1. Field of the Invention
The field of invention relates to winding and reeling apparatus, and more particularly pertains to a new and improved hose reel apparatus wherein the same permits selective winding and reeling of a hose to provide fluid communication to an outlet conduit within the organization, as required.
2. Description of the Prior Art
In contemporary use of recreational vehicles, various park facilities provide water sources for use by individuals within a recreational vehicle. Frequently these water sources or faucets are of an inconvenient spacing relative to an associated parking orientation of an associated recreational vehicle. To effect securement of a hose relative to such a faucet, cumbersome and space consuming storage of a hose is required. The instant invention attempts to overcome deficiencies of the prior art by providing a hose in continuous fluid communication with a central support spindle of an associated drum to permit securement of the hose relative to an associated faucet to provide selective water flow through an outlet conduit mounted coaxially through the drum. Examples of prior art hose support apparatus are available in the prior art, but have heretofore failed to provide an organization of an efficient and convenient construction as set forth by the instant invention. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,012,002 to McDonald, et al. sets forth a hose reel organization wherein the central drum utilizing a plurality of spaced sprockets directs the drum to wind or reel an associated hose mounted thereabout, but fails to provide the fluid communication conduit organization as required by the instant invention.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,395,723 to Tatsuno provides a drum winding organization for use in directing of gasoline flow in a service station environment.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,301,208 to Gear sets forth a hose reel apparatus providing selective winding and reeling of an associated hose organization.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,954,190 to Le Clair provides a hose winding organization mounted about a central drum.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,573,868 to Newell sets forth a hose reel cooperative with a spaced electric motor to permit selective winding of the hose about the drum in a manner consistent with the prior art.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,963,227 to Lambert provides a hose winding organization utilizing a coaxially arranged fluid conduit cooperative with the hose for use in directing a petroleum product therethrough.
As such, it may be appreciated that there continues to be a need for a new and improved hose reel apparatus wherein the same addresses both the problems of ease of use as well as effectiveness and compactness of construction and in this respect, the present invention substantially fulfills this need.
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of hose reel apparatus now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a hose reel apparatus wherein the same provides a compact hose reeling organization utilizing a coaxially arranged conduit cooperative with a central spindle, wherein the spindle utilizes a drive shaft arrangement in communication with a drive gear set to effect selective winding and reeling of the organization. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved hose reel apparatus which has all the advantages of the prior art hose reel apparatus and none of the disadvantages.
To attain this, the present invention provides an apparatus for storage and subsequent unwinding and reeling of an associated hose for use particularly in recreational vehicle application, wherein a flexible hose is wound about a central drum and is in fluid communication with a central spindle. The spindle includes an "L" shaped fluid conduit directed therethrough in communication with an outlet conduit directed exteriorly of the drum. The drum includes a selectively actuated motor driven drive train to effect selective winding and unreeling of the organization by use of a reversible electric motor cooperating with a gear set.
My invention resides not in any one of these features per se, but rather in the particular combination of all of them herein disclosed and claimed and it is distinguished from the prior art in this particular combination of all of its structures for the functions specified.

Man's body found in locked bathroom - police
Relevant offers
The death of an autistic man locked in a bathroom during a house fire has highlighted problems with care for adults affected by mental disabilities, experts say.
Otto Rapihana, 20, and a 25-year-old man were being looked after on November 9 by a caregiver who had left the property to allegedly buy fish and chips when the fire started.
The other autistic man was able to escape with just burns but Rapihana was locked in the bathroom until it was too late.
The Fire Service would not discuss the cause of the fire, calling it "sensitive and complex".
But Waitakere police were investigating the incident and considering if charges would be laid.
They said a caregiver was not on site when the fire broke out and Rapihana's body was found in a locked bathroom.
The principal of Arohanui School, which Rapihana attended, said there was a great deal of expertise needed to care for people with ASD or Autistic Spectrum Disorder.
"People need a level of expertise about what they're dealing with and back-up support - you can't just throw these positions to Joe Bloggs,'' James Le Marquand said.
He said the death had prompted concern.
Parents of people with ASD found themselves increasingly isolated from specialist organisations which provided respite or residential care, Le Marquand said.
"The big organisations were once tasked with respite care but they've abdicated from that. Twenty years ago respite services were ongoing lifelong care and we'd have around 80 per cent of our students go into IHC care. Now it is 0.75 per cent.
