Reeling system for long fire hose on fire engine

摘要

The reeling system consists of a mobile chassis (5) carrying the reel (6), which turns about an axis (7). It is equipped with a guide pipe (11) which has one end (12) lying perpendicular to the reel axis and the other (13) lying parallel to a vertical containing the axis plane. The guide pipe is mounted on a carriage (14) set on the chassis and able to slide along an axis (16) parallel to that of the reel in a reciprocating motion between two positions in which the first end (12) of the pipe faces the two ends of the reel. The reel axis lies horizontally, and the second end (13) of the guide pipe is divergent and angled obliquely downwards.
