ROBERT ll LIVINGSTUN- Patented May 2?, 1941 UiiiTEQ artist? @FE EQE Application March 113,

3 Claims.

This invention relates to improvements in holders and has particular reference to a holder for securing hose, such as garden hose, and a holder through which the hose may be carried from place to place.

A further object is to produce a device of this character which is economical to manufacture, one which may be readily employed, and one which will help to preserve the hose when not in use.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same,

Fig. 1 is a front elevation of my device as the same would appear in use;

Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a rear end elevation of Fig. 1.

Rubber garden hose deteriorates very rapidly if the same is left upon the ground; and, therefore, it is customary to coil the hose in order that the water may drain thereout during the coiling operation. After the hose is coiled, it lifted bodily and deposited over a projecting bracket. There are also hose reels upon the market which accomplish the same purpose.

My invention, however, consists of a very simple arrangement wherein the same is placed upon the ground upon its side, and the convolutions of the hose are laid therein.

In the accompanying drawing wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be noted that my device consists of a wire bent upon itself to form spaces A, B, and C between horizontally disposed arms 5, 6, l, and 8. A handle is shown at 9; and a hasp, at N. This hasp is pivoted to the arms 8, and when in the full line position of the figures, engages hooks l2 formed in the end of the handle 9. In use the hasp l I is swung Serial No. 261,654

(Cl. est-45) open, and the end of the hose is laid through the space C at the point E 3. The next convolution is indicated at It, and in a similar manner each convolution is placed in its space until one section has been filled. Then the convolutions are increased in size and the next space filled. Finally, the space A is filled; then the hasp is swung to its full line position, and the hose will be retained as indicated in the drawing.

It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described is to be taken as a preferred example of the same and that various changes relative to the material, size,

. shape and arrangement of parts may be resorted 1 to Without departing from the spirit of the invention or the scope of the subjoined claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

1. A hose holder, comprising a wire bent upon itself to form a, plurality of spaced horizontal loops in vertical alinement, a hasp pivoted to the outer end of the lower loop and straddling the loops above, and a handle pivoted to the wire at the rear of the upper loop and removably connected to the upper end of the hasp.

2. A hose carrier comprising a wire formed into a vertical loop and continuing around said loop to form a plurality of horizontal spaced loops in vertical alinement, a hasp pivoted on the outer end of the lower loop and straddling the loops above, and a handle pivoted to the wire at the upper end of the vertical loop and removably connected to the upper end of the hasp.

3. A hose holder comprising a wire bent upon itself to form a lower horizontal loop and a plurality of spaced horizontal loops thereabove extending out beyond a vertical line through the outer end of the lower loop, a hasp pivoted to the outer end of the lower loop and extending upwardly on the outside of the loops above, and a handle pivoted to the inner end of the upper loop and removably connected to the upper end of the hasp.
