As shown in FIG. 2, it is attached and stored in the locking claw 40 provided in the reinforcing rib 37 of the lid 6.

[Mode of Use] The step 1 with a hose reel configured as described above is usually stored in a garage or a warehouse. When using, the step 39 with the hose reel is carried by the handle 39 of the lid 6. After installing in the desired position, either hose outlet window 8,9
Pull the hose 55 from and connect it to the tap. At this time, the distance between the step 1 with the hose reel and the faucet,
Considering the distance between the footrest with hose reel 1 and the object to be splashed with water (automobile, etc.), the large take-up drum 45 is placed farther away.
The hose 55 of is used. Especially when washing a car with a high car height or watering plants placed in a high position, it is convenient to have a step, so at this time, put the step 1 with hose reel near the object to be watered. The hose 55 of the large winding drum 45 is extended to the faucet.

While the hose 55 from one of the winding drums 45 and 46 is connected to the tap of the tap, the hose 55 from the other is extended to the object to which water is applied. A nozzle or the like that can open and close the water ejection port may be used at the tip of the hose 55 on the object side.

Then, when water is supplied to a high position,
It is carried out by riding on the lid 6 of the stepboard 1 with the hose reel.

After the work is completed, the buckle 100 is removed, the lid 6 is opened, and the handle 50 stored on the back surface of the lid 6 is removed and attached to the winding drums 45 and 46. Then, with the handle 50, the winding drums 45, 46
Is rotated to wind each hose 55 into the step 1. After that, the handle 50 is removed and attached to the locking claw 40 of the lid body 6, and the lid body 6 is put on the main body 5 and fixed by the buckle 100. Then, the handle 39 is held and stored in a warehouse or the like. When using it as an ordinary springboard, return it to the place of use.

[Operation] In the above-mentioned use, each part operates as follows.

When the hose 55 is pulled out from the winding drums 45 and 46, the winding drums 45 and 46 rotate. The rotation of the take-up drums 45, 46 is caused by the rotation shaft 58,
65 is supported by the rotation shaft support hole 102 of the outer support 48, and the connection rotation shaft portion 75 of the connecting pipe 71 is supported by the drum support cylinder 120 of the intermediate support 47 and rotates. At this time,
Since the rotary shaft support hole 102 of the outer support 48 is not divided into two but is formed integrally in a circular shape, rattling hardly occurs between the rotary shaft support hole 102 and the rotary shafts 58 and 65. , Rotate stably.

Further, between the connecting rotary shaft portion 75 and the drum support cylinder 120, the O-ring mounted in the O-ring groove 80 comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface of the drum support cylinder 120 having a mirror finish, and the take-up drum. The rotations of 45 and 46 are supported, but in this case, some rattling occurs. In order to prevent this, the notch 138 of the rotary shaft support plate 49 contacts the fitting groove 139 provided at the base of the connecting rotary shaft portion 75 from below to support the connecting rotary shaft portion 75.
Therefore, the connecting rotary shaft portion 75 is rotatably supported by the notch 138 of the rotary shaft supporting plate 49 together with the drum supporting cylinder 120.

As a result, the rotary shafts 58 and 65 and the connecting rotary shaft portion 75 are securely supported, and the winding drums 4 are
5, 46 rotate stably with respect to the main body 5.

When the hose 55 of one of the winding drums 45 and 46 is connected to the tap of the tap water and the water flows, the water flows from the hose 55 into the connecting pipe 71 through the hose connecting pipe 81. From the connecting rotary shaft portion 75 to the drum support cylinder 12
It passes through 0 and flows into the connecting rotary shaft portion 75 of the other winding drum 46, 45. Further, the water passes through the hose 55 through the hose connection pipe 81, and water is jetted from the tip of the hose 55 to the object.

At this time, the connection rotary shaft portion 75 is supported by the rotary shaft support plate 49 between the winding drums 45 and 46 and is inserted into the drum support cylinder 120 in a stable state. As a result, the O-ring mounted in the O-ring groove 80 of the connecting rotary shaft portion 75 is evenly contacted with the inner peripheral surface of the drum support cylinder 120, and sufficient watertightness is maintained in this portion. In this state, the flow of water between the winding drums 45 and 46 is allowed.

[Effects of the Embodiment] Since the hose reel is stored in the step stool 1, it is less bulky and easier to organize and store as compared to the case where the step stool and the hose reel are individually aligned. Further, even when it is used, the arrangement of the hose 55 is the same as that of the step stool 1 and the work such as removing and using a separate outer box is not required, so the usability is greatly improved.

When storing, the hose 55 need only be wound up on the winding drums 45, 46 and placed in one corner of the garage as it is, so that it is easy to clean and not bulky and easy to organize and store. Become.

In the step 1 with the hose reel, the upper side surface of the lid 6 is easily wet with water at the time of use, but even if it gets wet, the long groove 38 is provided on the upper side surface of the lid 6, so that it cannot slip. Not safe.

Further, since the handle 50 is attached to the locking claw 40 of the lid 6 when not in use and stored, and taken out only when in use, the handle 50 can be carried when carrying the hose reel step 1 or washing the car. The 50 does not get in the way, and the usability of the step 1 with the hose reel is further improved.
