Abstract:
A device for taking up a fire-fighting hose, allowing the user to quickly and reliably take up the hose with a small force in an upright posture and capable of accurately taking up the hose both in a single layer and in double layers. Wheels (2) are rotatably supported at the lower part of a frame body (1), and a handle (5) is provided to the upper part of the frame body (1). The frame body (1) can be moved by rotating the wheels (2) by pushing or pulling the handle (5). A rotatable reel (3) on which hose (H) is wound is provided to the frame body (1), a power transmitting circulation member (4) is passed over the rotating shaft (33) of the reel (3) and the rotation support shaft (21) of the wheels (2) to enable the reel (3) to rotate in association with the rotation of the wheels (2). A core member (3A) for a single-layer winding and a core member (3B) for double-layer winding, which are interchangeable, are provided to the reel (3), and either the core member (3A) for a single-layer winding or the core member (3B) for double-layer winding can be removably affixed to a rotating shaft section (30a) of a base plate (30) of the reel (3).
