Winding device for lay flat style hose

Abstract

The invention provides a unique winding device specifically for lay flat style hose. The winder rotates either clockwise or counter clockwise via center supporting axis shaft inserted into a universal mounting bracket. Depending on the placement or spacing of described pins into the supporting bar, plurality of spacing options allow for any connector size, style, width, type or configuration of hose to be centered and wound in any standard or custom method. The hose winder produces tightly wound circular coiled lay flat types of hose in end-to-end or center-first (referred herein as “firefighter” style) with ends exposed and adjustable for any size or style of hose connectors. The wound hose can then be simply and easily pulled from the winding device in a tightly wound coil.

1 . What I claim as my invention is a unique, simplistic utility designed for coiling and easy removal of lay flat types of hose in various lengths, widths and coupling styles and the utility of this device embodies a bar rotating on a center axis comprising a plurality of mounting holes for a pair of moveable pins to contact the hose and with different placement or spacing of said pins, with allow mounting in various application of lay flat types of hose with no regard to winding style (end-to-end or firefighter style) connector type, configuration, width or direction of wind and powered by hand, motor or any other means whatsoever.
