Abstract
A firehose winding apparatus having at least one pair of opposing arms. Each opposing arm has a flanged member at one end of the opposing arm and an attachment point at the other end. A central hub member attached to the pair of opposing arms at the attachment point of each opposing arm so that the arms extend from the central hub member. For foldable arms, a locking pin is secured to each opposing arm. A central pin extends from a vertical member that provides vertical support for the firehose winding apparatus and provides an axis of rotation about which the opposing arms and central hub member rotate.

A firehose winding apparatus, comprising:
- a support member;
- a central hub member rotatably attached to the support member on an axis of rotation;
- first and second opposing arms each attached to the central hub member at a first end thereof and having a flanged member at a second end thereof;
- a third arm coupled to the central hub member at a first end thereof and pivotable from a first position against the first arm and a second position perpendicular to the first and second arms, and having a flanged member at a second end thereof;
- a fourth arm coupled to the central hub member at a first end thereof and pivotable from a first position against the second arm and a second position opposite the second position of the third arm and perpendicular to the first and second arms, and having a flanged member at a second end thereof;
- the central hub including a first locking pin hole positioned to be aligned with a locking pin hole in the third arm when it is positioned against the first arm and a second locking pin hole positioned to be aligned with the locking pin hole of the third arm when it is positioned perpendicular to the first and second arms;
- and
- the central hub including a third locking pin hole positioned to be aligned with a locking pin hole in the fourth arm when it is positioned against the second arm and a fourth locking pin hole positioned to be aligned with the locking pin hole of the third arm when it is positioned perpendicular to the first and second arms.
