Abstract
A hose reel includes a reel member rotatably mounted on a horizontal portion of an upsanding 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.
