HIGH SPEED WINCH REWIND ADAPTER
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.
Coiling head apparatus and system
The present invention is an apparatus, system and method for a new and improved coiling head utilized in wrapping elongated materials, which may have a zero and or near zero gap between leaves thereby reducing and or elimination indentations in the coiled elongated materials.
Blanket Rolling Device
A blanket rolling device is provided. The device is comprised of a male hitch, an axle, a vertical frame member, and a secondary axle. A construction blanket or other similar object may be placed between a first and second horizontal bar. By rotating the handle, the first and second horizontal bar rotate about the axis of the secondary axle, winding the construction blanket into a tight spiral. The axle acts as a guide to the construction blanket to smoothly roll the blanket up to the secondary axle.
Bobbin and bobbinless transport method
A linear body that may be smoothly removed from a bobbin. The bobbin includes a guide tube, a pair of flanges provided on the ends of the guide tube, and a winding drum sandwiched between the pair of flanges. One flange is removably attached to one end of the guide tube and the other flange is fixedly secured to the other end of said guide tube. The winding drum includes a plurality of split drum plates separated by a plurality of slits. A biasing mechanism for biasing each split drum plate inwardly is provided. When the detachable flange has been attached, the split drum plates are supported at both ends from the inner side thereof by supporting projections on the inner surface of each of the flanges. When the detachable flange is removed, the split drum plates move inwardly owing to the respective biasing mechanisms.

Fire hose pack roller
The fire hose pack roller includes a first embodiment where the device is held in place by a bracket positioned under a vehicle's tire and the weight of the vehicle secures the device for use or in a second embodiment where the device is removably mounted to the vehicle. The hose pack roller device includes a pair of collapsible arms that are unfolded and the fire hose is would around pegs mounted on the arms. The device further includes a set of rollers that squeezes air and water from the hose as it is wound. Once wound the hose is easily folded into a Gansner type pack for storage of the hose. The arms of the device may be folded closed such that the device forms a compact unit for storage. No external power supply is required.
Wire winding device and wire treatment system
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.
