Hose attachment storage apparatus

Abstract

A storage apparatus for the storage of garden hose attachments. The storage apparatus comprises an elongated trunk member that includes at least one branch member having a portion that extends in non-parallel relation with the trunk member and a portion configured for insertion into an end of a garden hose attachment for supportably storing the garden hose attachment on the at least one branch member. The storage apparatus may also further include one or more attachment apparatus for securing the trunk member to a structure such as the surface of the earth, a fence, a tree, a wall, etc.

1 . A storage apparatus for the storage of garden hose attachments, the apparatus comprising:

       2 . The storage apparatus of  claim 1  comprising: 
 a plurality of branch members, wherein at least a first portion of each of the plurality of branch members extends in non-parallel relation from the trunk member and wherein a second portion of each of the plurality of branch members is configured for insertion into an end of the garden hose attachment for supportably storing the garden hose attachment thereon.    
   
   
       3 . The storage apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the second portion of the at least one branch member extends from the first portion of the at least one branch member in parallel relation with the trunk member.  
   
   
       4 . The storage apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one branch member is connectable to the trunk member in a detachable manner.  
   
   
       5 . The storage apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the at least one branch member is connectable to the trunk member at a plurality of vertical positions along the trunk member.  
   
   
       6 . The storage apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the attachment apparatus comprises a tapered end to facilitate driving the trunk member into the surface of the earth.  
   
   
       7 . The storage apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the attachment apparatus comprises a plurality of apertures, wherein each of the plurality of apertures is configured to receive a respective one of a plurality of fasteners for securing the trunk member to at least one of a wall, a fence, and a tree.  
   
   
       8 . The storage apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the attachment apparatus comprises one of a loop and a hook configured to receive a fastener for securing the trunk member to at least one of a wall, a fence, and a tree.  
   
   
       9 . A storage apparatus for storage of garden hose attachments, the apparatus comprising: 
 an elongated trunk member;    at least one mounting peg extending outward from the trunk member, wherein the at least one mounting peg is configured for insertion into a female end of a garden hose attachment for supportably storing the garden hose attachment on the at least one mounting peg; and    an attachment apparatus for securing the trunk member to a structure.    
   
   
       10 . The storage apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the at least one branch member is connectable to the trunk member in a detachable manner.  
   
   
       11 . The storage apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the plurality of branch members are connectable to the trunk member at a plurality of vertical positions along the trunk member.  
   
   
       12 . The storage apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the attachment apparatus comprises a tapered end to facilitate driving the trunk member into the surface of the earth.  
   
   
       13 . The storage apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the attachment apparatus comprises a plurality of apertures, wherein each of the plurality of apertures is configured to receive a respective one of a plurality of fasteners for securing the trunk member to at least one of a wall, a fence, and a tree.  
   
   
       14 . The storage apparatus of  claim 9  wherein the attachment apparatus comprises one of a loop and a hook configured to receive a fastener for securing the trunk member to at least one of a wall, a fence, and a tree.
