ABSTRACT:
A portable garden hose cart for windably holding a hose and for transporting the hose between a storage location and the use location. The cart includes a frame having a pair of vertical sides each of which has a bearing. A reel is positioned between the frame sides with the reel having a pair of sides and a hose support surface extending therebetween. Each reel side has a generally horizontally extending hub rotatably received in the corresponding bearing of its associated frame side. The cart has an outlet tube carried by a reel for rotation therewith and an inlet tube mounted in one of the hubs so that the inlet tube is held from rotation with the reel. The inlet tube and the outlet tube are in fluid communication. A crank is attached to the other of the hubs to rotate the reel. A hose guide defines a window for passage of the hose with the frame supporting the hose guide spaced from the reel. The hose guide permits free passage of the hose through the window and the hose guide is freely movable along a horizontal path so that the hose can be wound on the reel in layers with adjacent turns being contiguous and without the operator touching the hose, by the operator simultaneously operating the crank and moving the hose guide. A method of operating the hose cart is also disclosed.
