Powder-coated metal bracket for garden hose boxes

Abstract

Powder-coated metal bracket for garden hose boxes, characterized by the fact that it • features an elongated design with lateral bends to increase stability, • has an upper mounting section for attaching a hose box, • has a lower fixing area for anchoring in the ground by concreting in or driving in a ground sleeve, • has a universal hole pattern for mounting a wide variety of commercially available hose box models, • has a powder coating with special corrosion protection and weather resistance.

Description

[0001] Powder-coated metal bracket for garden hose boxes with integrated mounts for garden sprayers, adapters, connectors, and hose connectors. It allows for flexible placement in the garden by embedding it in concrete or using a ground socket. Its powder-coated finish provides exceptional corrosion protection and weather resistance. The bracket essentially consists of an elongated structure with beveled sides for increased stability.

[0002] Previous garden hose box mounts are typically attached directly to house walls, which presents significant technical and structural challenges. Conventional mounting poses several significant risks: • Risk to building insulation: Direct fastening can damage modern thermal insulation and lead to cold bridges. • Load problem: The dead weight of the hose box plus the additional load during use places uneven strain on the facade structure and can lead to cracks / damage • Building protection: Drill holes and fixing points can compromise the integrity of the building envelope

[0003] These challenges require an innovative solution that protects buildings while enabling flexible, safe installation.

[0004] In the past, hose boxes were often screwed directly onto house walls. This fixed the hose box's position to the building envelope and prevented it from being flexibly positioned in the garden. A freestanding mount isn't a simple solution, as these are often not sufficiently stable or weather-resistant.

[0005] The invention specified in the claim is based on the problem of creating a holder for garden hose boxes that allows flexible placement in the garden, is stable and weather-resistant, and at the same time is compatible with various hose box models.

[0006] This problem is solved by the features listed in the claim.

[0007] The invention allows the hose box to be flexibly positioned in the garden, independent of house walls. The powder coating makes the mount particularly weather-resistant. The universal compatibility of the mounting area (4) covers a wide range of commercially available hose box models and enables broad applicability.

[0008] Current solutions for storing garden accessories such as shower heads, adapters, and hose connectors have significant shortcomings. These items are typically stored in a disorganized manner in sheds, basements, or directly next to hose boxes, leading to clutter, dirt, and accelerated wear. A conventional holder isn't a solution, as it doesn't offer integrated storage areas for different types of garden tools.

[0009] The invention described in the claims is therefore based on the problem of creating a holder that can accommodate not only the hose box itself, but also the associated garden accessories in a systematic, protected and clear manner.

[0010] This problem is solved by the features listed in the claim. The invention allows garden showers, adapters, connectors, and hose connectors to be stored directly on the holder and protected from dirt. The designated storage areas allow for clear, space-saving, and easily accessible storage of the accessories.

[0011] An advantageous embodiment of the invention is presented in claim 2. The possibility of anchoring by means of concrete or ground sleeve allows for a flexible yet stable installation.

[0012] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to Fig. 1 to 3. They show: Fig. 1 the bracket in side view 1, Fig. 2 the bracket in side view 2, Fig. 3 the bracket in the front view.

[0013] The mounting section (4) enables secure installation of the hose box, supported by the universal hole pattern (2). The fixing area (3) ensures stable anchoring in the ground, whether by encasing it in concrete or mounting it on a ground sleeve. The forming area (5) gives the mount additional stability, while the integrated accessory storage area (1) allows for organized and protected storage of accessories within easy reach.

Claims

[1] Powder-coated metal bracket for garden hose boxes, characterized by that they • has an elongated construction with lateral edges to increase stability, • has an upper mounting section for mounting a hose box, • has a lower fixing area for anchoring in the ground by encasing in concrete or using a ground sleeve, • has a universal hole pattern for mounting a variety of commercially available hose box models, • has a powder coating with special corrosion protection and weather resistance.
