Abstract
A frame assembly for a hose deployment/retrieval system, comprising pair of distal vertical arms and a pair of proximal vertical arms. Horizontal beams connect the distal vertical arms and the proximal vertical arms at a top and bottom portion of the vertical arms. A cross beam is fixedly coupled across the proximal vertical arms adjacent to an attachment plate coupled to a back side of the proximal vertical arms. A second cross beam is coupled to a different portion of the proximal vertical arms at a height that is adjacent a height of the top of the attachment plate.

A hose deployment and retrieval system, comprising:
- a frame assembly with a plurality of vertical arms positioned at both front and rear sides of the hose deployment and retrieval system, with a front vertical arms angled with respect to a rear vertical arms and wherein each of the angled vertical arms is positioned at an angle between 15-30 degrees with respect to a perpendicular axis;
- a plurality of horizontal arms attached to pairs of vertical arms, each pair comprising a rear perpendicular vertical arm and a front angled vertical arm;
- an attachment plate positioned at a rear side of the system and coupled to each of the rear vertical arms, the attachment plate being configured for attachment to a transport vehicle;
- a drive wheel assembly and a dynamic fluid component coupled to the frame assembly, the drive wheel assembly comprising a circular object configured to contact a hose reel and facilitate hose deployment and retrieval, the drive wheel assembly being driven by a motor.
A frame assembly for a hose deployment/retrieval system, comprising:
- a first distal vertical arm and a second distal vertical arm;
- a first proximal vertical arm and a second proximal vertical arm;
- a first horizontal arm connecting the first distal vertical arm and the first proximal vertical arm at a top portion of the first distal vertical arm and the first proximal vertical arm;
- a second horizontal arm connecting the first distal vertical arm and the first proximal vertical arm at a bottom portion of the first distal vertical arm and the first proximal vertical arm;
- a third horizontal arm connecting the second distal vertical arm and the second proximal vertical arm at a top portion of the second distal vertical arm and the second proximal vertical arm;
- a fourth horizontal arm connecting the second distal vertical arm and the second proximal vertical arm at a bottom portion of the second distal vertical arm and the second proximal vertical arm;
- a first cross beam fixedly coupled to the first proximal vertical arm and the second proximal vertical arm, wherein the first cross beam is arranged adjacent to an attachment plate of the frame assembly;
- wherein the attachment plate is coupled to a back side of the first proximal vertical arm and a back side of the second proximal vertical arm;
- and
- a second cross beam coupled to a different portion of the first proximal vertical arm and the second proximal vertical arm, wherein the second cross beam is coupled at a height along the first proximal vertical arm and the second proximal vertical arm adjacent a height of a top of the attachment plate.
