gravity. The hose drum rotation axis 166 thus runs transversely, in particular perpendicular, to the rotation axis 44.

With the one in the 1 to 11 In the illustrated embodiments, the hose outlet opening 146 is arranged or formed on the respective hose reel housing 12 in an area between the hose reel axis of rotation 166 and the second coupling element 32.

In addition, the hose outlet opening 146 is arranged or formed closer to the second coupling element 32 with respect to the preferred direction 42 than to the hose drum rotation axis 166.

The described arrangement or positioning of the hose outlet opening 146 on the hose reel housing 12 has the advantage, as already explained in detail above, that only relatively small tilting moments act on the coupling device 28, and therefore on the coupling elements 30 and 32 that are in engagement with one another, when the hose 148 is of the hose reel in the hose reel housing 12 is removed and pulled out of the hose reel housing 12 through the hose outlet opening 136. The forces required to secure the coupling device 28 in the coupling position, which must be applied by the securing device 92 in order to prevent an undesirable violent detachment of the hose reel housing 12 from the holding device 14, are minimized by the proposed positioning of the hose outlet opening 146. The safety device 92 can thus be dimensioned significantly smaller compared to other usual safety devices. In particular, the restoring element 128 can be implemented with a relatively low spring force constant for improved handling of the hose reel system 10. A user can thus transfer the securing device 92 from the securing position to the unlocking position simply by applying small forces to move the securing slides 112 in order to remove the hose reel housing 12 from the holding device 14, namely from the first coupling element 30.

With those in the 1 to 11 In the exemplary embodiments shown, the ground spike holder 16 is designed in several parts. However, as intended, the first coupling element 30 is permanently connected to the ground spike 18. Insoluble in this sense means that the first coupling element 30 can only be removed from the ground spike 18 by destroying it.

In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the ground spike holder 16 is designed in one piece, in particular monolithically. This has the particular advantage that the first coupling element 30 is designed to be fixed and non-rotatable with the ground spike 18 without additional safeguards.

In the 12 to 16 A further exemplary embodiment of a hose reel system 10 is shown schematically. The hose reel housing 12 corresponds in its structure to the exemplary embodiment 1 to 8 .

The holding device 14 is in the exemplary embodiment 12 to 16 in the form of a wall bracket 168. The wall bracket 168 is in the 12 to 16 exemplary embodiment shown in several parts. In alternative exemplary embodiments, not shown, the wall mount 168 is designed in one piece, in particular monolithically.

The 12 to 16 show an exemplary embodiment of a holding device 14 of the hose reel system 10, which is designed in two parts. It includes a first holding device component 170 and a second holding device component 172. The two holding device components 170 and 172 are in a holding position connected to each other, as shown schematically in the 12 , 15 and 16 is shown.

Furthermore, the two holding device components 170 and 172 can be moved from the holding position into a storage position. In this exemplary embodiment, the two holding device components 170 and 172 are separated from one another in the storage position, as shown for example in 13 is shown.

In alternative exemplary embodiments, not shown, the holding device components are permanently coupled to one another. Nevertheless, they can be moved from a holding position to a storage position by a relative movement of the two holding device components 170 and 172 to one another. For example, the holding device components 170 and 172 can also be coupled to one another in an articulated manner so that they can pivot about a pivot axis.

The holding device components 170 and 172 can also be brought back into the holding position from the storage position.

In the embodiment of the 12 to 16 the first coupling element 30 of the coupling device 28 is arranged or formed on the first holding device component 170. The second holding device component 172 is designed to be fixed to a wall 174.

The holding device 14 includes a connecting device 176 for non-positively and/or positively connecting the two holding device components 170 and 172 in the holding position. For this purpose, the connecting device 176 comprises interacting first connecting elements 178 and second connecting elements 180 corresponding to these. In this exemplary embodiment, the first connecting elements 178 are arranged or formed on the first holding device component 170. The second connecting elements 180 are arranged or formed on the second holding device component 172. In the connected position, the connecting elements 178 and 180 engage in a force-fitting and/or positive manner, as shown in FIGS 12 , 15 and 16 is shown schematically.

The first connecting elements 178 are in the form of connecting projections 182. The second connecting elements 180 are in the form of connecting receptacles 184.

