ABSTRACT:
An hose winding apparatus for winding fire hoses. The apparatus has a base member and an upwardly extending vertical support structure. An horizontal support structure extends frontwardly from the vertical support structure. A manual reel having a crank handle is provided for winding the hose. The reel is positioned on the distal end of the horizontal support structure. A pair of squeezing rollers are mounted on the vertical support structure. The squeezing rollers are adapted to squeeze the hose into a flat configuration as it is being wound on the reel. A foot operated mechanism allows the user to temporarily separate the squeezing rollers so as to allow passage of the coupling components at both ends of the hose. A stopper plate is pivotally mounted underneath the horizontal support structure. The stopper plate is adapted to prevent the coupling components from swinging freely and from injuring the user. An abutment plate extends rearwardly from the vertical support structure. A pair of guiding rollers are mounted on the abutment plate. The guiding rollers are movable relatively to one another so as to allow adjustment to hoses having various diameters.
