Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are based on the idea of providing a device for handling a hose and a fuel dispensing unit having such a device. This is basically achieved by an elastic element that is adapted to extend within a frame element and to be guided by a guiding element, and by a hose guiding member which is movable away from said frame element allowing said hose to be pulled from an idle position to an operating position when said elastic element is extended.
Claims24
A device for handling a hose, said device comprising:
- a frame element, said frame element being hollow and including
- a guiding element,
- a hose guiding member arranged outside of said frame element and adapted to guide a hose, and
- an elastic element which is attached to a fixed point in relation to said frame element at one end and to said hose guiding member at the other end,
- wherein the elastic element has a first portion extending vertically within the frame and a second portion extending horizontally within the frame, and the elastic element is guided by said guiding element, and the hose guiding member is movable away from said frame element allowing a hose extending through the hose guiding member to be pulled from an idle position to an operating position when said elastic element is extended.
A device for handling a hose, comprising:
- a hollow frame having a horizontally extending support and first and second vertically extending side parts;
- a hose guide movably coupled to the frame and configured to support a hose;
- and
- an elastic element extending through at least one of the first and second side parts and extending through the support, the elastic element having a first end coupled to the frame at a fixed point and a second end extending from the frame and coupled to the hose guide such that the elastic element allows movement of the hose guide away from the frame allowing a hose support by the hose guide to be pulled from an idle position to an operating position.
A device for handling a hose, comprising:
- a hollow frame;
- a hose guide movably coupled to the frame and configured to support a hose;
- and
- an elastic element extending through the frame, the elastic element having a first end directly mated to the frame at a fixed point and having a second end extending from the frame and coupled to the hose guide such that the elastic element allows movement of the hose guide away from the frame allowing a hose support by the hose guide to be pulled from an idle position to an operating position, and the elastic element including a first portion extending vertically and a second portion extending horizontally.
