May have been lost. Therefore, since there is no instruction manual in case of emergency, there is a waste of extra work for the work that is originally easy. Besides, there are many other things like this.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned conventional circumstances. For a hose winder having a hose connection port on the body of a winding drum, a hose is used when necessary instead of a manual. The purpose is to eliminate the waste as described above by devising such that the handling information regarding the connection port can be seen on the spot.

[0006]

In order to solve the above problems, in the hose winder of the present invention, the base end of the hose wound by the winding drum is connected to the outer periphery of the body of the winding drum. In a hose winder equipped with a hose connection port,
A flat surface portion is formed around the hose connection opening on the outer periphery of the body portion of the winding drum, and the description of the hose connection opening is formed on the flat surface portion by unevenness.

[0007]

According to the above-mentioned means, the description about the hose connection port provided immediately adjacent to the flat surface formed around the hose connection port is written by embossed or indented letters or pictures due to unevenness. The user can perform work such as hose connection work based on this description.

[0008]

As described above, according to the present invention, a plane portion is provided around the hose connection port on the outer circumference of the body of the winding drum, and the description of the hose connection port is formed on the plane portion by unevenness. It is written as
Even if you forget to handle the hose connection port or lose the instruction manual, you can immediately know the necessary handling and precautions regarding the hose connection port by referring to the above description. Work on the hose connection can be done smoothly and correctly. In addition, since the above description is written by forming unevenness on the flat part around the hose connection port, it is easy to see when performing work, and the display disappears after long-term use. There is nothing to do.
