Air hose holder
First Claim
1. An air hose holding device, particularly adapted to hold various types and sizes of hoses, comprising:
- a bracket;
said bracket having a base;
said bracket having a support extending from said base;
a plurality of nail holes distributed in said base;
said support having two apertures;
a lower aperture and an upper aperture;
said lower aperture being larger in diameter than the upper aperture and being rounded and polished to a smooth finish to reduce friction; and
an adjustable slip latch having a longitudinal oval aperture and is centrally located within said slip latch mounted parallel and lies along said support, above said lower aperture and through said upper aperture with a lock nut which passes through said upper aperture of said support and through said longitudinal oval aperture of said slip latch, whereby the only function of said slip latch is to be moveably engaged over a hose.

Abstract
Disclosed is an air hose holding device, particularly useful to people using air hoses while working on roof tops. During use, the base of the device is fixed to a mounting surface, such as a roof, with as few as two nails. The hose is then passed through an aperture in the device. An adjustable slip latch mounted above the aperture has a half-circle cut into it. By moving and fixing the adjustable slip latch closer to or farther away from the aperture, the adjustable slip latch covers more or less of the aperture, and the half-circle completes the circular shape of the aperture to make the aperture smaller or larger. Thus, different size hoses may be held in place with the single device. The device need only be mounted once for an entire job, since the hose may be pulled through and held at different lengths within the aperture of the device, by simply adjusting the slip latch. Upon completion of the work, the nails fixing the device to the mounting surface easily slip through quick release nail holes, and the two nails may then be driven into the surface or removed. Also disclosed is a kit containing the air hose holder, an air gun and an air hose which would be sold together.

8. An air hose holding device, particularly adapted to hold various types and sizes of hoses, comprising:
-
a bracket; said bracket having a planar base, said base being rectangular in shape; said bracket having a planar support, said support being rectangular in shape and extending at an angle α
from said base;a plurality of nail holes distributed in said base; said support having an upper and a lower aperture; said lower aperture is rounded and polished to a smooth finish to reduce friction caused by the air hose being pulled though said lower aperture; a planar adjustable slip latch mounted parallel to and along said support through said upper aperture; said slip latch having a longitudinal oval aperture centrally located within said slip latch; said slip latch being held in place with a lock nut that passes through said slip latch and through said upper aperture; said slip latch having a half-circle shape cut into it at its end nearest said lower aperture;
such that said half-circle shape changes said aperture size by completing said aperture'"'"'s circular shape; andsaid half-circle shape is rounded and polished to a smooth finish to reduce friction caused by the air hose being pulled through said slip latch.

9. A kit for holding air hoses, particularly adapted to hold various types and sizes of hoses securely on a mounting surface, comprising:
-
a bracket; said bracket having base; said bracket having a support extending at an angle α
from said base;a plurality of nail holes distributed in said base; a plurality of nails, which when inserted in said nail holes, secure said base to said mounting surface; said support having an upper and a lower aperture; said lower aperture having a circular shape and a circumference; said lower aperture having friction reducing means about said circumference; an air hose having a tubular shape and a cross-sectional circumference less than said lower aperture circumference; said air hose, having a proximal end, which when inserted in said lower aperture, said air hose may move freely through said lower aperture; an adjustable slip latch, which when movably mounted through said upper aperture on said support may adjust said lower aperture size and may hold said air hose in said lower aperture at a fixed position; and a nail gun for connection with said proximal end of said air hose after said air hose is inserted in said lower aperture. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
