Abstract
A hose retention apparatus that has a handle and holding structure which has an interior area for holding a hose. One end of a connecting member is fixed to the handle and the other end is fixed to the holding structure such that the handle and the holding structure are spaced from each other. A passage extends through the connecting member and opens to the interior area of the holding structure. A push rod is arranged within the passage and extends from the passage into the interior area of the holding structure such that an outer end of the push rod is located within the interior area. The push rod is able to slide so as to clamp the hose between the outer end of the push rod and a remote side of the hose holding structure.
Claims16
A hose retention apparatus comprising:
- a handle and a hose holding structure having an upper side and an opposite remote side which define an interior area therebetween, and the hose holding structure being configured to receive a hose within the interior area;
- an elongate connecting member having axial first and second ends, the first end of the connecting member being fixed to the handle and the second end of the connecting member being fixed to the upper side of the hose holding structure such that the handle and the hose holding structure are spaced from each other by the connecting member;
- the connecting member defining a central passage that axially extends from adjacent the first end and through the second end of the connecting member and the upper side of the hose holding structure such that the central passage is open to the interior area of the hose holding structure;
- and
- a push rod being arranged within the central passage and extending from the central passage into the interior area of the hose holding structure such that an outer end of the push rod is located within the interior area, the push rod being slidable to releasably clamp the hose between the outer end of the push rod and the remote side of the hose holding structure.