"It's because our students with challenging behaviour cost a lot of money to support. Their motto is 'In Our Community', but they're not in our community at all.''
Le Marquand said a lack of suitable care options available meant tragedy was inevitable.
Oaklynn Special School deputy principal Colleen Smith said there was a small group of people with complex needs that were going without.
"The families with the greatest needs are the ones without the help. If their needs weren't that challenging they wouldn't need the respite."
Spectrum Care provides respite support for children and young adults from 5 to 21 and has five beds in West Auckland catering for 26 children.
Chief executive Chris Harris agrees there needs to be more resources available for struggling parents.
"There isn't an autism emergency service available in New Zealand. In a mental health situation there are beds at a hospital but there's nothing for these families."
Le Marquand said the loss of Rapihana had affected the students, staff and families at the school "profoundly".
"He was an icon here. He was a king. Whenever we had a really big welcoming for a special guest he would always be sitting in the middle, every time. He was that sort of kid.
"When I went around the classes with Otto's photo explaining what had happened, they all understood.
"Most of them can't speak but they picked up on the sombreness and just that sense of sadness. You could see it on their faces."
Rapihana came to the school's Glendene satellite class when he was five with severe autism.
His condition meant that he couldn't communicate with speech and he had challenging behavioural issues, Le Marquand said.
"But in many respects, his challenges helped define how the school worked to best meet the needs of the students.
"I don't think that he came to the school as a student, he came to us as a teacher."
Le Marquand said Rapihana loved food and going for rides in the school vans.
He had a year left at the school, which takes students up to the age of 21.

Donald Hutchings' friends and colleagues believe he is tough enough to survive a year or more as a hostage.
It's more than physical stamina, although Hutchings is a man who climbed mountains and frozen waterfalls, a cross-country skier, canoeist and bicyclist.
More often, they talk about his mental toughness.
"He's a solid, straightforward guy," said George Neal, who climbed mountains in North and South America with Hutchings.
On those trips, Hutchings was always a leader and dependable team member, Neal said.
"If anybody would do well in this situation, Don Hutchings would," psychologist Jim Roubos said of his colleague's months in captivity. "He'd figure out a way to get through this."
Roubos agreed to take referrals and talk with Hutchings' patients when the Spokane neuropsychologist and his wife, Jane Schelly, left last summer on what was supposed to be a monthlong trip.
A few weeks into the trip, they and other Western tourists were seized by a shadowy rebel group in Kashmir. Schelly and four other travelers were released but Hutchings, Britons Paul Wells and Keith Mangan, and German Dirk Hasert remain captives.
Thousands of miles away in Spokane, friends and colleagues have spent the year searching for news about Hutchings. They refuse to believe the worst of the rumors - that the hostages were killed and buried months ago outside a Kashmiri village.
Although Westerners had been urged to stay out of strife-torn Kashmir, friends don't believe Hutchings and Schelly were taking unnecessary risks in their visit.
"Every place I've ever climbed, there's been some kind of danger. International travel is like that," said Neal, who climbed in Bolivia with Hutchings in 1993.
Hutchings, friends say, always spent months studying the areas the couple visited on their yearly treks. He planned meticulously, and didn't take unnecessary risks.
It was Hutchings' caution and attention to detail that made him such a good climber, say members of the Spokane Mountaineers, an outdoors group.
"He got serious when he was concerned about safety," said club member Emily Gordon.
Hutchings, 43, and Schelly, 41, met during an outing by the Mountaineers Club in 1984. He was a Spokane native who grew up with a love of the outdoors instilled by his father, a former cowboy in Idaho. Hutchings taught the club's mountain climbing classes.
Schelly, who had moved to the city from Pennsylvania that year, would later become the group's president. In 1991, they were married.
They backpacked in the summer, skied into the back country of Yellowstone National Park in the winter, friends said.
Both had a competitive side.
Joseph McManus recalled a canoeing trip on Lake Pend Oreille when several couples were struggling to get their boats across the lake in a stiff wind. Schelly reached into her pack, pulled out a tent and stood up in the bow, turning the canoe into a sailboat.
Hutchings steadied the canoe and used his paddle as a rudder in the back. "They made it a race because they got across the lake faster than anyone else," McManus said.
