Hose Lubricating Assembly

A hose lubricating assembly being configured to be inserted between a hose and a stem thereby facilitating a lubricant to be distributed between the hose and stem for removing the hose from the stem, said assembly comprising:

• a handle being configured to be gripped, said handle having an interior space therein, said interior space having a bounding surface, said handle having a first end, a second end and an outer surface extending therebetween, said outer surface being continuous such that said handle has a cylindrical shape, said first end being open into said interior space, said second end having a channel extending toward said first and intersecting said interior space such that said channel is in fluid communication with said interior space, said channel having a outer bounding surface, said outer bounding surface having a first detent extending outwardly toward said outer surface of said handle, said first detent being positioned between said interior space and said second end, said outer bounding surface having a second detent extending outwardly toward said outer surface of said handle, said second detent being positioned between said second end and said first detent;
• a reservoir being positioned in said interior space wherein said reservoir is configured to contain a fluid lubricant, said reservoir having a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said outer wall having an outside surface and an inside surface, said outside surface of said reservoir engaging said bounding surface of said interior space having said first end of said reservoir being aligned with said first end of said handle, said inside surface having a threaded portion, said threaded portion extending from said first end of said reservoir toward said second end of said reservoir;
• a first sleeve being coupled to and extending away from said second end of said reservoir, said first sleeve being aligned with said channel in said handle, said first sleeve having a distal end with respect to said reservoir;
• a second sleeve having a primary end, a secondary end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said outer wall of said second sleeve having an interior surface and an exterior surface, said exterior surface having a first ridge extending outwardly therefrom, said first ridge being positioned between said primary end and said secondary end, said exterior surface having a second ridge extending outwardly therefrom, said second ridge being aligned with said secondary end of said second sleeve, said interior surface having a third ridge extending inwardly toward a center of said second sleeve, said third ridge being aligned with said first ridge, said interior surface having a fourth ridge extending inwardly toward said center of said second sleeve, said fourth ridge being aligned with said second ridge, said second sleeve being positioned within said channel having said distal end of said first sleeve insertably receiving said primary end of said second sleeve, said first ridge engaging said first detent, said second ridge engaging said second detent such that said second sleeve is retained within said channel;
• a tube being coupled to said handle such that said tube is in fluid communication with said reservoir wherein said tube is configured to receive the fluid lubricant, said tube having a distal end with respect to said handle, said distal end being configured to be selectively inserted between a hose and a stem having the hose being coupled thereto thereby facilitating the fluid lubricant to be released between the hose and the stem for removing the hose from the stem, said tube having a pair of bends thereon, said bends being spaced apart from each other and being distributed from said distal end toward said handle to define a central portion of said tube forming an angle with a first portion of said tube and a second portion of said tube, said first portion of said tube engaging said outer bounding surface of said channel having said tube extending away from said second end of said handle, said second portion of said tube being configured to be selectively inserted between the hose and the stem;
• a plunger unit being movably coupled to said handle wherein said plunger unit is configured to be manipulated, said plunger unit being in fluid communication with said reservoir wherein said plunger unit is configured to selectively urge the fluid lubricant outwardly through said tube said plunger unit comprising:
• a cap having a first wall and a perimeter wall extending away from said first wall, said perimeter wall being continuous such that said perimeter wall forms a closed loop, said perimeter wall having an outside surface, said outside surface of said perimeter wall threadably engaging said threaded portion on said outer wall of said reservoir to releasbly retain said cap on said handle,
• a knob being rotatably coupled to said first wall of said cap wherein said knob is configured to be manipulated, said knob being selectively rotated in a first direction, said knob being selectively rotated in a second direction,
• a screw being coupled to and extending away from said knob, said screw extending through said first wall of said cap such that said screw extends into said reservoir, and
• a disk having a peripheral edge, said screw extending through said disk such that said disk threadably engages said screw, said peripheral edge of said disk engaging said inside surface of said reservoir, said peripheral edge forming a fluid impermeable seal with said inside surface of said reservoir, said disk being urged toward said second end of said reservoir when said knob is rotated in said first direction wherein said disk is configured to urge the fluid lubricant outwardly from said reservoir, said disk being urged toward said first end of said reservoir when said knob is rotated in said second direction;
• and
• a valve being movably positioned within said handle, said valve being in fluid communication with said reservoir, said valve being selectively positioned in a closed position wherein said valve is configured to inhibit the fluid lubricant from exiting said reservoir, said valve being selectively positioned in an open position wherein said valve is configured to facilitate the fluid lubricant to exit said reservoir, said valve comprising:
• a ball being slidably positioned in said second sleeve, said ball being positioned between said third ridge and said fourth ridge, said ball engaging said third ridge and forming a fluid impermeable seal with said third ridge when said valve is in said closed position wherein said ball is configured to inhibit the fluid lubricant from passing beyond said ball, said ball being spaced from said third ridge when said valve is in said open position wherein said ball is configured to allow the fluid lubricant to pass beyond said ball, and
• a biasing member being positioned in said second sleeve, said biasing member being positioned between said fourth ridge and said ball, said biasing member biasing said ball to engage said third ridge, said ball compressing said biasing member toward said fourth ridge when said knob is rotated in said first direction.
