ABSTRACT:
A low friction reel assembly for winding, storing and transporting a length of material, such as garden hose, wherein a pair of concentrically arranged removably secured spaced apart wall sections bridge and extend outwardly radially from a central body to define a channel for confining the length of material wound therein, one end of the material being held in the body, and a handle integral with one wall section which at its center supports the reel for rotation and on its periphery slidably engages the other wall section during its rotation, the engaged wall and body being rotatable relative to the handle in one direction for winding up the length of material and in a reverse direction for unwinding the material. The invention also includes a method for loading the reel assembly which includes the steps of engaging one wall section open on its face and the central body on a fixture, winding the material on the body, and interlocking the other wall section over the first section and body to close the reel after the material has been wound therein.