Hutchings has "the strongest backbone of anybody I've ever known," McManus said. He is so honest that he doesn't even exceed speed limits.
He is so fair-minded that he would probably be distressed to learn that his captivity is resulting in "Muslim bashing," Neal added.
"He'd probably be the first to emphasize that the average person in Kashmir does not approve of this kind of action," Neal said.
He uses humor to calm tense situations, said Deb Pierce, a friend and club member.
"He tells jokes on the long climbs," she said. "The higher he gets, the worse the jokes get."
Hutchings is an innovator in his field, say colleagues. His specialty of neuropsychology deals with victims of severe stroke and traumatic brain injuries. He taught them to overcome their impairments by circumventing the injured parts of their brains and reteaching them basic skills.
"He was always able to relate to patients extremely well," said psychologist Duane Greene.
Several years ago, Greene, Hutchings and several other psychologists formed Northwest Integrated Services for victims of brain injuries. It allowed such patients to receive physical and occupational therapy outside a hospital setting.
"He was trying to champion change in the area," said Jack Geringer, president of the Washington State Head Injury Foundation. "He always went beyond what was necessary to collect his fees."
Friends remain confident Hutchings will survive his captivity, and will come home - some day.
"He means so much to so many people, that whether it's six months, six years or 60 years, there would still be energy here for him," McManus said.

Instant "Melt Down" Preventer,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Where Is Baby's Belly Button? A Lift-the-Flap Book (Board book)
First of all, I have NEVER reviewed a children's book, let alone a board book. However, I cannot let this one go unrecognized. My daughter received this from an aunt as a baby gift and I started reading it to her at 4 months. She loved the bright colors and would lay next to me transfixed as we looked at it over-and-over again. She is now 8 months old and LOVES IT EVEN MORE!!! It goes with us on EVERY road trip and let me tell you, when she gets tired of sitting in her car seat, all I have to do is show her the book and her fussy face turns into intant smiles and "babble" and kicking legs become motionless! I am NOT exaggerating. My daughter especially loves the "Where's baby's eyes" page and giggles every time I lift the flap. The book has also become a favorite chew toy now that she's beginning to sprout teeth. I'm ordering the authors other books today so that we have a complete set. From a structure standpoint, the pages are very sturdy and the flaps are very secure. I recommend it to any parent looking to spark their child's interest in books. It certainly beats plopping them down in front of the television to watch Baby Einstein videos (which, by the way, my daughter HATES), but I'll leave my dislike for these for another review.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 804 reviews
The Royale Chulan was very nice. The wifi worked well which was super helpful. The only bad thing I could say is we ate at the Chinese restaurant in the hotel and the food was not good and there were bugs on the table so I wouldn't recommend going there.
Great place to stay
We has such an amazing time here. The room, food and facilities were great. Wonderful location also.
Stayed here 3 nights with friends. Checking in was a slight drag. Front desk staff were pleasant but we had to wait 4.5 hours for our room. They did give us room upgrades which was a bonus for our loss of nearly 5 hours sitting around in the lobby. Rooms were very good. Clean and comfortable. Room amenities and toiletries were more than adequate. Location was excellent. Walking distance to major shopping centres and food and beverage outlets. Staff were very friendly. We would stay here again for sure. Highly Recommended.
Great service, fabulous pool, beautiful view from our private verandah. Great wifi connection, fantastic location; easy to get to Pavillon Mall, KLCC Mall, Petronas Towers, and mono rail to Times Square mall. Very comfortable stay; thank you; will definitely stay at The Royale Chulan in Bukit Bintang-KL again!

The Bankruptcy Code, section 507, states that when a corporation is liquidated, creditors are paid in a particular order:
- Secured creditors, like secured bondholders.
Unsecured creditors - These are generally suppliers, employees, banks, and
Secured bondholders and other secured creditors are paid first because their money is usually guaranteed or "secured" by collateral or a contract. After secured creditors are paid, unsecured creditors are paid.
The first tier of unsecured creditors are those who are entitled to receive money from the company, but their claims are not secured or guaranteed. This group of creditors includes: bank lenders, employees, the government (taxes), suppliers and investors who have unsecured bonds.
