The present invention relates generally to gardening hose reel, and more particularly to gardening hose reel which water inlet terminal is designed with rotary connector for innovative design.
Gardening hose reel is an instrument that is designed for convenient storage of a gardening hose. The traditional gardening hose reel comprises a notch for roll-up of a gardening hose. The water inlet terminal of the gardening hose can be pulled outward from the center of said notch, the water outlet terminal can be pulled outward from the seam of the other end of the reel. Problems arise from the traditional design concern the following.
Given the different pulling directions of the water inlet and outlet terminals, when the water outlet terminal is pulled outward, the water inlet terminal rotates radially as a direct result. If the water inlet terminal is affixed to the faucet, the gardening then appears in spiral and twisted shape. Therefore, the use of a traditional gardening reel requires pulling the water outlet terminal to the desired length, then affix the water inlet terminal to the faucet. Otherwise, spiral and twisted shapes would occur when the gardening hose is pulled. It not only results in obstruction of water flow but also leads to damage to the gardening hose.
Therefore, in regards to the above-mentioned problems, an innovative design to improve the spiral and twisted shape of the gardening hose needs to be concerned.
The benefits of the prevent invention are as follows:
The improved functions of the prevent invention are as follows:
The main frame 10 can be placed on a horizontal rotary frame 50 can rotate along pulling direction of the water outlet terminal 22 of the gardening hose 20 for smooth usage.
The features and the advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood upon a thoughtful deliberation of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
the water inlet terminal 21 of the gardening hose 20 contains a rotary connector 40 at the outlet 12 of the reel notch 11. When the water outlet terminal 22 is pulled outward (as shown in FIG. 4), the water inlet terminal of the gardening hose 20 turns with the rotary connector 40 to inhibit linkage with the water inlet terminal 21 of the gardening hose 20 so as to prevent the gardening hose 20 from spiral and twisted shape.
Whereas the rotary connector 40 is comprised of the primary connector 41 and the secondary connector 42. The connectors are built upon the existing connector set and can be turned radially in separate directions. The central outlet 12 of the reel notch 11 contain a casing 121 which comprises a pivot hole 122 to limit the primary connector 41; the internal of the secondary connector 42 is connected to the primary connector 41, and the external is connected to the water inlet terminal 21 of the gardening hose 20.
