Definitions

  • Hose holding devices for storing hoses are well-known in prior art.
  • hose trolleys or hose boxes are known which allow the storage of hoses with great length (e.g. 20m or more).
  • Said hose trolleys or hose boxes require either much space on the floor or may have to be firmly mounted to a wall.
  • such solutions are not useful for short hoses.
  • US 2,569,857 discloses a hose holder according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a hose holder for storing a hose at a water tap.
  • the hose holder comprises a connection portion for connecting the holding device with the water tap.
  • the hose holder comprises a holding portion for receiving the hose.
  • the connection portion comprises a tap connection portion for mechanically and fluidly coupling the hose holder with said water tap and the holding portion comprises a hose receiving area, specifically a hook-shaped hose receiving area for supporting the coiled hose in a hanging position such that the windings of the coiled hose are arranged in a vertical or essentially vertical plane.
  • connection portion comprises a fluid channel for guiding water received from the water tap to the hose.
  • a fluid channel is integrated within the connection portion. So, after coupling the connection portion with the water tap, the fluid channel is fluidly coupled with the water outlet of the water tap and the liquid is guided through said fluid channel towards the hose.
  • said fluid channel is straight or angled, specifically right-angled. So in other words, the hose connection portion at which the fluid channel ends is provided below the connection portion or laterally next to the connection portion.
  • the tap connection portion comprises a quick connector element adapted to be coupled with a tap connector element or the tap connection portion is adapted to receive a quick connector element.
  • Said quick connector element may be a connector element commonly used for coupling a water hose at the water tap. More specifically, the connector element may be a female connector element adapted to receive a male connector element provided at the water tap.
  • the quick connector element may comprise a locking mechanism for securing the coupled state in which the male connector element is at least partly inserted in said female connector element. Said locking mechanism may be disabled by a sliding movement of a ring-shaped portion provided around the female connector element.
  • the tap connection portion comprises a thread for receiving a quick connector element.
  • the quick connector element can be replaced or the hose holder can be adapted to different sizes of male connector elements provided at the water tap.
  • the quick connector element comprises a fluid channel.
  • Said fluid channel may be arranged in the centre of the quick connector element in order to be coupled with the liquid outlet provided at the water tap.
  • said tap connection portion comprises a hose connection portion including a hose connector or being adapted to receive a hose connector. So, in other words, the tap connection portion comprises a coupling interface adapted to receive a free end of the hose. Thereby, the hose can be coupled with the hose holder.
  • the holding portion comprises a hook-shaped section including an inclined hose holding portion.
  • Said hose holding portion is inclined such that the hose holding portion rises towards its free end. In other words, the hose holding portion is inclined upwardly. Thereby, the hose windings will slide into the interior of the hose receiving area caused by the gravitation force.
  • the hose holder is adapted to be rotated around a vertical axis when coupled with the water tap.
  • Said quick coupling mechanism formed by the connector elements at the hose holder and the water tap may allow a rotational movement of the hose holder around the vertical axis which may be defined by the outlet of the water tap. Thereby, the hose holder may be able to follow the direction into which the hose is pulled.
  • connection portion and the holding portion may be provided by an integrally formed element, e.g. by an injection moulded element.
  • said integrally formed element may comprise further elements for coupling the hose holder with the water tap (quick connector element) or with the water hose (hose connector). Thereby, an inexpensive hose holder is obtained.
  • said clip portion is arranged opposite to the hose holding portion. So in other words, said clip portion may extend in the hose receiving area and may partition off a space for receiving the hose windings and a space for receiving the free hose end.
  • a hose holder set comprising a hose holder as described before and a water hose to be stored at said hose holder.
  • Said hose may be a spiral hose with a memory characteristic, i.e. the hose may be configured to go back into its helix shape after removal of pulling forces.
  • Said spiral hose may comprise a large coil diameter, e.g. a coil diameter greater than 150mm.
  • the holding portion 3 comprises a hook-shaped section 5. More in detail, said hook-shaped section 5 comprises a first hook portion 5.1 being coupled with the connection portion 2 and extending downwardly, a second hook portion 5.2 being a curved portion configured to couple the first hook portion 5.1 with a third hook portion 5.3, said third hook portion 5.3 being inclined and extending upwardly. Said third hook portion 5.3 is in the following also referred to as hose holding portion 7. Due to the inclination of the third hook portion 5.3, said third hook portion 5.3 is descending to the backside which effectuates that the hose windings slide down to the back side of the hook-shaped section 5.
  • Said first to third hook portions 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 confine a hose receiving area 6 which is configured to receive a helix shaped hose coil with windings arranged next to each other.
  • Said hose holding portion 7 may be inclined by an angle in the area between 15° and 40° with respect to a horizontal plane, said angle opening towards the pulling direction PD into which the hose 20 has to be pulled in order to be removed from the hose holder 1.
  • the connection portion 2 comprises a tap connection portion 4 adapted to mechanically and fluidly couple the hose holder 1 with the outlet of the water tab 30.
