An integrated latching mechanism includes a slider button. At least one curved elastic arm extends from the slider button and is configured such that in response to an external force urging the slider button in a first direction, the curved elastic arm is distorted such that upon removal of the external force, the curved elastic arm moves the slider button in a direction opposite to the first direction. A locking part is contiguous with the slider button and extends away from the slider button. In response to the external force urging the slider button in the first direction, the locking part moves in the first direction, and upon removal of the external force, the curved elastic arm moves the locking part in the direction opposite to the first direction. The at least one curved elastic arm, the slider button, and the locking part form a single piece of elastic material.

A smart cord reel cable including at least one sensor for measuring cord or cord reel usage, a memory for receiving sensor input to create usage records, and a processor for analyzing the usage records to provide information for maintenance status indication and/or usage analytics.

A pet tractor includes a housing with a handle formed thereon; a turntable rotatably disposed in the housing; a hauling rope coiled on the turntable, with the housing provided with a rope hole for drawing out the hauling rope, the handle being provided with a button partially exposed out of the housing; a guide sleeve, fixed in the housing, provided inside with a guide hole extending along the radial direction of the turntable; a tab, in linkage with the button, slidably arranged in the guide hole of the guide sleeve, with a return spring connected between the tab and the guide sleeve; and a plurality of circumferentially spaced teeth, engaging with the tab, are formed circumferentially around the turntable.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a flexible cord management device is provided. The device includes a helical coil base, an s-loop, and a post. The base can be wrapped around at least a portion of a bundled cord. The s-loop includes a first loop and a second loop, where the first loop is coupled to a first end of the base. The first loop can be opened to receive a first end of the bundled cord, such that, the first end of the bundled cord is securely disposed through the first loop. The second loop is coupled to the first loop. The post extends from the first end of the base and can be inserted through the second loop to secure the first loop in a closed position and removed from the second loop to enable the first loop to achieve an open position.

A flat cable reel device includes a housing, a rotary sleeve, an upper spiral spring and a lower spiral spring. The housing is provided with a board outlet. The reel device includes the upper spiral spring, the lower spiral spring, an upper central shaft and a lower central shaft, which form a symmetrical and balanced double-spring structure; when a flexible printed circuit board is reeled or unreeled, the force and the reaction force generated by the springs are evenly distributed over the upper portion and the lower portion of the rotary sleeve, such that the rotary sleeve can balance.

A reel assembly (10) having a spool (20) comprising a drum core (22) and side disc flanges (24) attached to the drum core (22) for retaining a wound hose (26) on the spool (20), and a release mechanism (120) operatively engaging the spool (20) via a drive shaft (110). The release mechanism (120) has a pair of rotatable hubs (132, 134) arranged in axial alignment and having a clamping spring (136) fitted around the rotatable hubs (132, 134) and arranged to clamp the hubs (132, 134) together in fixed rotational relation, wherein the clamping spring (136) opens to releases the rotatable hubs (132, 134) when the spool (20) is rotated in a payout direction so that the rotatable hubs (132, 134) disengage and the spool (20) can freewheel.

A device is provided for unfurling and refurling comprising at least one tape spring having an axis of unfurling and of refurling parallel to an axis X and a rotor capable of rotating about an axis Y perpendicular to the axis X, the tape spring being able, autonomously, to pass from a state in which it is wound around the rotor to an unwound state. The tape spring is mounted bent in two in the shape of a U and comprises a first end fixed rigidly to a first anchor point that may be secured to a stator or to the rotor and a second end wound around the rotor.
