An anti-misuse system for a sheet dispenser having a roll of sheet material and a housing to receive the roll. The anti-misuse system includes an end portion of a roll incorporating a first projection and a corresponding end wall portion of the housing comprising a retracting portion incorporating an interacting mechanism. The retracting portion is movable between a deployed position in which the interacting mechanism affects the functionality of the sheet dispenser and a retracted position in which the interacting mechanism enables the sheet dispenser to be functional. The retracting portion further incorporates an abutment drivable by the projection upon insertion of the roll into the housing to move the retracting portion into the retracted position.

An adapter for readily changing out and mounting cable reels having a central opening in a transport device, such as a dolly, includes a pair of male portions, each having a body having a projection extending therefrom. The projections have at least one high spot. A pair of female portions are configured for mating with the male portions and have at least one recess for receiving the male portions' projections. A pair of fasteners secure the respective male and female portions to each other. An axle extends between the male or female portions, through the reel central opening and the male or female portions are positioned on ends of the axle. The reel with the axle and the male or female portions is positioned in the reel trolley, with the male or female portions mated with the others of the male or female portions and the fasteners are installed between the respective male and female portions to secure the reel in the trolley.

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.
