This is a carry-type hose reel for home garden watering, reconfiguring the rewinding process by means of a belt-driven retraction mechanism. Inspired by the guiding and positioning action of belt conveyors, it continuously guides and positions the hose during rewinding, ensuring even layering across the reel—eliminating tangling, jamming, and bunching, so users can enjoy smooth, orderly retraction without manual intervention, while also reducing hose wear from repeated compression and kinking.
Its carry design addresses both mobility and storage needs, while a side‑integrated inlet hose storage keeps the supply hose securely in place when not in use—preventing the hose from hanging loose or creating clutter.
This hose reel adopts a sturdy, rugged industrial aesthetic, with a refined surface treatment that integrates structure and visual coherence, while employing materials such as ABS, PP, PVC, and TPR to meet everyday needs. It shifts the once‑manual task of guiding and tidying the hose into a structurally driven process, while integrating the storage of both the main hose and the supply hose into a single unit—making post‑watering cleanup more orderly and straightforward.
