[0020]
With the above configuration, the front-rear length (total length) of the watering hose winder 1 is the same as the diameter of the take-up reel 2, the support frame 4.4, and the front end of the support frame 4. A draining means 3 protruding forward from the portions 4b, 4b by about one-fourth of the diameter of the take-up reel 2, and a half of the diameter of the take-up reel 2 from the rear end of the support frame 4, 4 With the handle member 8 protruding by about a length, the diameter is less than twice the diameter of the take-up reel 2 and the layout is compact, so that when storing in a barn or the like, there is not much space and the storage capacity is improved. Have been.
[0021]
A second stand 9.9 is suspended from both left and right operation portions 8b of the handle member 8, and the second stand 9 is suspended from the operation portion 8b and has a rod member 9a, It consists of a plate member 9b attached to the lower end of the rod portion 9a, and is configured such that when the handle member 8 is lowered, the plate member 9b contacts the ground.
[0022]
Next, the configuration of the water draining means 3 will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1, the water draining means 3 extends from the front end 4 b of each support member 4 to the front with a first roller 31 and a second roller 32 disposed in front of the take-up reel 2. A first roller support member 33 that supports the first roller 31; and a second roller support member that is rotatably attached to the front of the support portion 4a of each support member 4 and that supports the second roller 32. 34, and compression springs 35, 35 interposed between the first roller support member 33 and the second roller support member 34 to press the second roller 32 against the first roller 32. ing.
[0023]
In the present embodiment, the compression spring 35 is provided between the first roller support member 33 and the second roller support member 34, but another elastic member is provided instead of the compression spring 35. May be.
[0024]
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the first roller support member 33 includes a support member 33 a having an “L” shape in a side view, and a bracket 33 b that supports the first roller 31. 33a is attached to the front end 4b of the support member 4, and a bracket 33b is attached to a vertical portion of the support member 33a.
In this way, the first roller support members 33 are fixed to the left and right support members 4, and the first roller 31 rotates between the brackets 33b of the left and right first roller support members 33. The shaft 31a is pivotally supported with the left and right horizontal directions. The first roller 31 is disposed above the bracket 33b, and a vertically long slot 33c is formed below the bracket 33b.
[0025]
The second roller support member 34 includes a pair of left and right arm members 34b, 34b, and a handle member 34a for connecting between the front ends of the arm members 34b, 34b. The rear ends of the arm members 34b are rotatably attached to the front portions of the support portions 4a of the pair of support members 4.
[0026]
The second roller 32 is disposed between the brackets 33b of the first roller support members 33, and the arm members 34b of the second roller support member 34 are located on the left and right outer sides of the brackets 33b. The rotation axis 32a of the second roller 32 is passed through the long holes 33c, 33c of the left and right brackets 33b, 33b, and is axially supported between the front and rear portions of the arm members 34b, 34b.
[0027]
The water draining means 3 is configured as described above. Normally, the second roller support member 34 is urged upward by the compression springs 35, 35, and the second roller 32 comes into pressure contact with the first roller 31. (See FIG. 4A). Then, the operator grips the handle member 34a of the second roller support member 34 and rotates the second roller support member 34 downward, whereby the nip between the second roller 32 and the first roller 31 is released. (See FIG. 4B).
[0028]
When the hose 28 is rewound to the take-up reel 20 after watering, the take-up handle 25 is attached to the rotation axis of the take-up reel 2 and the hose 28 is connected to the first roller 31 as shown in FIGS. When the hose 28 is wound around the take-up reel 2 by turning the take-up handle 25 while holding the hose between the second roller 32, water remaining in the hose 28 is removed by the first roller 31 and the second roller 32. It is sent to the end side and is discharged from the hose end, thereby improving workability.
[0029]
Then, when the metal coupler attached to the hose end approaches the nip portion between the first roller 31 and the second roller 32, the operator grips the handle member 34a and rotates the second roller support member 34 downward. Then, the first roller 31 and the second roller 32 are separated from each other so that the coupler can pass between the rollers 31 and 32.
As described above, the drainage unit 3 is an embodiment. However, the configuration of the drainage unit 3 is not limited to the above configuration, and may be another configuration.
[0030]
When the take-up reel 2 is rotated and the hose is taken up after the work is completed, the hose 28 is taken up while being crushed up and down by the rollers 31 and 32 of the draining means 3, and the water in the hose 28 is pushed out. It can be lightened during transportation.
[0031]
Next, the configuration of the take-up reel 2 will be described.
The take-up reel 2 is detachably mounted between the support members 4 and is replaceable.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, a support bracket 41 is erected at an intermediate portion between the left and right support members 4, 4. The support bracket 41 includes a front plate 41 </ b> F, a rear plate 41 </ b> R, A guide plate 41S is provided, a receiving portion 41a is formed between the front plate 41F and the rear plate 41R, and the guide plate 41S is disposed on the left and right outer sides of the receiving portion 41a. That is, the receiving portion 41a is formed so that the front, the rear, and the left and right outer sides are surrounded by the plates 41F, 41R, and 41S.
[0032]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, a through-hole 2 a is formed in the rotation axis of the take-up reel 2.
As shown in FIGS. 3 and 6, the shaft center member 20 includes two left and right shaft members 20L and 20R which are coaxially arranged, and the two shaft members 20L and 20R are opposed to each other. Magnets 21 are provided on the inner end, and bearings 22 are provided on the outer side, and one shaft member 20L is detachably attached to the left side of the through hole 2a of the rotation axis of the take-up reel 2. And the other shaft member 20R is removably inserted into the right side of the through hole 2a of the take-up reel 2 to attract the magnets 21 of the two shaft members 20L and 20R.
[0033]
The bearing 22 projects radially outward from the shaft member 20L (20R) (the bearing 22 is configured to be larger than the shaft members 20L and 20R). It is arranged so as to be fitted to the receiving portion 41a. At the time of mounting, the shaft members 20L and 20R are inserted into the through holes 2a of the take-up reel 2 from the left and right so that the magnets 21 and 21 do not come off while being attracted by the attraction force.
[0034]
With the above configuration, the shaft members 20L, 20R are inserted into the shaft center of the take-up reel 2, and are placed between the receiving portions 41a, 41a from above the support brackets 41, 41 of the pair of support members 4, 4. By doing so, it is possible to easily attach and detach the device without using a special tool, and the workability is improved. Then, the take-up reel 2 is rotatably supported by the bearings 22.
[0035]
With such a configuration, the take-up reel 2 can be easily replaced, and the take-up reel 2 can be replaced between the pair of support members 4, 4 according to the use, which is advantageous in cost. It becomes.
[0036]
【The invention's effect】
The present invention is configured as described above, and has the following effects.
