Claim 1
Independent Claim
219 words
A hose reel assembly comprising a reel including a pair of bell shaped components, each comprising a cylindrical section terminating at one end in a base and at its other end in a flange, and means joining said bell shaped components base to base, a reel supporting structure including a flow passageway extending axially of said base to base bell shaped components, means for rotatably supporting said reel on said supporting structure including a sleeve about said flow passageway rotatably supporting said base to base bell shaped components on said flow passageway, a hose coupling at one end of said passageway to permit of connection to a source of liquid, and a hose coupling at the opposite end of said flow passageway for connection of a hose, that bell-shaped component proximate to said latter hose coupling, having an opening through which such hose may pass for winding upon said hose reel, stop means on said flow passageway adjacent one end of said sleeve to help restrict said sleeve as to position on said flow passageway, and clutch means adjustably mounted on said flow passageway adjacent the opposite end of said sleeve to complete restriction of said sleeve and enable pressure engaging said sleeve between said clutch means and said stop means whereby to selectively inhibit rotation of said reel.
