Abstract

A hand-held cord and hose winding apparatus comprises, in accordance with the present invention, a handle member defining a winding axis and a winding assembly including a hub rotatably mounted to the handle member for rotation about the axis and further including a pair of discs attached to the hub for rotation therewith about the axis. The discs are spaced from one another along the hub. The winder further comprises a binding element removably connectable to the winding assembly for rotating therewith about the axis and for binding a flexible member wound in a coiled configuration on the hub by a turning of the winding assembly about the axis. At least one of the discs is removably attached to the hub for enabling a removal from the winding assembly of the flexible member in the coiled configuration together with the binding element.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] This invention relates to a device for winding elongate flexible members such as hoses and cords into coiled configurations. This invention also relates to an associated method for forming the coils.

[0002] Working with hoses and electrical cords or cables frequently entails storing those items in the intervals between successive usages. It is generally agreed that the most efficient form of storage is a coil. A hose or cord may be arranged by hand, for instance, by coiling the elongate flexible member about a hand and an upper arm. However, everyone knows that no matter how carefully one winds material over the hand and forearm, when one attempts to unwind, the material will snag and tangle. This is very frustrating and a waste of time.

[0003] Winding devices have been provided for assisting in the disposition of hoses and cords in coiled storage configurations. These known devices store the hose or cord on the device itself so that each hose or c...
