Hose mount

Abstract

A hose mount includes a hose housing, a swivel device, and a brace. The swivel device supports the hose housing and the brace supports the swivel device.

1 . A hose mount comprising: 
 a hose housing,    a swivel device supporting the hose housing, and    a brace supporting the swivel device.    
   
   
       2 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the brace includes a quick detachment means.  
   
   
       3 . The hose mount of  claim 2 , wherein the quick detachment means comprises a C-clamp, spring clamp or bar clamp which can be manually operated without power tools.  
   
   
       4 . The hose mount of  claim 3 , wherein said swivel device is operable in at least two planes.  
   
   
       5 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein said swivel device comprises a rotational member, an elastic member, a coiled cable or a spooled cable.  
   
   
       6 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , further comprising a light source.  
   
   
       7 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel device includes a rotational member swivelly mounted within an aperture of said brace.  
   
   
       8 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the hose housing comprises a saddle housing having a tubular member including a first and second open end.  
   
   
       9 . The hose mount of  claim 8 , wherein the first and second ends of the saddle housing have a larger diameter than a central portion of said saddle housing.  
   
   
       10 . The hose mount of  claim 8 , wherein the tubular member has a convex side wall portion.  
   
   
       11 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the hose housing comprises a roller structure.  
   
   
       12 . The hose mount of  claim 11 , wherein the roller structure includes a housing and at least one roller attached to the housing.  
   
   
       13 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel device and the hose housing are fixed.  
   
   
       14 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel device and the hose housing can move relative to one another.  
   
   
       15 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel device includes a ring attachment which encircles a portion of the brace.  
   
   
       16 . The hose mount of  claim 1 , wherein the swivel device is capable of rotating about 180°-360°.  
   
   
       17 . A method of employing a hose used for delivering blown insulation comprising: 
 clamping a hose mount to an elevated solid structure, said hose mount including a hose housing, a swivel device supporting the hose housing, and a brace supporting the swivel device; and    inserting a hose through a hose housing of the hose mount, so that said hose becomes less encumbered during said delivery of blown insulation.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 17 , further including using the hose to blow loose fill insulation into a cavity of a building.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the elevated solid structure is a rafter or truss.  
   
   
       20 . A system for blowing insulation into a building cavity comprising: 
 a hose housing having a first and second open end,    a swivel device supporting the hose housing,    a brace supporting the swivel device, and    an insulation hose inserted through the first and second end of the hose housing.
