Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a water hose coiler, more particularly to a flat water hose coiler that can be operated in both directions for releasing or coiling the water hose.
  • the collection of water hose relies on the application of coilers, which enables the user to coil water hoses quicker, more convenient, and neater. Further, the coiled water hose can have a better protection to prevent the water hose from being twisted, bent, or folded improperly and keeps the original shape of the hose to maintain the life of the water hose.
  • US 4649954 discloses a reel assembly having two axially aligned electric cord reels and two garden water hose axially aligned reels.
  • a power source is provided and any one or all reels or any number in between can be rotated at any one time.
  • Means are provided to connect the hose on one garden hose reel to the hose on another garden.hose reel, whether one reel is turning to the other or not.
  • Said means comprise rotatably and sealingly connected conduits inside respective axles supporting the garden hose reels, a female connection being in fluid connection with one conduit and the other conduit connecting to a male outlet.
  • the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a flat water hose coiler for coiling a flat water hose more quickly and convenient, protecting the hose better and extending the life of the water hose; the coiler will accommodate the two water hoses on both sides of the water accommodating space, such that the coiling and releasing of the water hoses on both sides can be performed independently without interfering with each other; the two independent water hoses can be interconnected by means of the structures of the main shaft and the connecting shaft, such that the water passages in the water hose regardless in the coiling or releasing state can be kept smooth.
  • the present invention provides a flat water hose coiler as set out in Claim 1.
  • FIG. 6 for the flat water hose connector structure of the present invention, which includes a coiler specially designed for a special flat shaped water hose.
  • the water hose 10 is made of PVC materials with elastic property.
  • a plurality of water passages 11, 12, 13 are disposed in parallel with each other inside the water hose 10, so that the cross-section of the water hose 10 is substantially in a flat shape.
  • the middle of the outer sidewall of the water passages 11, 13 on both sides of the water hose 10 has a reinforced wing 14, 15 horizontally extended outward.
  • the structural strength and supportability of the flat water hose 10 are stronger than those of the prior-art circular water hose, and will not be twisted, bent, or deformed easily.
  • the aforementioned coiler for flat water hose 10 comprises:
  • the side ring covers 65, 65' on the same side can be rotated, because the main shaft 30 and the connecting shaft 40 are fixed by the fixing plates 301, 42 and the side ring covers 65, 65'. Therefore the side ring covers 65, 65' respectively drive the main shaft 30 and the connecting shaft 40, and the bobbins 66, 66' also rotate accordingly to coil the water hoses 10, 10' and further store them inside the water hose accommodating space 70, 70'.
  • the water hoses 10, 10' are neatly coiled as shown in FIG. 7, and will not be twisted, pressed, folded, or have the problem of deformation.
  • the water passages 11, 11', 12, 12', 13, 13' of the entire water hose are kept running smoothly.
  • the side ring covers 65, 65' are turned in the opposite direction to release the water hoses 10, 10' from the bobbins 66, 66', the user can pull the water hoses 10, 10' out to an appropriate length. Since the main shaft 30 and the connecting shaft 40 are movably coupled, therefore they can be driven by the side ring covers 65, 65' respectively and will not interfere with each other. Thus, the water hoses 10, 10' on both sides can be coiled or released independently without interfering with each other.
  • the end of the water hose extended from the coiler can be connected to a connector 16, 17 as shown in FIGs. 6 and 7, wherein one connector can be connected to a faucet, and the other connector to a tool such as a sprinkler.
  • the water in the water accommodating space 38 can be sealed by the sealing up ring 351, 361 to prevent leaking.
