ABSTRACT:
A hose reel mechanism designed for carrying two separate, yet interconnected, lengths of hose includes a tubular metal frame which is provided with support wheels, a supporting base portion and a handle portion. Carried by this frame are two substantially identical hose reels, each of which are supported by an axle, the ends of each axle being secured by the sides of the frame. Each reel is designed to receive a length of hose wherein the hose disposed on the lower reel connects to the faucet and the hose on the upper reel is used for watering at a remote-use location. As the frame is moved away from the faucet, the hose wound on the lower reel is able to unwind automatically and once the frame is positioned at the desired location, the length of hose on the upper reel may be pulled at its free end for unwinding that hose from the top reel. When the watering activity is finished, the length of hose on the upper reel may be rewound onto that reel manually or alternatively by a spring-loaded mechanism, and the length of hose on the lower reel rewinds automatically as the frame is pushed back toward the faucet due to the driving action of the wheels and a belt and pulley arrangement which connects the wheel axle to the axle of rotation of the lower reel.
