Abstract

Gravity flow for liquids evacuation from hose with the use of this specially designed drum with spiral grooves for coiling. Spring loaded allows reel to self wind hose with swivel connectors at the inlet for preventing tangling and crimping. A check valve is added to allow pressure relief so that liquids can self drain therefore making sure there are no liquids left in hose that could freeze.

  • Description: Plastic or Metal Housing—Interior & Exterior Cylinder Drums;
      • Depending on plastic or metal, there will be grooves or spacers formed in or on drum, to allow water hose to wind freely;
      • It will be a gravity self-draining hose, and a self winding hose.
      • It has a inlet hose swivel at the top to prevent tangling or crimping hose.
      • There is a quick connect at the top of the reel with a check valve to release pressure from hose in tank to cause water to drain by gravity out of the hose inside the tank. Also quick connects on tank & hose.
      • There is a spring inside the drum that self-winds the hose in between the interior & exterior drum/cylinder.
      • There is a 6 ft hose that quick disconnects at the supply faucet and at the top of tank (hose reel). There is also a quick disconnect at each end of hose reel.
  • Date of Conception: Dec. 1, 2006
  • Reference: Drawings attached as well as pictures of a prototype enclosed.
  • Comments: This hose & reel can be used year round outside in all types of weather.
      • The self draining of not only the hose, but also the supply line hose prevents freezing. The draining of this hose is not done by any form of squeezing, but by gravity. This device could be used for home, commercial or industrial purposes.