The last group of creditors is the general creditors, which is largely made up of stockholders or shareholders. This set of creditors is paid if there is any money left over after all the other creditors have been paid. The general creditors are divided into creditors who have preferred stocks and those who have common stock. The preferred shareholders are paid before those who have common shares. If there is no money after the preferred shareholders are paid, then the common shareholders do not receive any money.
Essentially, unsecured creditors are paid after secured creditors and bondholders because the bondholders have a guarantee from the company. Unsecured creditors are paid before stockholders because stockholders are owners of the company and take greater risk.

The question of whether or not OSU's Athletic Director will take a job somewhere other than with the Beavers is answered. After considering other offers, a contract is finally agreed on between Bob de Carolis and OSU, to the tune of over $490,000. It appears he'll stay in Corvallis through at least June of 2016. Since he started at Oregon State back in 1998, de Carolis has been the driving force behind the construction or remodeling of Reser Stadium, Gill Coliseum, Goss Stadium and other facilities on OSU's campus. During de Carolis's time at OSU, the football team has seen nine bowl games and the baseball team boasts two national titles.

FlowSongs Beta: The devices it will work on and what they are like
Pure, the leader in digital DAB radios, has launched a new music streaming service that allows users to stream tracks from a central location to their radio, as long as the device that supports the service has Internet access.
But, which devices work with the new FlowSong Beta offering and are they any good? This is what we think of the devices, so you can decide which one you should get.
AVANTI Flow, £279
There's no escaping the fact that the Avanti Flow is an expensive bit of kit and it's not without its failings, but the audio output alone is worth the cash. The internet radio search is a touch inelegant and we've seen better remotes, so it's not all roses, but once you've heard it in action those issues become less of a problem.
Probably more for the audio enthusiast than a simple iPod dock solution, however it could conceivably replace a much bulkier hi-fi system and give better audio quality.
EVOKE Flow, £150
The Pure Evoke Flow is launched at a time when more and more manufacturers are getting into the internet radio market. Its offering on the hardware front, as we've come to expect from Pure Digital, is second to none.
That's not to say it's completely perfect, there are a few glitches with the radio: no live pause for example and the menus can be confusing at times with no direct button to get you to the home page, but on the whole, the radio's performance when listening to DAB, FM or internet radio is very good. Sound quality and speaker capabilities are excellent and as a piece of hardware we love it.
Where the chink in the armour occurs is in thelounge.com website, that accompanies the radio. It's just rough around the edges and, compared to the competition, not very Web 2.0. It's not that there isn't some good functionality tucked away in there, it just doesn't match up to the player in performance or aesthetics.
Oasis Flow, £169
The Pure Oasis Flow comes with three criticisms, but plenty of praise. Those criticisms come in the form of the price, software, and the fiddly control mechanism. At £169.99 it does look a bit too expensive, even though it offers plenty in the way of DAB, FM and internet radio. The thelounge.com website is just badly designed. And in terms of the controls - you'd better just hope you have deft fingers.
Get past these foibles and the radio is a great device, well made, able to withstand being left out in the rain while you duck for cover, and good enough to produce a sound that you and your party guests will be happy with.
Sensia, £250
The space age cousin to the Evoke and the Avanti, the Pure Sensia's departure in looks is matched just as much in its different design. It has all the premium features to justify its hefty price tag, given it's a radio, but it does rather rely on both the touchscreen and the app support being strong as that's what you're really paying for.
The sad truth is that although both are a step in the right direction neither quite delivers the quality you'd be after. The screen is no iPod touch and the apps haven't really got much further than Facebook, Twitter and some bits and pieces of news and weather. It's fun to check your timelines from your bedside, but you can do that with your phone without having to sit up. On the plus side, the sound quality is typically good and the pebble remote control is on the sexy side.
Siesta Flow, £99
The Pure Lounge is a great way of organising your podcasts and internet radio and being able to stream music from your PC or Mac is compelling. However, the finicky touchscreen is our major complaint about the Siesta Flow; if that were better we'd be much happier to recommend it. As it stands, however, it's a little bit too expensive to get our full backing. Especially when there are similarly priced, and cheaper radio alarm clocks that do just as good a job.
Sirocco 550, £140
The Sirocco 550 is the new flagship model of Pure's micro hi-fi family, offering digital and internet radio in a micro hi-fi system with FM, CD and an iPod/iPhone dock. Pocket-lint has yet to review this device.

