An apparatus for the movement of a barrel pack containing spooled wire or cable. The apparatus comprising a frame, a handle attached to the frame, a plurality of wheels rotatably attached to the frame, securing structures attached to the frame, the securing structures securing the barrel pack to the frame and a footage counting assembly attached to the handle. The footage counting assembly counts the amount of footage of wire or cable passing through the footage counting assembly.

A method manufactures a flame-retardant fiber bundle by flame retarding treatment of a polyacrylonitrile-based precursor fiber at 200-300° C. in an oxidizing atmosphere, wherein a fiber bundle is caused to travel so as to sequentially pass between an nth roller and an (n+1)th roller (n being an integer of at least 1 and no more than [m−1]) in a roller group formed from m (m being an integer of 3 or greater) contiguously set rollers, the roller axes of the m continuously set rollers being parallel to each other and perpendicular to the direction of travel of the fiber bundle, the roller diameter being 5-30 mm, and the specific gravity of the fiber bundle being 1.20-1.50.

A winding bar for manufacturing a light string including a bar-shaped body. The bar-shaped body has a cross-section presenting a rectangular pattern or a polygonal pattern. The bar-shaped body includes a plurality of sides defining a plurality of lateral surfaces, and the bar-shaped body defines a work channel extending along a longitudinal direction. The work channel communicates with two ends of the bar-shaped body.

The present disclosure relates to a collection device and a preparation system, including a pre-adjustment mechanism which is disposed in a housing and configured to adjust at least one bundle of carbon nanotube aggregates, and includes a first pre-adjustment sub-mechanism and a second pre-adjustment sub-mechanism for adjusting carbon nanotube aggregations along a first direction and a second direction, respectively; a winding mechanism for winding and collecting the carbon nanotube aggregates passing through the pre-adjustment mechanism.

A unitary fastener and cable guidance device is operable with a pulley block assembly for stringing cable across towers. The device guides a cable onto a sheave wheel of the assembly, while fastening directly to the assembly through a unitary cantilevered axle. The one-piece design comprises a pair of discs forming an annular depression there between, and a cantilevered axle extending from the outer side of one disc. This unitary configuration reduces the number of fasteners and other components. Since the cantilevered axle is the fastening mechanism, rather than a separate fastener passing through a hole through the center of the device, the minimum outer diameter of the annular depression can be smaller than the outer diameter of the cantilevered axle, allowing the central portion of the device to be smaller and thus its sides to be higher, which helps hold the cable more robustly within the device.
