Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a hose take-up reel, and more particularly to a sprinkler hose take-up reel equipped with a sprinkler nozzle or the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A hose take-up reel for winding a watering hose is composed of a frame and a drum. Conventional hose take-up reels are provided on both left and right sides of a drum 16 as shown in FIG. A frame 19 having bearing portions 17 and 18 for supporting the shaft portion is separately formed on the left and right sides, and the left and right frame members 20 and 21 are connected by screws 22 or are fixedly connected by adhesion.

[0003]

In the conventional hose take-up reel described above, the frame supporting the drum exists as left and right independent parts, and steps such as screwing and bonding are performed to connect them, There is a problem in that the work of assembling the drum on the frame is troublesome, and since the frames are independent from each other on the left and right, the strength (rigidity) of the frame is uncertain even if they are connected by screwing or bonding.

The present invention has been made in view of the problems of the above-mentioned conventional techniques, and the object thereof is a hose take-up reel which is rich in assembling productivity and can increase the strength of the frame. To provide.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the technical means taken by the present invention is to integrally form left and right frame parts having bearing parts for supporting the left and right shaft parts of a drum. , The frame part is formed upright on the pedestal part having an opening through which the drum can be taken in and out,
A drum is rotatably attached to such a frame.

The drum mounted on the frame is
A water supply hose connection part to which a water supply hose connected to a water tap is connected, and a connection part to which a proximal end side of a water sprinkling hose wound on a drum is connected, respectively. In addition, examples of means for forming the frame integral structure include injection molding.

[0007]

According to the above-mentioned means, the left and right frame portions for supporting the drum are integrally formed on the pedestal portion having a substantially rectangular shape in plan view, so that the rigidity of the frame is increased and the frame is increased. On the other hand, the drum can be installed very easily through the opening of the pedestal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A preferred embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. The hose take-up reel A is composed of a frame B and a drum C, and the frame B and the drum C are each made of a synthetic resin material. There is.

The frame B is a pedestal portion 1 having a substantially rectangular plane shape.
And a front gate type drum support frame 2 having left and right bearing portions for supporting the shaft portion of the drum C. The pedestal portion 1 has a substantially rectangular opening in which the drum C can be taken in and out. The portion 3 is opened, and the drum support frame 2 is formed upright on the upper surface of the pedestal portion 1 so as to straddle the opening 3. Reinforcing ribs are formed on the pedestal portion 1 and the drum support frame 2 to increase the strength of the frame B.

Circular holes are formed as bearing portions 4 and 5 on the right and left upright sides 2a and 2b of the drum support frame 2 of the frame B, and the bearing portions 4 of the upright side 2a are fixed to one side of the drum C. The bracket 6 thus fitted is fitted and supported, and the drum guide 7 is fitted and fixed to the bearing portion 5 of the standing side portion 2b so as to rotatably support the other side portion of the drum C.

When a plurality of ridges 8 are formed on the upper surface of the side of the pedestal 1 of the frame B other than the side where the drum support frame 2 is erected, and the pedestal 1 is stepped on with a foot. The anti-slip effect of is effectively exhibited.

The drum C is composed of a cylindrical body portion 9 around which a watering hose is wound, and a disk-shaped collar portion 10 formed on both left and right sides of the body portion 9 so as to project in the radial direction. On the outer peripheral surface of 9, there is formed a spiral groove 11 into which a sprinkler hose is fitted to start a beautiful winding. Further, an elbow 12 is built in one side of the body portion 9 of the drum C, and one of the elbows 12 is projected toward the drum guide 7 side along the axis of the drum, and the nipple 13 for connecting the water supply hose is relatively there. On the outer peripheral surface side of the body portion 9, and a connection nipple 14 for a water sprinkling hose is attached to the side portion via a seal member so as to be swingable.

Further, the bracket 6 is fixed to the other side of the body 9 of the drum C.
A handle arm 15 is fitted and connected to the drum so that the drum C can be rotated by operating the handle.

With the above structure, the drum C is assembled to the frame B by inserting the drum C from the opening 3 formed in the pedestal 1 of the frame B, and then the drum C.
The bracket 6 fixed to the drum support frame 2
2a is inserted into the bearing portion 4 and the side of the drum C opposite to the bracket 6 is fitted to the upright side portion 2b from the outside.
This is completed by rotatably supporting the drum guide 7 fixed to the screw 2b with screws.

The upper side portion 2c of the drum support frame 2 of the frame B holds down the pedestal so that the hose take-up reel A may be carried while being carried, or that the frame may not wobble when winding the hose. It can also be used to prevent backlash.

[0016]

In the hose take-up reel of the present invention, the opening for mounting the drum is opened in the pedestal portion having a substantially rectangular plane shape, and the front gate-shaped drum support frame is provided on the upper surface of the opening for straddling the opening. Since the drum is erected in the same body and the drum is rotatably attached to the drum support frame, the rigidity of the frame is significantly increased compared to the rigidity of the conventional frame composed of multiple members. A very robust hose take-up reel can be constructed.

Since the pedestal portion of the frame is provided with an opening for mounting the drum, the drum can be assembled only by inserting it through the opening and supporting it, and the assembling productivity can be improved. At the same time, since the frame is one component of the integrated structure, the number of constituent components is smaller than that of the conventional product, and as a result, a hose take-up reel that can contribute to cost reduction can be provided.
