ABSTRACT:
An improved vehicle hose retraction system is disclosed having a dual roller configuration which permits the hose to follow a smooth S-shaped path during extension and retraction, thereby maximizing the hose storage capacity of the system and avoiding kinds and abrasion to the hose. The axis of each roller is oriented so as to be generally perpendicular to the plane of the housing of the retraction system to minimize hose friction and wear. The housing is also provided with an angled hood which presents the free end of the hose in a position that facilitates connection. In addition, a locking mechanism is disclosed which prevents rotation of its members under vibrational conditions.