  • the tap connection portion 4 comprises a quick connector element 4.1 which is adapted to be coupled with a corresponding tap connector element 31 arranged at the water tap 30.
  • the quick connector element 4.1 may be of plug-in connector type, specifically a female plug-in connector adapted to receive a male connector arranged at the water tab. Said female plug-in connector may be adapted to automatically secure the connection with the male connector after receiving said male connector and may have a portion to be pulled in order to release the connection with said male connector. Based on said quick connector element 4.1, a mechanical and fluid coupling with the water tap 30 is achieved.
  • the tap connection portion 4 comprises a thread for coupling said hose holder 1 with said water tap 30.
  • Said thread may be adapted to directly couple the hose holder 1 with the water tap 30 or may be adapted to receive a corresponding thread of a quick connector element 4.1.
  • connection portion 2 further comprises a fluid channel.
  • Said fluid channel is formed in the interior of the connection portion 2 for providing a fluid connection to the hose 20.
  • the fluid connection is angled, i.e. the fluid connection comprises at least a first and a second fluid channel section and said fluid channel sections enclose an acute angle or a right angle.
  • said fluid connection may be a straight fluid channel.
  • the fluid channel may be adapted to receive water from the water tap 30 at the first free end and may end up at a hose connection portion 4.2.
  • Said hose connection portion 4.2 may be adapted to receive a hose connector 21 in order to fluidly couple a hose 20 at said hose connection portion 4.2.
  • Said hose connection portion 4.2 may comprise a port for receiving the free end of the hose 20 and may be adapted to clamp said free end of the hose 20 at the hose holder 1.
  • the hose connection portion 4.2 may comprise a tube section with a sealing edge, said tube section being adapted to be plugged into the free end of the hose 20.
  • Said free end of the hose 20 may be clamped at the hose connection portion 4.2 by using a locking nut, for example.
  • Said hose connection portion 4.2 may be arranged in close proximity to the quick connector element 4.1, respectively to the thread for coupling the hose connector 1 with the water tap 30 in order to reduce the bending moment applied to the tap connection portion 4 when the hose 20 is completely removed from the hose holder 1 and the user pulls the hose 20 in order to reach maximum dispensing radius.
  • the hose connection portion 4.2 is laterally arranged at the hose holder, i.e. the end of the hose 20 coupled with the hose connection portion 4.2 may be arranged perpendicular to the pulling direction PD.
  • the hose 20 starts horizontally at the hose connection portion 4.2 and therefore tangentially into the hose coil.
  • the hose 20 may have a coil diameter in the region greater than 150mm in order to allow a tidy arrangement of the hose at the hose holder 1.
  • the hose 20 may be a spiral hose, i.e. it automatically goes back into its original helix shape after usage.
  • a spiral hose with upper-mentioned dimensioning is advantageous because by using windings with a diameter greater than 150mm the action radius of said spiral hose is equal or essentially equal with the developed length (e.g. up to 10m) of the hose 20 although only small pulling forces have to be applied.
  • the tap connection portion 4 is adapted to take up axial loads (mainly caused by gravitation) and radial loads (due to said pulling force).
  • the tap connection portion 4 is adapted to allow a rotational movement of the hose holder 1 around a vertical axis A, i.e. the vertical axis defined by the water tab outlet.
  • Fig. 5 to 7 show a second embodiment of a hose holder 1.
  • first embodiment the first embodiment described before are mentioned. Apart from that, the described features of the first embodiment also remain valid for said second embodiment.
  • the fluid channel provided within the tap connection portion 4 is straight, i.e. the hose connection portion 4.2 is arranged below the quick connector element 4.1, respectively, the thread configured to couple the hose holder 1 with the water tap 30.
  • the hook-shaped section 5 for receiving the hose 20 is arranged in front of (with respect to the pulling direction PD) the tap connection portion 4, respectively, the connection portion 2.
  • the hose holder 1 may comprise a clip portion 8.
  • Said clip portion 8 may be configured to secure one or more windings of the hose 20, specifically one or more of the last windings hanging at the foremost point of the hose holding portion 7. More in detail, said clip portion 8 may be arranged between the first hook portion 5.1 and the third hook portion 5.3 in order to reduce the width of the hose receiving area 6 such that one or more windings of the hose 20 are clamped between said clip portion 8 and said third hook portion 5.3 (also referred to as hose holding portion 7). Thereby, the coiled hose 20 is secured within the receiving area 6.
  • said clip portion 8 may be configured to secure the free end of the hose 20 (water dispensing end of the hose 20). More in detail, the clip portion 8 is adapted to clamp the free end of the hose 20 between the first hook portion 5.1 and the clip portion 8. Preferably, after said clamping of the free end of the hose 20, the clip portion 8 also clamps one or more windings of the hose 20 between said clip portion 8 and said third hook portion 5.3.
  • a grip portion 9 is provided at the top of the hook-shaped section 5, specifically the first hook portion 5.1.
  • Said grip portion 9 may be integrally formed at said hook-shaped section 5 or said first hook portion 5.1.
