Thus, there remains a need for a kitchen sink hose reel that is retractable that keeps a kitchen sink hose tightly stored and out of the way of other objects stored underneath a kitchen sink. It would be helpful if such a kitchen sink hose reel is mounted underneath the sink. It would be additionally desirable for such a kitchen sink hose reel.
The kitchen sink hose reel may be adapted to eliminate a loosely hanging kitchen sink hose hanging underneath a kitchen sink. The primary operative steps in the kitchen sink hose reel are to mount the kitchen sink hose reel underneath the kitchen sink. When in operation, the kitchen sink hose reel eliminates a loosely hanging kitchen sink hose. As a result, many of the limitations imposed by prior art structures are removed.
The present invention is a hose reel. More specifically, the present invention is a kitchen sink hose reel.
The kitchen sink hose reel includes a casing containing a retractable hose, the casing includes a hose inlet and a hose outlet, the retractable hose includes a first end and a second end, the first end of the retractable hose extends through the hose inlet to receive water. The kitchen sink hose reel also includes a sink nozzle sprayer connected to the retractable hose extending through the hose outlet, the sink nozzle sprayer includes an activation tab, a water outlet and a water inlet, the second end of the retractable hose extends through the hose outlet and is attached to the water inlet of the sink nozzle sprayer.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a kitchen sink hose reel that is mounted underneath a kitchen sink to eliminate a loosely hanging kitchen sink hose hanging underneath the kitchen sink.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a kitchen sink hose reel that prevents sprayer hose from tangling under the sink so that is it able to extend fully.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a kitchen sink hose reel that prevents auto locking of hose at different lengths, and auto retraction.
