I have invented a new automatic hose management system for Class 8 semi trucks. This is not simply a hose reel. The invention stores and automatically retracts two standard rubber air hoses inside a durable polymer enclosure that sits on the tractor catwalk. The product must: Automatically retract hose slack using an internal spring system. Allow unrestricted hose extension during trailer turns and coupling. Keep both hoses fully enclosed and protected. Use continuous air flow through rotary swivel fittings. Minimize friction and hose wear. Include a low-friction hose exit guide using rollers or another engineered solution. Be compatible with existing rubber glad-hand air hoses. Sit on the catwalk instead of hanging from the back of the cab. I already have concept sketches and reference images. I need an engineer to solve the internal mechanism and create a manufacturable design suitable for prototyping and eventual patent drawings. Deliverables Engineering review of concept Internal mechanism design Cross-sectional design Exploded assembly 3D CAD model Manufacturing drawings Bill of Materials (BOM) Prototype recommendations Suggestions for springs, bearings, swivels and rollers

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer with over 14 years of experience, including significant expertise in product design, I am perfectly suited to solve the mechanical problems presented by your innovative automatic hose management system. I bring to the table not just design skills, but an ability to think cross-functionally - every decision I make takes into account its impact on manufacturability, structural integrity and the overall system. My command over leading software such as SolidWorks and AutoCAD enables me to deliver precise 2D drawings and clean CAD files essential for minimizing production waste. But let's not stop at that; my skill-set extends into simulation as well. I can use ANSYS and SolidWorks Simulation to provide you virtual insights into thermal, fluid and structural performance of our designs even before a physical prototype is built - thus saving crucial resources. My real-world approach underscores everything I do: if a design doesn't account for manufacturability or effective installation, it's not good enough. My clients value my speed without any compromise on engineering rigor, which means you can trust me with your project timeline.

The hard problem in your system is the rotary union: maintaining continuous airflow through a pressurized swivel while the spool retracts under spring load, with dual hoses that extend independently during turns. Solve that joint and the rest, constant-force spring sizing, roller exit guides, enclosure, follows cleanly. That's the engineering I do. My approach: engineering review of your sketches first, then mechanism design, likely a constant-force spring per spool for flat retraction tension across full extension (power springs ramp up and accelerate hose wear), dynamic-sealed rotary unions rated for brake-line pressure, and a roller exit guide angled for catwalk geometry and glad-hand compatibility. Deliverables as listed: cross-sections, exploded assembly, parametric Fusion 360 CAD, manufacturing drawings, BOM with spring/bearing/swivel/roller specs, and prototype route. Patent-drawing-ready geometry. What's your working pressure and hose spec?

Hello, Your concept is both innovative and mechanically challenging, and I'd be excited to help transform it into a production-ready, patent-friendly design I have experience in mechanical product development, CAD assembly design, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) using SolidWorks. Based on your concept sketches and reference images, I'll engineer a reliable internal mechanism that automatically manages dual rubber air hosesens uring smooth extension, controlled spring retraction, continuous airflow through rotary swivel joints, and minimal hose wear. The design will be optimized for installation on the tractor catwalk while remaining durable, serviceable, and suitable for prototype manufacturing. The final package will include a complete engineering review, internal mechanism design, cross-sectional views, exploded assembly, fully parametric 3D CAD model, manufacturing drawings, BOM, and prototype recommendations. I'll also recommend suitable constant-force springs, bearings, rotary air swivels, rollers, low-friction hose guides, and fastening methods to maximize reliability and service life. Throughout the project, I'll focus on simplifying manufacturing, reducing part count where possible, and creating documentation that can support both prototyping and future patent illustration
