Claim:
1. A lightweight and stowable hose draining device adapted to be moved along a substantially horizontal surface being separate from said device, to drain flexible hoses, said device comprising: a lower frame having a first frame rail portion and a second frame rail portion being spaced therefrom and substantially parallel thereto, each said frame rail portion having a leading edge located at a first terminal end and an oppositely located trailing edge located at a second terminal end, said lower frame having a counterbalance extending transversely between said first and second rail portions and located near said leading edge, said lower frame having a handle mating portion extending beyond said trailing edge of said frame rail portions; front wheels being rotatable about a front axis and having an outer diameter adapted to contact said substantially horizontal surface, said front axis being located adjacent said counterbalance; rear wheels being rotatable about a rear axis and having an outer diameter adapted to contact said substantially horizontal surface, said rear axis being located nearer said trailing edge than said front axis; a plurality of rollers being located between said first and second frame rail portions, each of said rollers rotatable about a corresponding central axis, one of said rollers being a leading roller located at a close distance to said leading edge, another of said rollers being a trailing roller located at a close distance to said trailing edge; each said central axis aligned to form a plane being obliquely angled with respect to said substantially horizontal surface when said outer diameters of said front and rear wheels are contacting said substantially horizontal surface, said leading roller adapted to be located at a close distance to said substantially horizontal surface and said trailing roller adapted to be located at a far distance from said substantially horizontal surface; and a removable handle being fixable to said handle mating portion on said lower frame, a portion of said removable handle being obliquely angled with respect to said frame rails when said removable handle is affixed to said lower frame.
