Cable storage and handling systems and methods
An assembly and method for deploying, retrieving, and storing a cable having a minimum bend radius onto a drum. The assembly may comprise a frame, a rotatable drum carried by the frame, a levelwind carried by the frame, and a powertrain. The levelwind may comprise a rail spanning at least the width of the drum, and a traversable carriage carried by the rail. The levelwind may also comprise a cable guide carried by the carriage, where the cable guide comprises an elongated chute having contoured walls. The contoured walls of the chute include no bends having a radius less than the minimum bend radius of the cable. The powertrain may be operatively connected to rotate the drum about the drum axis and traverse the carriage along the rail. In some examples, the contoured walls of the chute are coated with a supplmentary coating.

SCARF-JOINT STRUCTURE FOR THE PAPER TUBE OF A FILM DISPENSER
A scarf-joint structure for the paper tube of a film dispenser is mounted in a film dispenser, which includes a frame connected with a film installation unit and an adjustment unit. The film installation unit is installed with a film roll and consists of a first positioning member and a second positioning member. The adjustment unit is formed with an operating part and a connecting part, and the operating part is connected with an adjusting member, which is threadably fixed with a screw fastener and further, an elastic member is mounted between the operating part and the connecting part. Thus, the film roll, the first positioning member and a second positioning member can be rotated synchronously, able to prevent the film roll from running idle, causing dislocation and falling off.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A FLEXIBLE PIPE CONTAINMENT SLED
A flexible pipe containment sled includes a platform and a first sled portion coupled to a bottom surface of the platform. The first sled portion is disposed at a first side of the platform. The sled also includes a second sled portion coupled to the bottom surface of the platform. The second sled portion is disposed at a second side of the platform opposite to the first side of the platform. The sled also includes a passage formed between the first and second sled portions. The passage is configured to allow a flexible pipe to pass through the passage while the flexible pipe containment sled is placed on a surface.
