ABSTRACT:
A fire hose winding apparatus. The apparatus includes an elongated, horizontal frame, or extension arm, having an inner end detachably coupled to a fire truck, or other available support. A horizontal spindle extends transversely from an outer end of the frame. A hub assembly is mounted for rotation on the spindle and threadably secured thereon with a fastener knob. The hub assembly includes a centrally positioned hub and a plurality of radially extending hub arms. Hose arms are detachably and adjustably coupled to the outer ends of each hub arm. The outer extremity of each hose arm is provided with an L-shaped hose catcher bracket. The hose arms are set at a predetermined radially extending distance from the hub, to provide a support and forming frame for the fire hose. A cranking handle is detachably coupled to a selected hose arm. An end portion of the fire hose is placed over one of the catcher brackets, and the handle is rotated to wind successive layers of hose over the form provided by the brackets.
