The invention relates to a cable fixing device for a container handling system and to a method for setting a minimum bending radius for a connecting cable of a container handling system. The cable fixing device comprises a main body, a cable guide which is arranged around a part of the main body, and a cover for covering an end of the cable guide in such a way that a connecting cable, which is pre-assembled with plug-in devices at both ends, can be introduced between the cover and the cable guide. The cable guide is configured at its other end for fixing of the connecting cable in such a way that a looping angle of the cable fixing device and connecting cable can be set variably.

Provided is a charging station of a mobile robotic device including a main housing with an opening; a signal receiver coupled to the main housing for receiving signals from a transmitter of the mobile robotic device; an electrical plug coupled to the main housing to connect to a power supply; and one or more electrical elements electrically coupling the electrical plug to the charging cable; wherein the charging station detects the mobile robotic device approaching for charging when the mobile robotic device is within a range of the signal receiver of the charging station and the signal receiver of the charging station receives signals transmitted from the transmitter of the mobile robotic device.

Provided is a reel for a conductor of an electric fence. The reel includes a bobbin, a frame for supporting the bobbin, and a connector. The connector can be two jaws and can have passages to connect the reel to a support such as a conductor of an existing fence or a tube of a vehicle. One of the jaws can be wide for stability. The connector can have an electrical conductor for connecting to the support and electrifying the conductor. The connector can also be operated by a trigger and can have a locking mechanism. The frame can be a one-piece frame made of plastics material. The reel can have a spreader and a hot-up bar. The reel can have a crank that can be disengaged from the bobbin and a brake that is applied when the crank is disengaged.

The invention is directed to an improved outlet assembly that provides at least one standard electrical socket in addition to one or more retractable charging cables. Most homes and buildings currently use wall outlets having only AC sockets. Advantageously, the disclosed outlet assembly also includes access to one or more retractable charging cables. Each cable is operably connected to a port configured on the interior of the assembly. Assembly therefore conveniently provides one or more retractable cables that allow a variety of mobile devices to be charged. Advantageously, the user does not need a separate cable, adapter, charger, and/or power supply.

A system and method for degassing cables, such as e.g. High-Voltage Alternative Current (HVAC) or High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) cables, where the system has a reel having a perforated cylinder wall and sealing elements adapted to seal off the inner space of the reel, a gas duct in fluid connection with the inner space, and a source of pressurised and heated gas fluidly connected to the gas duct. The method incudes winding a cable onto the reel and blow heated and pressurised gas into the inner space of the reel/cylinder.

A swivel mount assembly for rotational mounting of an electronic device to a mounting structure includes a rotatable body inserted, in part, into an opening in the mounting structure and rotatable about an axis extending through the mounting structure opening. A plate part above the mounting structure has an opening that opens into the mounting structure opening. A sidewall is joined at one end to the plate part and has a side aperture formed therein. A roller is disposed in the opening in the plate part and directs a cable extending through the opening in the mounting structure to further pass through the side aperture. A hold/release mechanism, disposed above the plate part, holds the cable and prevents its movement when the hold/release mechanism is in a first setting, and releases the cable and permits its movement when the hold/release mechanism is in a second setting.
