Hose Reels.
JOSEPH GOULDEN 71 Beswick Street Ancoats Manchester, Dealer in Farm
Produce do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
This invention consists in certain novel constructions and combination of parts
substantially as hereinafter described.
Figure 1 in accompanying drawing represents a hose reel embodying this inven-
tion. Figure 2 represents the reel with brace F, and handle E, both resting on the
ground, as when in the act of reeling up the hose.
A A, indicate the two supporting circular sections or sides, each composed of a
single piece of pipe such as a gas pipe bent into circular form and connected by
pins or rivets bb, passing through them and through a filling block.
B B, are the angular sections or arms uniting the two circular sections or
sides A A, the same being made or cast in malleable iron or formed of a small pipe
or rod bent to form a straight body portion and opposite angular end portions one of
the said arms being provided on the inner face of one of its ends with a cleat C,
to receive the end of the hose.
The nave of the reel is formed by cast malleable or bent wrought iron
brackets D D, constituting figures of an approximately hexagonal shape and
arranged to cross at the axis of the reel, each bracket D, is united where its
adjacent sides join each other, to the body portions of the arms B, where they
cross at the axis of the reel they are fitted to turn on the axle S, which is secured
at its ends to the elbows d. E, is the handle of the reel which is free to swing or
turn over about axle or axis of the reel outside of both circular sections A A, and
is connected at its inner ends as by elbow couplings d, with a bent foot brace F,
constructed to receive the circular sections A A within it, and arranged to occupy an
approximately right angled position relatively to the handle, this brace F, rests on
the ground on one side of the axis of the reel as shown in Fig. 1, when the reel is
not in use, in a position for readily taking hold of it.
When the hose is reeled up and fastened at the cleat C, the handle E, is turned
over about the axis which throws the brace F above the circular sections A A, and
puts the reel in condition for wheeling away.
To reel up the hose the handle E, and the brace F, are turned so that both rest
on the ground as in Fig. 2 this allows the reel to be freely rotated to reel up
the Hose.
Both the handle E, and the brace F, may be made of gas pipe.
The interior spiderlike frame composed of the arms B, and brackets D, may
when of malleable iron be cast integral.

Hose Reels.
I, JOSEPH GOULDEN Farm Produce Dealer 71 Beswick Street Manchester
Lancaster do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
This invention consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts
substantially as hereinafter described. Reference is to be had to the accompanying

page_text: drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference
indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure, 1 represents a view in perspective of a hose-reel embodying this inven-
tion, with the handle in position when not in use.
Figure, 2 is a side view showing the handle and brace in position and the reel raised
to provide for reeling up the hose.
Figure, 3 is a sectional view transversely to the axis of the reel, and upon a
larger scale of a portion of one of the supporting circular sections or sides of the
reel, and Figure 4 a detail view of the Hub portion of reel in part transversely to
the axis of the reel.
A A indicate the two supporting circular sections or sides of the reel, made,
each of a single piece of pipe-such as a gas-pipe-bent into circular form, and the
ends are united by pins or rivets b b, passing through them and through a filling
block, C.
B B are the angular arms uniting the two circular sections or sidos A A, the
same being cast in malleable iron, or formed of a small pipe or rod bent to form a
straight body portion and opposite angular end portions, and one of said arins being
provided on the inner face of one its ends with the cleat C, to receive or fasten the
end of the hose.
The hub or nave of the reel is formed of cast inalleable or bent wrought-iron
brackets D D, constituting figures of an approximately hexagonal shape and arranged
to cross at the axis of the reel. Each bracket D, is united, where its adjacent sides
join each other, to the body portions of the brackets B, as at n, and where they cross
at the axis of the reel they are fitted to turn on the axle s, which is secured at its
ends to the elbows dd, E is the handle of the reel, which is free to swing or turn.
over about the axle or axis of the reel outside of both circular sections A A, and is
connected at its inner ends, as by elbow couplings d d, with a bent foot-brace F
constructed to receive the circular sections A A within it, and arranged to occupy
an approximately right angled position relatively to the handle. This brace F rests
upon the ground on one side of the axis of reel as shown in Figure, 1, when the reel
is not in use, and serves to hold the handle E, raised or in position for readily taking
hold of it. When the hose is reeled and fastened at the cleat C, the handle E is
turned over about the axis of the reel to the opposite side of said axis, which throws
the brace F, above the circular sections A A and puts the reel in condition for
wheeling away.
To reel up the hose the handle E and the brace F are turned so that both rest upon
the ground and hoist the reel up from the ground as shown in figure 2, this allows the
reel to be freely rotated to reel up the hose.
Both the handle E and the brace F may be made of gas-pipe to maintain or
contribute to the general lightness of the reel and its facility of construction.
The interior spider-like frame composed of the arms B and the brackets D may
when of malleable iron, be cast integral.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
1st. The combination with the circular sides A A and the spider-like frame
consisting of the angular armis B B and the brackets D D, of the combined Foot-
brace and handle E F, and the axle s, substantially as shown and described.
2nd. In a hose reel, the combination of the circular pipe sides or sections A A, the
angular arms B B connecting said sides, the cleat C, the brackets D D. com-
posing the hub, the axle s, and the handle E with its attached foot-brace F, con-
structed and combined for operation about the axis of the reel and in relation with
the circular sides A A, substantially as shown and described.
