Abstract
A sheet metal plate with two keyhole-shaped slots supported on a post connected to a beam on an implement hitch for supporting hydraulic hoses. An enlarged end of the slot receives the conventional hose end coupler, and the narrow portion of the slot captures the groove in the coupler. The length of the slot is selected to hold the desired number of couplers. Pairs of upright slots are provided so that hose pairs may be kept together. The hose couplers are easy to slide into and out of the storage device, which is conveniently located in an easily accessible spot on the implement hitch. The device prevents hose tip contamination and facilitates orderly storage and identification of hose pairs.
