ABSTRACT:
A hose winding method and device for use in connection with collapsible hose, such as fire hose. A self-supporting, stand-alone support structure is provided with an elongated crankshaft extending the width thereof. One end of the crankshaft includes a yoke for receipt of a hose couple, and the other end of the crankshaft includes a handle for turning the yoke such that the hose is wound about the yoke. A hose guide is provided upstream of the yoke and includes a stationary hose engagement portion which frictionally engages the hose to force water out of the hose and also to flatten the hose. The hose winder configuration allows for hoses to be wound at a variety of locations and on a variety of terrains.
