Definitions
- the present invention refers to a flexible handle that is adapted to hold together, both to transport and storage purposes, elongated elements wound into coils, such as flexible hoses for watering applications.
- Handles of the above mentioned kind are known since a long time now in the art. They are constituted by a strip of plastic material, which is moulded as a single-piece construction with a grip, provided at an end portion of such a strip, and a gudgeon pin, which is provided at the other end portion of said strip.
- the strip itself is wound in a loop-like manner around the coils of the hose to be held compactly tight together, whereas the loop is closed by inserting the pin in the aperture of the handle.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a flexible hose-carrying handle that is provided with means which are capable of keeping attached to the wound hose also the various accessory items intended for use in connection with the same hose. In this manner, all problems connected with packaging, transporting, handling and storing the entire complex composed of the hose and the various accessory items thereof are solved.
- a flexible hose-carrying handle formed by a strip of plastic material provided with a grip and a gudgeon pin adapted to engage said grip, wherein moulded integrally, ie. in a single-piece construction with said strip there are a flexible serrated band and a slot-like hole, in which the free end of said band is adapted to be inserted so as to form a loop for the attachment of the accessory items that have to be kept together with, ie. joined to the hose.
- the hose-carrying handle illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 is constituted essentially by a strip 11 of plastic material having a reduced thickness, so as to assure a considerable flexibility of the same strip.
- the strip 11 is moulded to integrally include a grip 12, which is provided at an end portion thereof and has a ring-like aperture 13, and a gudgeon pin 14, which is provided transversally at the other end portion of the strip.
- Said grip 12 preferably has a H-shaped cross-section and is provided with a receptacle 15 provided with retaining teeth 16.
- the gudgeon pin 14 When the strip 11 is folded into a loop ( Figure 2), the gudgeon pin 14 is caused to pass through the aperture 13 of the grip 12 and to snap-fit into the receptacle 15 by taking advantage of the elasticity of the retaining teeth 16. In this manner, a handle is created that is able to support and carry flexible items 17 wound into a roll, such as watering hoses, as shown in the Figures 3 to 5.
- a flexible band 21 which is provided with a serrated surface, and an appendix provided with a slot-like hole 23.
- the band 21 and the slot-like hole 23 are provided on mutually opposed sides with respect to the strip 11, and the band 21 extends parallelly with respect to the body of the strip 11.
- the strip 11 can be folded and the free end portion thereof is inserted in the slot-like hole 23 until the serrated surface 22 thereof gets eventually engaged in said hole. In this manner, a further attachment loop is created, which may be used to keep together with, ie. joined to the hose various accessory items intended for use in conjunction with the same hose.
- a connector 24 and a spray nozzle 25 are shown in Figures 3 and 4 by mere way of example.
- the accessory items 24 and 25 are held by the band 21 in a non-use condition thereof, duly attached to the hose-carrying handle, whereas in Figure 4 they are shown as fitted on to the respective end portions of the hose 17, in a ready-for-use condition thereof.
- the band 21, which is integral with the strip 12 of the hose-carrying handle, is useful also in a further condition of use, which is illustrated with reference to Figure 5.
- an end portion of the hose 17 eg. the one carrying the connector 24, in Figure 5
- the band 21 stays connected to the same hose without any problem, but with the advantage of having it ready in position when the hose must then be rewound after use.
- the band 21 is adjustable, in the sense that it can be inserted in the slot-like hole 23 to different lengths, thereby forming variable-diameter attachment loops capable of accommodating one or more accessory items, according to the needs.
- an elastic tooth (not shown in the Figures) may be provided inside the slot-like hole 23 so that it is engaged automatically when inserting the band 21 therein, and is capable of being bent with a finger when the same band has to be released therefrom.
