Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a winding device for a pipe body (hereinafter referred to as a rubber pipe) made of rubber or a material having rubber elasticity, such as a gas hose, water hose, air supply hose, etc. More specifically, the present invention improves the drawbacks of conventional rotating frame type devices such as electrical cord and water hose winding devices, and particularly relates to an optimal structure as a gas rubber tube winding device.

In most cases, various gas appliances are equipped with a rubber tube that is long enough to reach the gas main valve from the usual installation location. However, the location where gas appliances are used is not always the same; for example, when using them outdoors or in a different room than usual, there is a need to install a A rubber tube longer than the rubber tube may be required. Conventionally, in order to deal with such a serious situation, the rubber tube has been replaced, which takes time and effort. In addition, in order to eliminate the trouble of replacing the rubber tube, it is possible to make the rubber tube sufficiently long, but in this case, the rubber tube that is longer than necessary may meander, making it easy to get caught, or creating an aesthetic problem. In addition to disadvantages such as damage to rubber tubes, it takes a lot of effort to wind and bundle unnecessarily long rubber tubes when storing them, and the rolled or bundled rubber tubes become bulky. .

In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the patentee of the present patent has developed a rubber tube winding device that winds the rubber island onto a reel so that the side of the rubber tube on which the connector for connecting to the external rubber tube is attached can be pulled out. P1 was filed (patent application 1982-208).
(See July 2017).

However, in this case, since the take-up reel is located near the gas main valve, the connection tool may get caught while operating the reel to take out a thousand strips. This may make it impossible to continue, or the connector may be damaged by a strong blow.

This invention can be applied to a gas valve, etc.
It can simply supply gas, etc., and is low bulky when not in use.
