Abstract
A hose hanger apparatus includes a hose supporting body and a hose retainer. The hose supporting body has mounting structure to enable the hose supporting body to be mounted to a wall in an operative position in which a hose supporting surface faces generally upwardly and extends outwardly from the wall. The hose retainer is movable between retaining and releasing positions. In its retaining position, the hose retainer extends upwardly adjacent the hose supporting surface in spaced relation from the wall to inhibit the upper portion of the coiled hose from moving off the hose supporting surface without first raising the hose to a height sufficient to vertically clear the hose retainer. In its releasing position, the hose can be removed from or mounted onto the hose supporting surface without the need for first raising the hose to a height sufficient to vertically clear the hose retainer.