The connecting projections 182 have two hook-shaped projections 186 and 188 pointing in opposite directions, so that the connecting projection 182 is essentially T-shaped overall. In the holding position, the projections 186 of the connecting projections 182 point counter to the direction of gravity, the projections 188 of the connecting projections 182 point in the direction of gravity.

The connection receptacles 184 are in the form of elongated receiving slots 190. A length 192 of the receiving slots 190 parallel to the direction of gravity is slightly shorter than a distance 194 between ends of the projections 186 and 188 pointing away from one another. This is good 15 to recognize.

The connecting projections 182 are formed in one piece, namely monolithically, with two mutually parallel profile walls 196 of a holding section 198 of the first holding device component 170. They have a thickness that corresponds to a thickness of the profile wall 196. The thickness 200 is slightly smaller than a width 202 of the receiving slots 190.

The second holding device component 172 is plate-shaped made of a thin metal plate 204. Two bulges 206 are formed by bending, which are laterally offset by a distance 210 with respect to an initial plane 208 defined by the metal plate 204. The second holding device component 172 thus comprises three strip-shaped plate sections 212 and 214 that run parallel to one another. Overall, the second holding device component 172 is designed to be mirror-symmetrical to a mirror plane 216. The plate section 214 is arranged between the two plate sections 212 and adjacent to the two bulges 206.

The bulges 206 include flat bulge sections 218 that run parallel to the plate sections 212 and 214.

Two bores 220 are formed on the plate sections 212, which laterally delimit the second holding device component 172. The holes 220 make it possible to screw the second holding device component 172 to the wall 174 with a total of four screws 222. As an alternative to the screws 222, nails or staples can also be used as fastening elements for securing the second holding device component 172 to the wall 174 or, for example, a board or a beam.

The two profile walls 196 are designed in the form of pointed triangles pointing away from the connecting projections 182. They are connected to one another via a connecting strip 224. The holding portion 198 is formed by bending from a flat plate material.

The holding section 198 is adjoined by a coupling plate 226, which is essentially circular. A longitudinal axis 228 of the holding section 198 runs in the mirror plane 216 when the holding device components 170 and 172 are engaged with one another.

When the wall mount 168 is used as intended, the coupling plate 226 defines a plane that runs perpendicular to the direction of gravity.

Two notches 230 are formed on the sides of the coupling plate 226, into which corresponding projections of the first coupling element 30 engage. The first coupling element 30 is thus connected to the coupling plate 226 in a rotationally secure manner.

The first coupling element 30 in the exemplary embodiment 12 to 16 The outer contour corresponds to the first coupling element 30 of the exemplary embodiment 1 to 11 essentially the same. However, it does not have a stabilization projection 68.

The first coupling element 30 in the exemplary embodiment 12 to 16 is also designed in two parts and comprises a first coupling element component 72 and a second coupling element component 74, which are in an analogous manner to the coupling element according to the exemplary embodiment of 1 to 11 are provided with screw openings and screw blind holes 80 in order to connect the two coupling element components 72 and 74 to one another by means of screws.

The two coupling element components 72 and 74 completely enclose the coupling plate 226 when connected together. The first coupling element 30 thus forms a free end of the first holding device component 170. In this way, the first coupling element 30 connects directly to the holding section 198.

A length of the holding section 198 is selected so that the hose reel housing 12, when it is in engagement with the first coupling element 30 with the second coupling element 32 arranged or formed on it in the coupling position, as shown for example in 12 is shown, can be rotated about the axis of rotation 44, which is defined by the preferred direction 42 defined by the coupling device 28, freely through 360 °.

The described first coupling element 30 again comprises a first securing element 94 in the form of a securing receptacle 98, so that the movable securing projection 100 of the securing device 92 of the hose reel system 10 is in the securing position as above in connection with the exemplary embodiment of 1 to 8 can be brought into action explained in detail.

To release, you can then proceed as explained above, namely by moving the safety slide 112 away from the axis of rotation 44 by a user against the action of the reset device 130, so that the safety elements 94 and 96 come out of engagement and also the first and second coupling elements 30 and 32 of the coupling device 28 can be disengaged by lifting the hose reel housing 12 from the first coupling element 30.

The first coupling element 30 of the wall mount 168 is also compatible with the hose reel housing, which includes two locking slides 112, as described above in connection with 9 to 11 explained in detail.

