Patent ID: 8720811

Claim:
A method for storing, rotating and feeding a high pressure hose, comprising: rotating, using at least one actuator for an apparatus, a first drum for the apparatus in a first rotational direction to coil the high pressure hose and a cable in a helical groove for the first drum; rotating, using the at least one actuator, a second drum for the apparatus in a second rotational direction, opposite the first rotational direction, to uncoil the cable from the second drum; compressively engaging the hose, the cable, and the helical groove, wherein the cable presses the hose radially inward to retain the hose in the groove; rotating, using the at least one actuator, the first drum in the second rotational direction to uncoil the high pressure hose and the cable from the helical groove and displace the high pressure hose from the first drum; and, rotating, using the at least one actuator, the second drum in the first rotational direction to coil the cable about the second drum.
