Abstract
The invention relates to a mounting assembly for retaining a length of flexible tubing in ready communication with a source of liquid. The assembly provides for the use of a reel portion which retains the flexible tubing and a mounting portion which supports the wheel portion above the ground. The reel portion is rotationally detachably connected to a tubing which, in turn, is fluidly connected to either an underground source or to a conventional municipal water supply.
Claims22
A mounting assembly for flexible tubing, comprising:
- A reel portion comprising a pair of substantially parallel plates defining a circular space therebetween, said plates being retained in a spaced-apart relationship by a plurality of removable spacer bars adapted for retaining a discreet length of said flexible tubing wrapped about said spacer bars;
- and
- means for fluidly connecting said flexible tubing to a source of liquid, comprising a first conduit extending transversely between said plates, a second conduit extending below said plates in a parallel relationship to said first conduit, a connecting member extending transversely between the first conduit and the second conduit along an exterior of one of said plates, and an elongated support member secured to the second conduit below said circular space in parallel relationship to the connecting member, said support member being adapted for detachable rotational connection to a source of fluid.

- and
- means for fluidly connecting said flexible tubing to a source of liquid, said connecting means comprising a means for controlling a liquid flow mounted downstream of said support member in fluid communication with said support member.