BMC Software this week launched MyIT, an enterprise IT help desk solution that empowers employees to take more personal control over their IT services and to get the right type of help they need -- anytime, anywhere, from any device.
Frustration with company IT departments is a widely shared experience. Forrester Research reports that just 35 percent of business decision-makers say IT provides "high quality, timely end user support." What's more, employees are increasingly circumventing their IT organizations in search of faster IT support and problem resolution.
Moreover, studies show that the friction between users and IT help capabilities saps as much as 20 percent of productivity away from workers. That's a day a week when things go wrong.
"The IT people and non-IT people sometimes talk two different languages, and it's hard to cross that barrier. In fact, a lot of times there's this unfounded fear of IT because the users typically don't get the information they need, or don't understand it when it is given to them," said Robert Stinnett, senior analyst at Carfax.
What's largely been missing is a focus on the complete processes of IT help desk -- from the users' point of view. Too often help comes in the form of a technology fix for a specific product, leaving users in the role of integrator, if they can. Or, when they are able, they find that they manage their personal IT services better using online resources than their IT experiences provide at work. [Disclosure: BMC is a sponsor of BriefingsDirect podcasts.]
To improve on this, MyIT delivers a personalized portfolio of technology and services to each employee, including a content locker, mobile corporate app store, and other location-aware services and solutions. MyIT also integrates with BMC's Remedy IT Service Management suites and will bring the power of the larger Business Service Management portfolio to workers.
The result is a merging of IT provisioning and access functions with the support information and help functions when things get dicey. It makes a lot of sense to me that these functions overlap and come through similar, user-friendly interfaces and processes.
"This is a game-changing way of presenting data and services to end-users," said Jason Frye, Director, Office of the CTO, at BMC Software.
Gaining productive value
"Today, in a powerful irony, an employee's personal IT experience is much better than their IT experience at work, yet they're forced to relinquish the productive value of their personal IT when they go to work," said Kia Behnia, BMC's CTO. Employees want IT organizations that provide a modern 'store front' for IT services and information delivery and a 'genius bar' ability to manage and control the IT services and information they need to do their jobs. IT organizations must respond to this change, and MyIT is the bridge that connects their industrialized infrastructure with the needs and expectations of their fellow employees."
Among the features and benefits of MyIT:
- The combination of self-service, process automation and the right employee-facing UI slash the IT costs associated with resolving trouble tickets – as much as 25 percent in large companies.
IT organizations must respond to this change, and MyIT is the bridge that connects their industrialized infrastructure with the needs and expectations of their fellow employees.
- MyIT allows employees to focus on productivity and value creation, rather than fixing IT problems. Employees can specify and manage their own personalized IT service and information delivery. Services and information required by individual employees are immediately updated as new information comes online or an employee's location changes.
- MyIT takes an employee's positive experience with IT in their personal lives and extends it into their work life with immediate access to the right services and context-aware content, unhampered by old-line IT processes.Speaking about the new solution, Abraham Galan, CIO at energy giant PEMEX, said: "PEMEX will be among the first companies in the world to deliver BMC Software's MyIT solution – in our case, that means more than 75,000 IT users. Employees are demanding a much better service experience than many IT organizations have been able to provide. PEMEX has been a leader in this area, and we believe that BMC's MyIT will reduce our cost of service delivery and enable us to compete more effectively, both for markets and for talent."
The implications of the service also involve the cloud. MyIT can easily be delivered as an on-premises or as SaaS services. This sets the stage for IT to begin outsourcing more help desk functions that it makes sense to, but deliver them all with a singular front end. The MyIT services will come with web, as well as native mobile apps, when the service goes to beta in January. General availabilty is expected in April.
The timing is great, given the uptick in BYOD interest and use, too. I can also see where a social environment meshes well with MyIT, so that the "wall" interface and community-based help and knowledge are shared to more benefit of all. And this also takes the load off of IT while building a better knowledge base.
Lastly, the MyIT approach also fosters more of a two-way street, so that usage, problem and remediation data are being delivered back to the CMDB, the IT system of record, to build a continuous and integrated IT lifecycle capability. I can even imagine more automation and data-driven IT support from the IT systems themselves, a IT help cloud provider, or both, in the coming years.
