Title: Home fire extinguishing system
Claims: I claim: 1. A fire extinguishing system comprising: a rotary connector having a fixed end and a rotary end of defining a water passage passing axially out of said rotary end; a bearing; a hose reel rotatably mounted between said rotary end of said rotary connector and said bearing, said reel comprising an axle extending between said rotary connector and said bearing, a pair of sidewalls positioned on said axle, said sidewalls defining apertures through which said axle passes, and means to maintain said sidewalls in spaced parallel relationship on said axle perpendicular thereto; said axle resting directly upon said sidewalls at said apertures and being unattached to said sidewalls and said means to maintain said sidewalls in spaced parallel relationship; said axle comprising a waterflow connector positioned between said sidewalls and a pipe section extending between said waterflow connector and said rotary connector through one of said sidewalls, said waterflow connector having a radially extending leg, said means to maintain said sidewalls in spaced parallel relation on said axle comprising a pair of rigid linear members extending between and fixed to said sidewalls and positioned adjacent to said axle and adjacent to and on opposite sides of said radially extending leg of said waterflow connector, said side wall being rotatable relative to said axle except as constrained by said rigid linear member a hose; a hose connected to said radially extending leg and wound upon said reel between said sidewalls; said axle defining a water passageway between said rotary connector and said hose; and means to supply water under pressure through said rotary connector, said pipe section, and said waterflow connector to said hose. 2. A fire extinguishing system as recited in claim 1, wherein there is no attachment between said axle and the assembly of said sidewalls and said means to maintain said sidewalls in spaced parallel relationship on said axle. 3. A fire extinguishing system comprising: a rotary connector having a fixed end and a rotary end and defining a water passage passing axially out of said rotary end; a bearing; a hose reel rotatably mounted between said rotary end of said rotary connector and said bearing, said reel comprising an axle extending between said rotary connector and said bearing, a pair of sidewalls positioned on said axle, and means to maintain said sidewalls in spaced parallel relationship on said axle perpendicular thereto; said axle comprising a waterflow connector positioned between said sidewalls and a pipe section extending between said waterflow connector and said rotary connector through one of said sidwalls, said waterflow connector having a radially extending leg, said means to maintain said sidewalls in spaced parallel relation on said axle comprising a pair of rigid linear members extending between and fixed to said sidewalls and positioned adjacent to said axle on opposite sides of said radially extending leg of said waterflow connector; a hose connected to said radially extending leg and wound upon said reel between said rotary connector and said hose; and means to supply water under pressure through said rotary connector, said pipe section, and said waterflow connector to said hose; said rigid members comprising a pair of bolts and said means to maintain said sidewalls in spaced parallel relationship on said axle further comprising a pair of sleeves, one on each of said bolts extending between said sidewalls and crossbars fixing said sleeves together extending between said sleeves on opposite sides of the radially extending leg of said waterflow connector. 4. A fire extinguishing system as recited in claim 3, wherein said waterflow connector comprises a T-connector and wherein said axle further comprises a second pipe section extending between said bearing and said T-connector and a cap closing said second pipe section. 5. A fire extinguishing system as recited in claim 3, wherein said sidewalls comprise round steel plates with apertures in the middle thereof through which said axle passes. 6. A fire extinguishing system as recited in claim 5, wherein no attachment is provided between said plates and said axle.
