Abstract
A fire hose reeling system includes a support frame that is positionable on a ground surface. The support frame has a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A reel apparatus is mounted on the support frame. The reel apparatus releasably engages a fire hose and forms the hose into a roll when the reel apparatus is actuated. A stabilizing panel has a perimeter edge pivotally coupled to the support frame such that the stabilizing panel is positionable in an upright position defining a stored position or in deployed position extending away from the first lateral edge. When in the deployed position, the stabilizing panel abuts the ground surface and is stepped upon while the reel apparatus is used to stabilize the assembly.
Claims18
A fire hose rolling assembly configured to assist a person in rolling a fire hose for storage and transportation purposes, the assembly comprising:
- a support frame being positionable on a ground surface, the support frame having a front end, a rear end, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge;
- a reel apparatus being mounted on a post adjacent to an upper end of the post, the reel apparatus being configured to releasably engage a fire hose and form the hose into a roll when the reel apparatus is actuated;
- and
- a stabilizing panel having an upper surface, a lower surface and a perimeter edge, the perimeter edge including an interior edge and an exterior edge positioned opposite of each other, the stabilizing panel being pivotally coupled to the support frame such that the interior edge is adjacent to the first lateral edge, the stabilizing panel being positioned in an upright position extending upwardly from the interior edge to define a stored position or in deployed position laterally extending away from the first lateral edge, wherein the stabilizing panel abuts the ground surface and is stepped upon while the reel apparatus is used to stabilize the assembly.
