Hose reel accumulator drum

A hose and reel system for dispensing a fluid, comprising

• a housing having
• a base portion,
• a first side panel coupled to the base portion and having an inner surface and an outer surface and an opposed second side panel coupled to the base portion and having an inner surface and an outer surface,
• a top portion positioned to span between and to couple to the first and second side panels, and
• a guide element disposed at a front portion of the housing and positioned so as to span between and be coupled to the first and second side panels, wherein the guide element is spaced apart from the base portion so as to guide a hose element when coupled to the system,
• a reel assembly rotatably mounted within the housing for winding the hose element thereabout, the reel assembly having
• an accumulator drum having a main body having an outer surface that defines an inner chamber for receiving and accumulating the fluid, the main body of the accumulator drum having a first end having a first surface feature formed thereon and a second opposed end having a second surface feature formed thereon, and wherein the main body has a channel formed in an outer surface thereof and includes a fluid port that is fluidly coupled to the inner chamber,
• a first disc element coupled to the first end of the accumulator drum and a second disc element coupled to the second end of the accumulator drum, wherein the first disc element has a first surface feature associated therewith that is complementary in shape to and is configured to couple with the first surface feature of the accumulator drum and wherein the second disc element has a second surface feature associated therewith that is complementary in shape to and is configured to couple with the second surface feature of the accumulator drum.
