The present invention relates to hose reels, and more specifically, to a storage device for a hose that allows a user to selectively pull a hose out to a desired length and automatically have that length returned to storage utilizing potential energy stored within a block and tackle mechanism that is charged by the pulling of the hose out of the device.
In the fully retracted position the hose is wound around a plurality of upper and lower hose guides. The guides have a plurality of rollers set apart holding the hose in an oval like configuration. When the hose is withdrawn potential energy is stored in a block and tackle device until selective release whereupon stored potential energy is exerted retracting the hose back to its original oval like winding.

Objects of the present invention:
- to provide an apparatus for dispensing and retrieving a length of hose
- to provide a storage device for a hose having a system whereby a user can selectively pull a hose out to a desired length and selectively rewind back into the storage device
- to provide an apparatus for a hose using a spring and block and tackle for storing potential energy
- to provide an apparatus for a hose wherein a block and tackle mechanism is charged by pulling the hose out of the storage device