Overall, the hose reel system 10 is designed to be completely compatible with all of its components. This means that the hose reel housings 12 can optionally be coupled to a first coupling element 30 of the ground spike holder 16 or the wall holder 168. A user can therefore couple the hose reel housing 12, for example, to the wall bracket 168 and remove it from the wall bracket 168 for an alternative use and then couple it to the ground spike holder 16 in order to then freely rotate the hose reel housing 12 on the ground spike holder 16, in particular at another location in a garden For example, to water 148 plants with the hose.

In particular, two incisions 232 and 234 on the first holding device component 170 serve to ensure a stable connection of the holding device components 170 and 172. The incision 232 is formed between the projection 188 and the profile wall 196 and is dimensioned such that it can partially accommodate the bulge section 218, as is the case exemplary in 15 is shown. The incision 234 is designed to point away in the diametrical direction from the incision 232, but is wedge-shaped, i.e. it widens in width. The incision 232, on the other hand, has a constant width.

Due to the design of the widening incision 234, the two connecting projections 182 can be brought into engagement with the connecting receptacles 184. This will be done first the two projections 186 are inserted into the receiving slots 190, which run parallel to one another, until a bottom of the incision 234 abuts an upper end of the receiving slot 190 pointing counter to the direction of gravity. In this position, the projection 188 can now also be pivoted into the receiving slot 190. This is possible because there is a distance 236 between a free end of the projection 188 and the bottom of the incision 234, as shown schematically in 15 shown, is slightly smaller than the length 192 of the receiving slots 190. To finally bring the holding device components 170 and 172 into engagement in the holding position, the first holding device component 170 is displaced in the direction of gravity relative to the second holding device component 172 until a lower boundary edge of the receiving slot 190 is at a base of the incision 232, as shown in 15 is shown. Twisting of the holding device components 170 and 172 relative to one another is prevented because the projection 186 rests on a back side of the bulge section 218 facing the wall 174 and thus keeps the wall holder 168 stabilized in the holding position.

In the 17 to 21 A further exemplary embodiment of a wall mount 238 is shown schematically. It forms a holding device 14 of the hose reel system 10 and can be coupled to one of the hose reel housings 12 described above in a coupling position.

This holding device 14 also includes a first holding device component 170 and a second holding device component 172. The first holding device component 170 comprises two mutually inclined sections 240 and 242. The section 240 is elongated, rectangular and carries the first coupling element at its free end pointing away from the section 242 30. This is designed identically to the coupling element 30 in the exemplary embodiment 12 to 16 , so that reference can be made to the detailed description above for further explanation.

The section 242 is angled at 90° relative to the section 240 and is narrower than the section 240 is wide.

Two identically designed connection receptacles 244 are formed on each section 240, 242. The connection receptacles 244 include an insertion area 246 and a holding area 248.

The connection receptacles 244 are each designed in the form of openings on the plate-shaped sections 240 and 242.

The insertion area 246 is designed in the form of a bore 250 with a radius 252. The bore 250 is adjoined by a recess 256, which defines a radius 254 which is smaller than the radius 252.

The second holding device component 172 comprises a rectangular holding plate 258, from which two connecting projections 260 protrude. A first section 262 of the connecting projection 260 projects directly from the holding plate 258 and has a diameter which is slightly smaller than the radius 254. The section 262 is followed by a section 264 which is designed in the form of a circular plate. Their outer diameter is slightly smaller than the radius 252.

The connecting projection 260 is penetrated by a hole 266 so that the holding plate 258 can be fastened to the wall 174 with two screws 268. Heads 270 of the screws 268 rest on the section 264, so that the holding plate 258 rests flat against the wall 174 on the one hand and on the other hand the section 264 rests flat on the head 270. The holding plate 258 is held in a clamping manner between the wall 174 and the head 270, as this schematically in 21 is clearly visible.

The connection receptacles 244 can be engaged with the connection projections 260 as follows. In order to connect the first holding device component 170 to the second holding device component 172 so that the hose reel housing 12 can be placed on the first coupling element 30, the two connecting receptacles 244 on the smaller section 242 with their insertion areas 246 are aligned relative to the connecting projections 260 so that the Sections 264 of the connecting projections 260 can be passed through the insertion areas 246. This is exemplified in 19 shown. Now the section 242 and the holding plate 258 lie flat against each other. In a next step, the section 242 can be displaced in the direction of gravity so that the section 262 can engage in the holding area 248, as shown schematically in FIG 20 and 21 is shown. In this way, part of the section 242 engages in a receiving groove 272 of the connecting projection 260 formed between the section 264 and the holding plate 258, namely with a boundary edge of the connecting receptacle 244 in the area of the holding area 248. In this connection position, as shown schematically in the 20 and 21 is shown, the first holding device component 170 is now held in the holding position in a non-positive and positive manner on the second holding device component 172.

