Hose guiding device

In an environment which includes a utility hose having a first end connected to a powering source and a second end connected to a tool, a hose guiding device for use with the hose comprising a hanger for securing the device to an object and means for guiding the hose that is rotatingly supported by the hanger,

• said hanger has a formed rigid elongated wire having a first section, a second section, and a middle section disposed between the first section and the second section,
• said first section having a first upright linear length of wire connected to a first vertical linear length by a first turned section,
• said middle section having a second turned section extending from the vertical linear length of the first section, a second upright linear length, a third turned section, a second vertical linear length, and a fourth turned section,
• said second upright linear length is disposed between the second turned section and the third turned section, and the second vertical linear length is disposed between the third turned section and the fourth turned section,
• said second section having a third upright linear length of wire extending from the fourth turned section of the middle section, a third vertical linear length, and a fifth turned section, and
• said third upright linear length connected to the third vertical linear length by the fifth turned section;
• and
• said means for guiding having an elongated passageway with a forward end and a rear end that allows the hose to be pulled forward through the passageway toward the front end and said means for guiding impedes reverse movement of the hose,
• said passageway disposed at a lower end, an eyelet disposed at an upper end, and an elongated shank disposed between the elongated passageway and the eyelet,
• said eyelet being pivotally supported by the middle section of the hanger,
• said passageway has a minimum transverse dimension that is larger than the outside diameter of the hose and said passageway is defined by a spiral configuration,
• said forward end of the passageway is disposed at a height lower than the rear end of the passageway when the object to which the device is secured is moving in a forward direction,
• said passageway has a centerline that is transverse to the elongated shank, the eyelet lies in a first plane that is parallel to the centerline of the elongated passageway, and the eyelet is supported by one of the second turned section and the third turned section to allow the hose to be pulled forward through the passageway in a first direction, and the eyelet is supported by the other of the second turned section and the third turned section to allow the hose to be pulled forward through the passageway in a second direction, said first direction being generally opposite the second direction,
• whereby, a section of the hose that is disposed in the passageway as the forward end of the passageway is lower than the rear end of the passageway is impeded by the passageway from reverse movement.
