Abstract
A hose reel includes a reel member rotatably mounted on a horizontal portion of an upstanding tube. The upstanding tube extends vertically from the horizontal portion and thence diagonally, to a lower vertical portion aligned generally under the center of the reel member. The lower end of the upstanding tube is rotatably mounted to one end of a support arm so that the reel and upstanding tube member combination will rotate around a vertical axis. The support arm extends a distance permitting complete rotation of the reel and upstanding tube, and has a short depending arm which is slidably mounted within a tubular support. A flexible hose is inserted through the upstanding tube, and has a swivel valve connected to the lower end thereof and a second swivel valve connected to the upper end thereof, to supply fluid to a hose on the reel while permitting full rotation of the reel member as well as rotation of the upstanding tube on the support arm. A generally U-shaped rod member extends parallel to the reel hub and has its legs rotatably connected to the horizontal portion of the upstanding tube so as to rotate around the longitudinal axis of the hub, to act as a hose guide.