To release the first holding device component 170 from the second holding device component 172, the reverse procedure is followed. The section 242 is first displaced relative to the holding plate 258 against the direction of gravity, so that the section 264 and the bore 250 are aligned again, as shown in 19 shown schematically. In this position, the first holding device component 170 can then be pulled away from the second holding device component 172 in a direction perpendicular to the holding plate 258.

The two connection receptacles 244, which are formed on section 240, can be used to connect the first holding device component 170 and the second holding device component 172 to one another in a storage position. The connection receptacles 244 are aligned such that the two holding areas 248 point in the direction of the first coupling element 30. This makes it possible to align the first holding device component 170 with the section 240 parallel to the holding plate 258, as exemplified in 18 shown. The section 240 is then brought up to the holding plate 258, with the sections 264 in turn being aligned with the insertion areas 246 of the connection receptacles 244. The connecting projections 260 can thus be inserted through the connecting receptacles 244. To connect the first holding device component 170 and the second holding device component 172, the first holding device component 170 is then moved slightly in the direction of gravity so that the section 262 can engage in the holding area 248. In this storage position, only the first coupling element 30 and the section 242 protrude slightly from the wall 174. If no hose reel housing 12 is coupled to this wall bracket 238, it can be stored on the wall 174 to save space.

The connection receptacle 244 and the connecting projection 260 form first and second connecting elements 178, 180 of the connecting device 176 for non-positively and/or positively connecting the first holding device component 170 and the second holding device component 172 in a connecting position of the connecting device.

The wall bracket 238 described makes it possible to bring the two holding device components 170 and 172 into engagement with one another in two different holding positions, as has been explained in detail.

The first coupling element in the exemplary embodiments described is preferably made of a plastic, in particular by injection molding.

For optimal stability of the hose reel system 10, the holding devices 14, in particular the first and second holding device components 170 and 172, are made of a metallic material.

Another exemplary embodiment of a hose reel system 10 is shown schematically in FIG 22 to 29 shown. It includes components whose function corresponds to the components of the exemplary embodiments described above 1 to 21 correspond, so that partially identical reference symbols are used here for easier understanding.

In the 22 to 26 a holding device 14 in the form of a ground spike holder 16 is shown schematically. On the ground spike 18, which has a tip 24 for inserting the ground spike 18 into a ground 22, a first coupling element 30 is arranged, which corresponds in its basic structure, in particular its outer contour, to the coupling element 30 described in detail above.

On the hose reel housing 12, a second coupling element 32 is arranged or formed on a housing underside 38, specifically in the form of a coupling receptacle 36 for receiving the first coupling element 30, which is designed in the form of a coupling projection 34.

The second coupling element 32 comprises a cuboid-shaped housing 274 with a circular insertion opening 276, the inner diameter of which is adapted to an outer diameter of the coupling projection 34, so that it can be pushed into the housing 274 through the insertion opening 276. In the housing 274, two holding jaws 278 are mounted displaceably in a direction transverse to the preferred direction 42 of the coupling device 28 and are held resiliently biased towards each other by means of three restoring elements 128 of a restoring device 130.

The holding jaws 278 each have hollow cylindrical wall surface sections 280 facing one another, the inner diameter of which is adapted to an outer diameter of the annular groove 104 on the first coupling element 30. In the coupling position and the securing position of the hose reel system 10, the wall surface sections 280 lie as shown schematically in 25 shown on the first coupling element 30 in the area of the annular groove 104.

Free, mutually facing ends of the holding jaws 278 are beveled and each define sliding surfaces 282 for sliding surfaces 286 formed on cuboid actuating elements 284, which rest on the sliding surfaces 282, as exemplified in 23 shown.

The actuating elements 284 are movably held in the housing 274 between the two holding jaws 278, whereby they each rest on a sliding surface 282 of one of the two holding jaws 278, and an outer wall of the housing 274, which is provided with a window 288. The window 288 is slightly smaller than the largest side surface of the holding jaw 278, so that the holding jaw 278 cannot pass through the window 288, but can be actuated through it.

