A hydraulically powered, hose winding apparatus comprises a support and a hose reel rotatably mounted on the support. A hose is operatively coupled to the hose reel whereby the hose winds about the hose reel when the hose reel is rotated in a first direction. Rotation of the hose reel is driven by a cooperating valve mechanism and gear mechanism. The valve mechanism includes a turbine which is rotated by pressurized fluid flowing through the valve mechanism. The turbine is coupled the gear mechanism which transmits rotary motion from the turbine to the hose reel.

1. A hydraulically powered hose winding apparatus, comprising: a support;a hose reel rotatably mounted on the support;a hose coupled to the hose reel, the hose winding about the hose reel when the hose reel is rotated in a first direction;a valve mechanism having an inlet port for receiving pressurized fluid from a pressurized fluid supply, an outlet port in fluid communication with the hose, a main conduit extending between the inlet port and the outlet port, and a turbine disposed along the main conduit between the inlet port and the outlet port;a gear mechanism having a first gear coupled to the valve mechanism and a second gear coupled to the hose reel, the first gear being coupled to the turbine so that rotary motion is transmitted from the turbine to the first gear when pressurized fluid flows through the valve mechanism, and the first gear transmitting rotary motion from the turbine to the second gear when pressurized fluid flows through the valve mechanism, thereby causing the hose reel to rotate in the first direction and the hose to wind about the hose reel; anda valve member disposed in the main conduit of the valve mechanism upstream of the turbine and a gear for actuating the valve member to incrementally close the main conduit when the hose reel is rotated in the first direction, thereby restricting pressurized fluid flow past the turbine and slowing rotation of the hose reel in the first direction as the hose winds about the hose reel. 2. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the valve mechanism is housed within the support. 3. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the gear mechanism is housed within the support. 4. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the gear for actuating the valve member to incrementally close the main conduit when the hose reel is rotated in the first direction is meshed with the gear mechanism. 5. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further including a valve member disposed in the main conduit of the valve mechanism upstream of the turbine, and a lever for actuating the valve member to close the main conduit when the lever actuated. 6. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 5 wherein the lever extends outwardly of the support and the valve member closes the main conduit when the lever is pushed towards the support. 7. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the valve mechanism further includes a bypass conduit for allowing for fluid to flow around the turbine. 8. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 1 further including a gear for ensuring even winding of the hose. 9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 wherein the gear for ensuring even winding of the hose is meshed with the gear mechanism. 10. A hydraulically powered hose winding apparatus, comprising: a support;a hose reel rotatably mounted on the support;a hose coupled to the hose reel, the hose winding about the hose reel when the hose reel is rotated in a first direction;a valve mechanism having an inlet port for receiving pressurized fluid from a pressurized fluid supply, an outlet port in fluid communication with the hose, a main conduit extending between the inlet port and the outlet port, a turbine disposed along the main conduit between the inlet port and the outlet port, and first and second valve members disposed in the main conduit upstream of the turbine;a lever for actuating the first valve member to close the main conduit when the lever is actuated; anda gear mechanism having a first gear coupled to the turbine so that rotary motion is transmitted from the turbine to the first gear when pressurized fluid flows through the valve mechanism, a second gear coupled to the first gear and the hose reel wherein the first gear transmits rotary motion from the turbine to the second gear when pressurized fluid flows through the valve mechanism and causes the hose reel to rotate in the first direction and the hose to wind about the hose reel, and a third gear coupled to both the second gear and the second valve member wherein the second gear transmits motion to the third gear when the hose reel is rotated in the first direction and causes the third gear to actuate the second valve member to incrementally close the main conduit when the hose reel is rotated in the first direction, thereby restricting pressurized fluid flow past the turbine and slowing rotation of the hose reel in the first direction as the hose winds about the hose reel. 11. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 10 wherein the lever extends outwardly of the support and the valve member closes the main conduit when the lever is pushed towards the support. 12. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 10 wherein the valve mechanism further includes a bypass conduit for allowing for fluid to flow around the turbine. 13. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 12 wherein the first valve member is disposed downstream of the bypass conduit and the second valve member is disposed upstream of the bypass conduit. 14. The hose winding apparatus as claimed in claim 10 further including a gear for ensuring even winding of the hose. 15. The apparatus as claimed in claim 14 wherein the gear for ensuring even winding of the hose is a double helical gear which is meshed with the gear mechanism. 16. The apparatus as claimed in claimed in claim 14 further including a hose guide coupled to the gear for ensuring even winding of the hose. 17. The apparatus as claimed in claim 10 further including a clamp disposed along a length of the hose for actuating the lever. 18. A mechanism winding a hose about a hose reel of a hose winding apparatus, the mechanism comprising: a valve mechanism having an inlet port for receiving pressurized fluid from a pressurized fluid supply, an outlet port in fluid communication with the hose, a main conduit extending between the inlet port and the outlet port, a turbine disposed along the main conduit between the inlet port and the outlet port, first and second valve members disposed in the main conduit upstream of the turbine, and a bypass conduit for allowing for fluid to flow around the turbine wherein the first valve member is disposed downstream of the bypass conduit and the second valve member is disposed upstream of the bypass conduit;a lever for actuating the first valve member to close the main conduit when the lever is actuated; anda gear mechanism having a first gear coupled to the turbine so that rotary motion is transmitted from the turbine to the first gear when pressurized fluid flows through the valve mechanism, a second gear coupled to the first gear and the hose reel wherein the first gear transmits rotary motion from the turbine to the second gear when pressurized fluid flows through the valve mechanism and causes the hose reel to rotate in a first direction and the hose to wind about the hose reel, and a third gear coupled to both the second gear and the second valve member wherein the second gear transmits motion to the third gear when the hose reel is rotated in the first direction and causes the third gear to actuate the second valve member to incrementally close the main conduit when the hose reel is rotated in the first direction, thereby restricting pressurized fluid flow past the turbine and slowing rotation of the hose reel in the first direction as the hose winds about the hose reel. 19. The mechanism as claimed in claim 18 further including is a double helical gear which is meshed with the gear mechanism for ensuring even winding of the hose.
