Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to a supporting device for a pipe.
- A supporting device is understood to be a device for winding and unwinding a pipe, more precisely a watering pipe.
- Said device applies to the hobbies and gardening sector.
- In the prior art there are provided several pipe supporting devices, all sharing the presence of a reel for winding and/or unwinding a pipe, manual or automated means for winding and/or unwinding a pipe, as well as a support base enabling to stabilize the reel on the ground, at the same time keeping it raised therefrom (thereby favouring operations of pipe unwinding /winding).
- In the prior art, the design of pipe supporting devices has increasingly focused its efforts to achieve two main objectives i.e. improving functionality and use flexibility of the device and reducing the overall sizes as far as possible.
- It very often happens that those who tend to prefer flexibility of use, are then forced to give up to space-savings. Indeed, the more the reel increases in size, the more device flexibility is improved; in this way different types of pipes watering can be housed within the reel, which require the adoption of larger support bases to the detriment of the overall space occupied by the device.
- Conversely where the supporting device is the most compact possible, use of different pipe sizes is not possible, hence flexibility in use is penalized; furthermore said device is not even easy to carry under certain conditions. In this context, the technical task at the base of the present invention is to provide a device for supporting a pipe which obviates the drawbacks of the prior art as mentioned above.
- In more detail, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for supporting a pipe capable of improving use flexibility.
- A further object of the invention herein, is to provide a device for supporting a pipe which is able to reduce the overall sizes when not in use.
- The technical task mentioned and the aims specified are substantially attained by a supporting device for a pipe comprising the technical characteristics described in one or more of the appended claims. Further characteristics and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the indicative, and therefore non-limiting, description of a preferred but non-exclusive embodiment of a supporting device for a pipe as illustrated in the accompanying drawings wherein:
-
Figure 1 is a side view of the supporting device for a pipe herein disclosed, in a first operational configuration; -
Figure 2 is a front view of the device ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 3 is a rear view of the device ofFigure 1 always in the first operational configuration; -
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the device ofFigure 1 ; -
Figure 5 is a rear view of the device offigure 1 in a second operational configuration; -
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the device ofFigure 5 in the second operational configuration; -
Figure 7 is an enlarged view partially in section of a constructive detail of the device. - By the
numeral 1, it is indicated a supporting device for a pipe T. - A supporting device is understood to be a device for winding and unwinding a pipe, more precisely a watering pipe.
- When mentioning the concept of winding described hereinafter, reference will also be made to the concept of unwinding, in that it deals with the reverse operation.
- The supporting
device 1 macroscopically comprises areel 2, abase surface 5 and agripping element 7. - The
reel 2 consists of a pair of corresponding andopposite flanges 3, 3', which are connected one to another by aroller 4. - The
roller 4 extending along an axis X-X parallel to the ground and preferably horizontal, acts as a winding base of the pipe T. In other words the pipe T, being wound on the reel, forms a coil whose innermost layer is resting on theroller 4, whereas the outermost layers thereof are in mutual contact. - The pair of
flanges 3, 3', preferably arranged perpendicularly to the axis X-X, act as a lateral restraint of the wound coil of the pipe T. Since theflanges 3, 3' are identical to one another, only one of them will be described hereinafter. The numerical references below adopted for a flange, are also valid for the other (for the twinned flange 3', the reference numbers are followed by a superscript). - Said
flange 3 exhibits acentral region 19 which is preferably disc-shaped. Fourarms 30 forming a cruise, develop from thecentral region 19, moving away therefrom. Saidarms 30 are then connected to one another by aring 31. - On one of the pairs of
flanges 3, 3', acrank 29 is arranged, which is suitable for enabling winding and unwinding operations of the pipe T. By acting on thecrank 29, thereel 2 is in fact made to rotate on the axis X-X of theroller 4, thus allowing winding or unwinding of the pipe T according to the direction of rotation impressed to thereel 2. - Each
central region 19 exhibits a first, second andthird seat reel 2 is six. - Preferably each seat is defined by a hole.
- Locking means 23 are placed relative to the first and
third seat leaf spring 24 ending with aprotrusion 25. - Operation of the locking means will be better explained here below.

upper portion hole 26 adapted to enter into contact with thecorresponding protrusion 25 of theleaf spring 24, whichleaf spring 24 belongs to thelocking element 23. - The coupling between the first and second
tubular element first seats 21, 21', occurs owing to the snap coupling between the tubular element, 6 or 8, and the respectivefirst seat 21 or 21'. - When inserting, by way of example, the
tubular portion 6 into the correspondingfirst seat 21, theleaf spring 24 flexes while moving away from thecentral region 19, so as to allow passage of thetubular portion 6. As soon as thehole 26 of the tubular portion matches with theprotrusion 25, a snap coupling occurs therebetween, thus favoring the blocking of thetubular portion 6 inside theseat 2 of the reel. - This coupling occurs in a similar manner between the
tubular element 8 and the respective first seat 21'. - Each tubular element has then a
lower portion - As shown in the accompanying figures, the
lower portions third crosspiece 32. -
Said base surface 5 exhibits, on the rear side thereof, a thirdtubular element 9 and a fourthtubular element 10. - Said third and fourth tubular elements have a respective first

gripping element 7 is movable from an extended position to a retracted position. - When in the extended position thereof, the
gripping element 7 reaches an elongation height from the ground S equal to H, while in the retracted position, said gripping element has a distance from the ground S corresponding to an overall size height h. - When the
gripping elements 7 are at a height H, displacement of thedevice 1 is facilitated according to the methods indicated above. Conversely, when thegripping elements 7 are at the overall size height h, which is lower than the elongation height H, the device can be stored. - In this contracted position, the
gripping element 7 is at least partially nested inside thebase surface 5. - In other words, the
gripping element 7 is coupled telescopically inside thebase surface 5 and can be moved from the outside towards the inside of the base surface and vice versa. - Said
gripping element 7 comprises a fifth and a sixthtubular element second crosspiece 17. - Said fifth and sixth

gripping element 7, namely the fifth and sixthtubular element base surface 5, i.e. inside the first and secondtubular element gripping element 7 is stationary relative to thebase surface 5. With thering nut 28 in the open position thereof, thegripping element 7 can be switched from the extended position to the contracted position and vice versa. - Switching of the
ring nut 18 occurs by screwing/unscrewing the same on the threadedextension 27 obtained on thethird seat 22, 22'. - The
device 1 of the invention herein, attains the proposed object. Indeed, a high reduction of the overall sizes can be obtained owing to the present invention, wherein the functionalities typical of the pipe T supporting devices are maintained unchanged. - When the device is in use, the operator, by acting on the ring nuts 28 (i.e. by loosening the same), can promote sliding of the fifth and sixth