The functionality of the coupling device 28 and the security device 92 is explained below. The holding jaws 278 lie diametrically opposite one another with respect to the preferred direction 42 or the axis of rotation 44. If the two holding jaws 278 are moved towards one another, i.e. in the direction of the axis of rotation 44, the sliding surfaces 282 of the holding jaws 278 slide onto the sliding surfaces 286 of the actuating elements 284 and are moved away from one another against the action of the restoring elements 128. In the starting position, the holding jaws 278 with their wall surface sections 280 are as shown in 23 is clearly visible, something about the insertion opening 276. If the actuating elements 284 are actuated as described, the holding jaws 278 are displaced and completely expose the insertion opening 276.

However, in order to bring the hose reel housing 12 into engagement with the first coupling element 30, the actuating elements 284 do not necessarily have to be actuated. The wall surface sections 280 slide on the bevel 64, which forms a circumferential sliding surface 66, so that the holding jaws 278 slide on the sliding surface 66 during intended use, i.e. when the hose reel housing 12 moves in the direction of gravity towards the first coupling element 30 and are forcibly moved apart. If the hose reel housing 12 is moved so far in the direction of gravity relative to the first coupling element 30 that the holding jaws 278 are aligned with the groove 102, the restoring elements 128, which are designed in the form of compression springs 138, move the holding jaws 278 into the annular groove 104 and secure them in this way the hose reel housing 12 on the first coupling element 30.

The securing device 92 is designed in the form of a latching/snap connection device, which in particular includes the holding jaws 278 and the securing receptacle 98.

In order to be able to remove the hose reel housing 12 from the first coupling element 30 again, the actuating elements 284 must be actuated as already described, namely they are moved towards one another, in which case the holding jaws 278 are then forcibly moved away from one another against the effect of the restoring elements 128, as already explained , so that the wall surface sections 280 release the annular groove 104 on the coupling projection 34 and the hose reel housing 12 can be lifted off the first coupling element 30 against the direction of gravity.

The hose reel housing 12 can be in the form of the ground spike holder 16 instead of a holding device 14, i.e. as in the 22 to 26 shown schematically, alternatively can also be coupled with a wall bracket 290. The wall bracket 290, as shown schematically in the 27 and 28 is shown is formed in one piece, namely monolithic, made of a plastic by injection molding. It includes a plate-shaped wall fastening section 292 with four fastening holes 294 for fastening the wall fastening section 292 to a wall, a board or a beam with screws not shown in the figures.

A holding section 296 projects at right angles from the wall fastening section 292, at the free end of which the first coupling element 30 is formed.

The first coupling element 30 of the wall mount 290 is designed identically to the first coupling element 30 of the ground spike mount 16. This allows a user to selectively engage the hose reel housing 12 with the ground spike mount 16 or the wall mount 290.

On the hose reel housing 12 in the embodiment of the 22 to 26 A hose outlet opening 146 is also provided in order to wind up the hose 148 wound up on a hose reel (not shown) in the hose reel housing 12 or to pull it off the hose reel. The hose reel is mounted in the hose reel housing 12 so that it can rotate about the hose reel rotation axis 166, which is aligned perpendicular to the direction of gravity when the hose reel system 10 is used as intended.

In contrast to the exemplary embodiments of the hose reel housing 12 1 to 21 Here is the hose outlet opening 146 between the Hose drum rotation axis 166 and the top of the housing 150 are arranged, therefore closer to the top of the housing 150 than to the bottom of the housing 38. When the hose 148 is pulled out, the coupling device 28 in the exemplary embodiment therefore acts on the 22 to 26 greater forces on the first coupling element 30 than in the exemplary embodiment 1 to 21 the case is.

The described exemplary embodiments of hose reel systems 10 can be combined with their components in any way. Preferably, the first coupling elements 30 are each designed identically. They can thus be brought into engagement with different second coupling elements 32, as described above, in the coupling position and, if necessary, also in a securing position. In other words, the hose reel housing according to 1 to 21 also with the holding devices 14 according to 22 to 29 are coupled and vice versa the hose reel housing 12 according to 22 to 29 with the holding devices according to 1 to 21 .

With such a hose reel system 10, a user has a variety of options for using the hose reel housing 12, either with a wall mount or with a ground spike mount. In this way, he can always position the hose reel housing 12 in his garden where he needs a hose 148, in particular to solve irrigation or cleaning tasks.
