Definitions
- This invention relates to hose handling equipment, and in particular to equipment used for rolling and re-stowing hoses.
- hoses are deployed to deliver water to a fire or other location remote from the water supply.
- hoses When the ob is completed, or if the hoses must be moved to a new location, it is necessary to rewind the hoses. This is a time consuming and clumsy task when done by hand, as is normally the case.
- the handling of hoses, especially wet hoses is heavy work that can cause strains and sprains, and can also unnecessarily tire the firefighters or workers.
- a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown at 10 in Fig.'s 1- 4, and includes a frame 12, a motor 14, a gearbox 16 having a horizontal output shaft 18, a guide roller 20, a safety frame 22, and a hitch mount 24.
- Safety frame 22 is provided to prevent accidental insertion of hands or equipment into the moving roller or spool.
- the frame is designed to be compact and partially dissembled to permit easy transport by one or two persons.
- the guide roller 20 is mounted on a support that is held in place on the frame by a removable pin that can be removed to detach the support and guide roller (Fig. 2).
- safety frame 22 is also removable by removing pin 28.
- Motor 14 as shown is an electric motor that is powered either by the vehicle transporting the roller or by a portable generator.
- the motor in the preferred embodiment is powered by a 12 volt power supply, but can also be powered by a 110 volt power supply in other embodiments. In still other embodiments motor 14 is gasoline ordiesel powered.
- the invention is designed to be mountable on the front or rear carrying rack of an ATV, and for this reason the guide roller 20 and the safety frame 22 are removable so that the frame 12 is supportable on an ATV carrying rack.
- the frame 12 includes a tongue 24 that inserts into a standard square trailer hitch receiver (not shown). By mounting the frame on a hitch in this way the roller can be operated by a single operator and quickly and easily moved with the vehicle.
- the frame is preferably made of aluminum to minimize the weight of the frame assembly, although any suitable material of construction will suffice.
- a hose spool 30 mounted on the motor output shaft.
- Spool 30 includes a mounting hub 32 that fits onto the output shaft, a backing plate 34 that is mounted on mounting hub 32, and tines 36 around which the end of the hose is wrapped to initially attach the hose to the roller.
- the backing plate is provided to ensure that the hose is wound in a flat on the spool.
- the invention can be used to wind wires, cables and tubing onto a spool. In some instances it might be necessary or preferable to adjust the size and spacing of the tines and or the spool for the specific application, but this can be readily achieved as necessary.
- the frame 42 includes two receiver hitches 44 and 46 that permit frame 42 to be mounted on the vehicle either horizontally or longitudinally.
- frame 42 can be mounted in either orientation at three different heights utilizing hitch bar 48.
- hitch bar 48 includes offset portions 50 and 52.
- Portion 50 is insertable into either of receiver hitches 44 or 46 at any of three different positions to position portion 52 above, below or at the same height as receiver 44 or 46.
- Hitch bar 48 can be mounted in three different orientations as shown in Fig.'s 11-13 to provide three different mounting heights as shown. The variable mounting heights accommodate different operators and also facilitate use of the apparatus when the vehicle is parked on slanted terrain.
- the apparatus is fitted with removable left and right line guide-guards 54 and 56. Each is removeable mounted in receivers 55 and 57 and is retained by a removeable pin 58. Each can be individually mounted and permit the operation of the apparatus to wind hoses or lines from either side of the vehicle without the need to reposition the vehicle.
- frame 42 includes a tray portion 60 (Fig. 11) that provides a storage location for accessories such as a foot pedal assembly used to operate the motor, or for tools.
