In general, a hose is a flexible tube used to transport a liquid or gas under pressure. Such a hose is typically cylindrical in shape. The hoses are made as different materials, for example nylon, polyurethane, polyethylene, neoprene, canvas or rubbers, and are based on the use environment and the rated pressure. Hoses are used in gardening, fire fighting, underwater diving, agriculture and various industries, hydraulics, chemical engineering and construction. The high pressure hoses are made of tightly woven canvas cloth, with or without rubber linings on the inner side, and are typically used for fire extinguishing, with water being injected at high pressure through the hoses and using high pressure pumps. Alternately creates back pressure at or near the outlet or spout of the hose.

High pressure hoses are often required for long periods of fire fighting and fire fighting by hand, lifting or grasping, and are frequently found in oil refineries, petrochemical plants and building structures, such as apartment buildings, warehouse buildings and the like. Handling such high pressure hoses with user hands is a difficult task. Moreover, high pressure hoses are difficult to grip or handle, such as when the outer surface of the hose is wet, for example when the hose is exposed to rainwater or wet from water discharged from the hose. Firefighters are also difficult to hold or position the hose, because of the back pressure applied on the hose when high pressure water is discharged from the hose. Moreover, adjusting or moving such high pressure hoses to other positions is a difficult task.

Accordingly, there is a need for a device that allows a user to handle and hold a hose that is being sprayed with water at high pressure in a more improved state. There is also a need for a device that allows a user to move and handle these hoses without difficulty.

The present invention is to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a device and a method that can be handled by the user while holding the hose in which the water is injected at a high pressure in an improved state.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the general cylindrical handle includes finger grooves in which the user's fingers are positioned to allow the user to handle the high pressure hose by holding the general cylindrical handle.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising rotatably connecting the second general cylindrical curved fin element to a spindle detachably and substantially vertically connected to the support member at the second end of the support member. The second general cylindrically curved fin element rotates about a longitudinal axis common to both the second general cylindrical curved fin element and the spindle such that the first general cylindrical curved fin element and the rotatable element are rotatable. And wherein said hose positioned between said second generally cylindrical curved fin element allows for a smooth roll over said rotatably connected second common cylindrical curved fin element.
