Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an irrigation hose winding cart, in particular for garden and lawn watering applications.
  • the present invention refers to a hose winding cart which is substantially made of plastic material and is formed by a minimum number of component parts that are mouldable and assemblable in a simple and convenient manner.
  • the EP 0 243 884 publication discloses a hose winding cart concept in which most component parts are made of moulded plastic material and all such component parts are assemblable together by means of snap-fitting or press-fitting connection means.
  • the hose winding cart according to such patent calls for the use of a number of component parts, among which a handlebar member and a base member, which are made of metal and are different from each other in their shape.
  • the wheels are mounted at the end portions of a transversal bar, which is joined to the base member by welding, and the spool is made of two half-spools, each one of them integral with the respective side flange.
  • the result of such a construction is that the hose winding cart according to the above cited patent requires extensive, complex and differentiated processing; in addition, it turns out to be rather bulky, ie. encumbering, in transport and storage.
  • a further proposal within the scope of the present invention is that the plastic parts that make up the hose winding cart are obtained with the use of the lowest possible number of moulds, from which said moulded parts should come out in clusters and connected to each other by means of elements that are easily broken when the cart is assembled.
  • the handlebar member and the base member of the cart may still be made of metal.
  • said members shall be similar in both their shape and size.
  • the hose winding cart according to the present invention ( Figures 1 and 2) has a structure which is substantially constituted by:
  • the handlebar member 10 and the base member 11 are substantially in the shape of a U with an internal cross-bar 17 provided for stiffening.
  • these members are made of plastic material in the same way as all other component parts making up the hose winding cart.
  • said handlebar member and base member may still be made of metal, provided that they keep being similar to each other as far as both their size and shape are concerned.
  • the support element 12 is substantially in the shape of a U, whose lower transverse leg, however, has extensions 25 on both sides for the attachment, by means of a snap-fitting connection, of the wheels 16. Both upper free ends of the support member 12 are provided with a through-hole that forms the seat accomodating the side coupling means 121 for the corresponding end portions of the handlebar member 10 and the base member 11.
  • the support member 12 is further provided, near each one of the upper free ends thereof, with a further through-hole 19, whose axis extends orthogonally with respect to the axis of the corresponding side coupling means 121.
  • the through-holes 19 are aligned axially and serve the purpose of respectively accomodating the hollow stud 20 of the spool 13, adapted to ensure connection with the water hoses (not shown), and enabling the solid stud 21 of a handle 22, provided to rotatably actuate the hose winding spool 13, to be inserted therein.
  • the hose winding cart according to the present invention is therefore made up by an extremely reduced number of basic parts, without of course neglecting all further advantages that are essentially aimed at with such a construction, ie. the possibility of reducing also the number of moulds required to produce the parts making up the cart, as well as reducing the size, ie. the space requirements of the cart when packaged for storage and transport.
  • a number of parts such as the handlebar member 10 (or the base member, which is similar to the handlebar element), a half-spool 14 and a flange 15 of the spool, as well as a wheel 16, can all be obtained with a single mould in a single moulding operation. It will of course be appreciated that, if it must be made of metal, the handlebar member (or the base member) will on the contrary be produced separately.
  • Figure 4 illustrates how it is possible to obtain the support member 12, the stud 20 and the handle 22 with the stud 21 out of a second single mould.
  • the moulding process itself can of course be either the traditional injection moulding one or the so-called gas-assisted injection moulding method, the latter enabling actually more strong parts to be produced with differing aesthetics.
