Abstract
A hose hanger device for use in combination with a water timer comprises a housing defining a hose support surface for supporting a hose coiled thereon, and a receptacle sized to receive the base assembly of the water timer therein with receptacle openings corresponding to the inlet and outlet of the base assembly. An opening is defined in the front face of the housing to permit passage of the base assembly therethrough for placement within the receptacle. The receptacle is configured to support the base assembly so that an input and display module may be removably mounted on the base assembly with the module substantially flush with the front face of the housing. The receptacle supports the base assembly with its outlet fitting accessible for engaging a water hose. An angled water conduit situated within the housing is coupled between the inlet fitting of the base assembly and a conduit segment connected to a hose bib.
