Abstract

Implementations of spool devices may include a frame including an anchor, the anchor configured to directly couple to a belt of a user, an axle coupled through the frame, and a first spool coupled over a first portion of the axle. The first portion of the axle may extend entirely through the first spool. The spool device may also include a second spool coupled over a second portion of the axle. The second portion of the axle may extend entirely through the second spool. The spool device may also include a first spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the first spool, a second spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the second spool, a first hose roller directly coupled to the frame, and a second hose roller directly coupled to the frame.

Claims (53)

1. A spool device comprising:

a frame comprising an anchor, the anchor configured to directly couple to a belt of a user;

an axle coupled through the frame;

a first spool coupled over a first portion of the axle, the first portion of the axle extending entirely through the first spool;

a second spool coupled over a second portion of the axle, the second portion of the axle extending entirely through the second spool;

a first spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the first spool;

a second spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the second spool;

a first hose roller directly coupled to the frame; and

a second hose roller directly coupled to the frame.

2. The spool device of claim 1 , wherein the frame does not cross a first plane formed by the outer wall of the first spool and the frame does not cross a second plane formed by the outer wall of the second spool.

3. The spool device of claim 1 , further comprising a braking system directly coupled to the frame, wherein the braking system is configured to brake the first spool and the second spool through friction.

4. The spool device of claim 1 , wherein the spool device is configured to couple to a front of a user and is configured to allow a user to spool multiple hoses simultaneously.

5. The spool device of claim 1 , further comprising a first hub lock configured to secure the first spool over the first portion of the axle and a second hub lock configured to secure the second spool over the second portion of the axle.

6. The spool device of claim 1 , wherein the first spool is configured to rotate independently from the second spool.

7. A spool device comprising:

a frame comprising;

an anchor directly coupled to an upright;

a first support coupled between the upright and an axle receiving portion;

a second support coupled between the upright and the axle receiving portion;

an upper portion directly coupled to and extending from the upright, the upper portion forming an angle between 90-135 degrees with the upright; and

a third support coupled between the upper portion and the axle receiving portion;

an axle coupled through the axle receiving portion;

a first spool coupled over a first portion of the axle;

a second spool coupled over a second portion of the axle;

a first spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the first spool;

a second spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the second spool;

a first hose roller directly coupled to the frame; and

a second hose roller directly coupled to the frame.

8. The spool device of claim 7 , wherein the first hose roller and the second hose roller are rotatable.

9. The spool device of claim 7 , further comprising a hose locking mechanism directly coupled to the upper portion of the frame.

10. The spool device of claim 7 , wherein the first hose roller and the second hose roller are directly coupled to the third support.

11. The spool device of claim 7 , further comprising a harness, the harness comprising a first latch configured to couple to the upper portion of the frame, a second latch configured to directly couple to a user's clothing, and a third latch configured to directly couple to the user's clothing.

12. The spool device of claim 7 , wherein the anchor comprises a notch configured to couple over a user's belt.

13. The spool device of claim 7 , wherein the spool device is configured to spool devices while the spool device is carried by a user.

14. A spool device comprising:

a frame comprising;

an upright coupled to an anchor, the anchor comprising a U shape and configured to directly couple over a belt of a user; and

an upper portion directly coupled to and extending from the upright, the upright and upper portion forming an angle therebetween;

a harness directly coupled to the upper portion;

an axle coupled to the frame;

a first removable spool coupled over a first portion of the axle;

a second removable spool coupled over a second portion of the axle;

a first spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the first removable spool;

a second spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the second removable spool;

a first brake coupled to frame, the first brake configured to pivot and engage the first removable spool; and

a second brake coupled to frame, the second brake configured to pivot and engage the second removable spool;

wherein the spool device is configured to directly couple to the front of a user; and

wherein the spool device is configured to allow the user to spool multiple hoses simultaneously while moving.

15. The spool device of claim 14 , wherein the harness is configured to directly couple to only a single point of the frame.

16. The spool device of claim 14 , further comprising a hose locking mechanism directly coupled to the upper portion of the frame.

17. The spool device of claim 14 , further comprising a first hub lock configured to secure the first removable spool over the first portion of the axle and a second hub lock configured to secure the second removable spool over the second portion of the axle.

18. The spool device of claim 14 , wherein the first removable spool and the second removable spool are configured to rotate independently from one another.

19. The spool device of claim 14 , wherein the frame does not cross a first plane formed by the outer wall of the first removable spool and the frame does not cross a second plane formed by the outer wall of the second removable spool.
