The present invention discloses an equipment for winding medical tubing, employing automated, sequentially-arranged workstations (1, 5, 7) capable of operating simultaneously, comprising one or more conveying units (2), one or more bending units (3) for arranging medical tubing (10) in a U shape, one or more loading units (4), one or more winding stations (5) for winding medical tubing (10), one or more unloading units (6) and, optionally, one or more packaging units (7).

A power cord handling device and a method to adjust a power cord extending from a device are provided. A frame assembly may include a base supporting a device receiving area to receive a device. A wheel assembly may be adapted to facilitate coiling of a power cord extending from the device when the device is disposed in the device receiving area. The wheel assembly may include a protrusion member. The protrusion member may include one or more slots. A controller may be configured to control a wheel assembly motor. Guide arms may be adapted to receive one or more second portions of the power cord extending from the device and to guide the power cord during a power cord handling operation. The controller may be configured to cause the wheel assembly to perform a power cord handling operation.

A coiler for producing tighter or smaller coils of dunnage uses a cam to move fork pins from a dunnage-receiving position inwardly to a more closely-spaced coiling position. The fork pins are coupled to pin mounts that cooperate with the cam and slots in a guide plate to move the parallel fork pins between the dunnage-receiving and coiling positions. The fork pins are mounted to extend perpendicular to and through the guide plate on opposing sides of a path of the dunnage to capture and wind a dunnage strip into a coil.

A system (15) for manufacturing a reinforcing element (1) for reinforced concrete comprises a feeder (16) of a reinforcing fiber bundle (2) along a pultrusion path (4), an impregnating device (17) which impregnates the reinforcing fiber bundle (2) with a liquid thermoplastic polymeric resin (6) to obtain an impregnated fiber bundle (2), a forming channel (8) through which the impregnated fiber bundle (2) is conducted, a solidification device (19) of the composite thread (9) forming a solidified thermoplastic fiber-reinforced bar (11), a pulling device (20) which holds the reinforcing fiber bundle (2) taut along the pultrusion path (4), a winder (21) which winds the solidified bar (11) to form a coil (14), a provisional bending device (22) which bends the composite thread (9) not yet solidified or heats the solidified bar (11) to soften it, bends the heated bar (11) and then cools the bar (11) to solidify it again, so as to confer a continuous provisional curvature to the solidified bar (11) in the direction of the subsequent winding in the coil (14).

A binding material winding device for winding binding material from an object tied with said binding material comprises a guiding member and a winding member. The binding material is e.g. a strap, wire or string. The guiding member is arranged to be introduced with the binding material and configured to guide said binding material towards said winding member. The winding member is configured to be introduced with said binding material during actuation of said winding member and thereby wind and remove said binding material via said actuation.

This disclosure describes a high speed winch rewind adapter for quickly rewinding a loading strap. In one implementation, the adapter includes a body having a volume sized to at least partially surround an annular end of the winch. The annular end is coupled with a ratchet mechanism of the winch and having at least one hole for receiving a winch bar. A drive connector is positioned both within the volume of the body and external to the volume of the body, the drive connector external to the volume of the body having an external profile to receive a torque, and the drive connector within the volume of the body insertable into the annular end of the winch for alignment to the axis of rotation. A coupling mechanism synchronizes the drive connector to the annular end such that both the drive connector and the annular end rotate simultaneously.

A rotary body including a drum and a wire support member winds a wire by rotation. A spacer is provided on the rotary body and is displaceable to a first position and a second position in the rotary body. When the spacer is in the first position, the wire is wound on the rotary body not via the spacer, and hence the wire is wound with the first diameter. When the spacer is in the second position, position, the wire is wound on the rotary body via the spacer, and hence the wire is wound with a second diameter larger than the first diameter.

A winding device capable of easily winding an electric wire and a method of manufacturing a spiral electric wire are provided. The electric wire delivered by the delivery device is guided by the guide device toward the center portion of the projecting portion. The projecting portion of the winding device has an inclined surface whose outer diameter increases toward the base portion from the tip end on its outer peripheral surface. As a result, the electric wire can be wound around the projecting portion by utilizing the force of the delivery device, and the electric wire can be easily wound up.
