Air hose holder

An air hose holding device, particularly adapted to hold various types and sizes of hoses, comprising:

• a bracket;
• said bracket having a planar base, said base being rectangular in shape;
• said bracket having a planar support, said support being rectangular in shape and extending at an angle .alpha. from said base;
• a plurality of nail holes distributed in said base;
• said support having an upper and a lower aperture;
• said lower aperture is rounded and polished to a smooth finish to reduce friction caused by the air hose being pulled though said lower aperture;
• a planar adjustable slip latch mounted parallel to and along said support through said upper aperture;
• said slip latch having a longitudinal oval aperture centrally located within said slip latch;
• said slip latch being held in place with a lock nut that passes through said slip latch and through said upper aperture;
• said slip latch having a half-circle shape cut into it at its end nearest said lower aperture;
• such that said half-circle shape changes said aperture size by completing said aperture's circular shape;
• and
• said half-circle shape is rounded and polished to a smooth finish to reduce friction caused by the air hose being pulled through said slip latch.

A kit for holding air hoses, particularly adapted to hold various types and sizes of hoses securely on a mounting surface, comprising:

• a bracket;
• said bracket having base;
• said bracket having a support extending at an angle .alpha. from said base;
• a plurality of nail holes distributed in said base;
• a plurality of nails, which when inserted in said nail holes, secure said base to said mounting surface;
• said support having an upper and a lower aperture;
• said lower aperture having a circular shape and a circumference;
• said lower aperture having friction reducing means about said circumference;
• an air hose having a tubular shape and a cross-sectional circumference less than said lower aperture circumference;
• said air hose, having a proximal end, which when inserted in said lower aperture, said air hose may move freely through said lower aperture;
• an adjustable slip latch, which when movably mounted through said upper aperture on said support may adjust said lower aperture size and may hold said air hose in said lower aperture at a fixed position;
• and
• a nail gun for connection with said proximal end of said air hose after said air hose is inserted in said lower aperture.
