page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Samuel Lilley Coales, of Newport Pagnell, in.
the County of Bucks, for the Invention of "IMPROVED MEANS OR
Apparatus for SECURING HOSE PIPES IN COILS, AND FOR FACILITATING THE
UNCOILING AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE SAme when ReQUIRED FOR USE.”
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Samuel Lilley Coales
at the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 28th January 1875.
I, SAMUEL LILLEY COALES, of Newport Pagnell, in the County of
Bucks, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for "IMPROVED
MEANS OR APPARATUS FOR SECURING HOSE PIPES IN COILS, AND FOR FACILITATING
THE UNCOILING AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE SAME WHEN REQUIRED FOR USE," to be
as follows:-
This Invention has for its object the means of providing an inexpensive
but effectual method of securing and of uncoiling detached lengths of.
hose pipe with great facility.

page_text: therewith. For this purpose in carrying out my improvements the
ordinary leather strap with roller buckles attached to a coil of hose pipe
and used for keeping its folds in position is so constructed as to form a
reel on which to unwind it.
1
The strap is cut or formed in two parts, and to one end of each the
strap of a metal hinge or joint is attached, each of which joints are
connected with and arranged to revolve on the projecting lugs of one of
the couplings. These joints when extended form the handles of the reel,
and when folded allow the coil of hose to be secured as with an ordinary
strap.
The combination of the strap with the reel in accordance with these
improvements enables coils of hose pipe to be carried about and made
use of with greater facility than heretofore. This arrangement also
enables one of the two wrenches ordinarily used for connecting the
couplings of hose pipes to be dispensed with, thus serving as a hose
wrench. It also affords an effectual means of directing the branch or jet
pipe at the end of the hose in an effectual manner.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,

filed by the said Samuel Lilley Coales in the Great Seal Patent
Office on the 28th July 1875.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, SAMUEL,
LILLEY COALES, of Newport Pagnell, in the County of Bucks, send
greeting.

and Ireland, the Channel Islands, and Isle of Man, 'an Invention for "IM-
PROVED MEANS. OR APPARATUS FOR SECURING HOSE PIPES IN COILS, AND FOR
FACILITATING THE UNCOILING AND EMPLOYMENT OF THE SAME. WHEN REQUIRED FOR
USE," upon the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Samuel Lilley

under my, or their, or one of their hands and seals, should particularly.
describe and ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what
manner the same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed
in the Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and
immediately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Samuel Lilley Coales, do hereby.
declare the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner, the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement thereof, that is to say
-
This Invention has for its object the means of providing an inexpensive
but effectual method of securing, and of uncoiling detached lengths of
hose pipe with great facility.
. These improvements can be readily applied to the coupling of hose-
already in use, or the couplings can be constructed in accordance
therewith. For this purpose in carrying out my improvements the
ordinary leather strap with roller buckle is attached to a coil of hose pipe
and used for keeping its folds in position, being so constructed as to form-
a recl on which to unwind it as represented in the Drawing hereunto
annexed.
The leather strap a is cut or formed in two parts, and to one end of
cach the strap or arm b¹ of a metal hinge or joint 6 is attached, cach of
which joints are connected with and arranged to revolve on the
projecting lugs c', c', of one of the couplings c. The joints when
extended form the handles of the reel d, and when folded allow the coil
of hose to be secured as with an ordinary strap.
c¹,
The combination of the strap a with the reel d, in accordance with
these improvements, enables coils of hose pipe to be carried about and
made use of with greater facility than heretofore. This arrangement
also enables one of the two wrenches ordinarily used for connecting the
couplings of hose pipes to be dispensed with, the arms 6' thus serving as

a hose wrench. It also affords an effectual means of directing the
branch or jet pipe at the end of the hose in an effectual manner.
Having thus described the nature of my Invention and the manner of
performing or carrying the same into practice, I would have it under-.
stood that I do not intend to limit myself to the exact details herein-
before described and represented in the Drawing hereunto annexed, so
long as the true character of my Invention is retained, but what I claim
is,-
-
The improved arrangement of apparatus and means employed for
securing hose pipes in coils, so as to facilitate the uncoiling and employ.
ment thereof when required for use, substantially in the manner and for
the purpose lierein-before described and represented in the Drawing
hereunto annexed.
In witness whereof, I, the said Samuel Lilley Coales have here-
unto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-third day of July, in
the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-
five.
