Abstract
The wall mount hose cart of the instant invention is of a shape and design allowing preassembly thereby eliminating the need for instruction manuals and associated product packaging necessary of wall mount hose reels that are sold in an unassembled state. The wall mount hose reel employs a single unitary frame for support of a flexible garden hose to be wound into a coil of multiple layers by use of a directional stress relieving hose reel spool. Reel flanges are oblong shaped for holding of the hose within the form spool yet providing the nesting ability for assembled carte. A handle is foldable for storage with locks concealed within the base of the handle and a syringe type hub attachment is further disclosed for removal and maintenance of the water seals without tools. Hub attachments are interchangeable allowing the crank to be attached to either side of the apparatus allowing left or right hand operation.
