Very lightweight high-pressure compact cleaning device for marine and outdoor use

A lightweight high-pressure helical hose kit, comprising:

• a flexible substantially helical tube having a distal end and a proximal end, further comprising:
• a high pressure wall having a narrow diameter channel and a minimum pressure rating of approximately 150 PSI;
• the helical tube has a retracted position in which it flexes to individual helical rings which rest substantially adjacent one another and an extended position in which the helical rings are extended such that the helical tube has an extended reach;
• and
• the helical tube flexes toward the retracted position when released;
• a first high pressure fitting attached to the distal end of the helical tube and a second high pressure fitting attached to the proximal end of the helical tube:
• fitting attachment means to attach the first high pressure fitting to the distal end of the helical tube and the second high pressure fitting to the proximal end of the helical tube;
• and
• the first and second high pressure fittings have a minimum pressure rating of approximately 150 PSI, and are fabricated from virgin Nylon;
• whereby the lightweight high-pressure helical hose kit can be stored in a small storage area when in the retracted position and the distal end can extend a substantial distance from the proximal end when in the extended position.

A lightweight high-pressure helical hose kit, comprising:

• a flexible substantially helical tube having a distal end and a proximal end, further comprising:
• a high pressure wall having a narrow diameter channel and a minimum pressure rating of approximately 200 PSI;
• the helical tube has a retracted position in which it flexes to individual helical rings which rest substantially adjacent one another and an extended position in which the helical rings are extended such that the helical tube has an extended reach;
• the helical tube flexes toward the retracted position when released:
• and
• the helical tube has a minimum extended to retracted ratio of approximately 25:1;
• a first high pressure fitting attached to the distal end of the helical tube and a second high pressure fitting attached to the proximal end of the helical tube;
• fitting attachment means to attach the first high pressure fitting to the distal end of the helical tube and the second high pressure fitting to the proximal end of the helical tube;
• and
• the first and second high pressure fittings have a minimum pressure rating of approximately 150 PSI;
• whereby, the lightweight high-pressure helical hose kit can be stored in a small storage area when in the retracted position and the distal end can extend a substantial distance from the proximal end when in the extended position.

A method of fabricating a lightweight self retracting high-pressure helical hose kit, including the steps of:

• using a high pressure pneumatic tube having a pressure rating of approximately 200 PSI as a conduit for water;
• sizing the inside diameter of the pneumatic tube such that the amount of residual water in the tube is minimized;
• using a helical structure for the pneumatic tube such that the pneumatic tube has a retracted position in which it flexes to individual helical rings which rest substantially adjacent one another and an extended position in which the helical rings are extended such that the pneumatic tube has an extended reach, the pneumatic tube having a minimum extended to retracted length ration of approximately 25:1;
• and
• attaching a first high pressure fitting to the distal end of the pneumatic tube and a second high pressure fitting attached to the proximal end of the pneumatic tube;
• whereby, the lightweight high-pressure helical hose kit can be stored in a small storage area when in the retracted position and the distal end can extend a substantial distance from the proximal end when in the extended position.
