Abstract
A hose reel assembly for taking up and feeding out a hose. The assembly includes a non-rotatable shaft having opposite ends, a reel for storing the hose rotatable on the shaft and a hub mounted on the shaft at one side of the reel between the reel and one end of the shaft so that the hub may be slidably applied to and removed from the shaft independent of the reel. The assembly further includes a coupling on the hub for connecting the hub and the hose. The shaft and the hub include passaging for supplying fluid to the hose. A seal is provided between the shaft and the hub adjacent to the passaging for preventing fluid leakage. The hub is releasably connected to the reel for conjoint rotation of the hub and the reel on the shaft and is disconnectable from the reel so that the hub may be removed from one end of the shaft to permit replacement of the seal without removing the reel from the shaft.
