Abstract

A hose winder includes a frame, and a hose guiding device which is prefabricated and disposed in a chamber of the frame. The hose guiding device includes a first roller mounted on a first shaft, and a second roller mounted on a second shaft. The first shaft is slidably disposed in a first inclined track. The second shaft is slidably disposed in a second inclined track. The distance between two corresponding points of the two inclined tracks is variable, thereby enabling hoses of various specifications to be reeled out and reeled in between the first roller and the second roller.

Claims2

Dependent claims

A hose winder comprising:

a frame provided in an interior with a chamber;
and
a hose guiding device disposed in said chamber of said frame and comprised of a housing, a first roller, and a second roller, said housing comprised of an opening via which a hose is reeled in and reeled out, said first roller being mounted on a first shaft located in said housing, said second roller being mounted on a second shaft located in said housing such that said second roller is opposite in location to said first roller, and such that said second roller is separated from said first roller by a gap corresponding in location to said opening of said housing, said first roller and said second roller serving to exert pressure on the hose which runs through the gap at such time when the hose is being reeled in;
wherein said first shaft is slidably disposed in a first inclined track of a length such that said first shaft slides between a first inner end and a first outer end of said first inclined track, with said first outer end being located in proximity of said opening of said housing;
wherein said second shaft is slidably disposed in a second inclined track corresponding in length to said first inclined track, said second shaft sliding between a second inner end and a second outer end of said second inclined track, with said second outer end being located in proximity of said opening of said housing whereby said second outer end of said second inclined track is separated from said first outer end of said first inclined track by a distance greater than a distance separating said second inner end of said second inclined track from said first inner end of said first inclined track;
and wherein said first roller and said second roller exert pressure on the hose at such time when said first shaft and said second shaft are respectively located at said first inner end of said first inclined track and said second inner end of staid second inclined track.
