Abstract
A device wherein a flat hose can be rolled up around two arms. The device consists of two U-Shaped rollers that correct the orientation of the hose as it is rolled into the two arms. As the two arms are rotated by the user rotating a crank handle, the hose travels over the two U-shaped rollers and over the drum. The hose is released by the device by laying it on the ground and stepping onto a handle, the hose is released with an orifice in the centre allowing someone to easily carry it.
