Abstract:
1. A device for winding and unwinding elongated flexible material such as hoses and cables, comprising an elongated carrier having wheels mounted thereon to enable wheeled transport of the carrier; an elongated frame detachably and rotatably mounted on the carrier; a winding and suspension assembly in the form of at least two guides mounted in longitudinally spaced relationship on the frame; each guide comprising a convex curved bottom side extending outwardly from and transversely of the frame length, so that the convex curvatures of the bottom sides of the guides face away from each other and towards opposite ends of the frame, and at least one retaining partition element disposed in adjoining relationship with each convex curved bottom side of each guide, each retaining partition element extending perpendicular to the convex curved bottom side of a respective guide so that each guide has at least one retaining partition element associated therewith that forms a retainer for a material wound about the convex curved bottom sides of the guides; said frame mounted to the carrier for rotation about an axis extending transversely to the carrier length and located between the convex bottom sides of the guides.
