Abstract
A hose reel 10 is supported by a mounting bracket 12 which can be attached on a vertical or horizontal surface and allow for 180 degrees of motion to allow the hose reel 10 to automatically swivel in the direction the hose 14 is being pulled. The bracket mechanism 16 consists of integral mounting bosses 18 on the hose reel enclosures 20, a mounting bracket 12, a tube 22 and a constraint device 24 on the tube 22. The mounting bosses 18 on the hose reel enclosures 20 are designed to orient and constrain the mounting tube 22 to allow for the tube to be installed from either end of the hose reel. The constraining device 24 on the tube 22 locks into an integral opening 26 in the mounting bosses 18 to prevent tube 22 displacement in either direction.
