Motorized hose reel
The motorized hose reel is a storage device. The motorized hose reel is configured for use with a hose. The motorized hose reel stores the hose. The motorized hose reel deploys the hose for use. The motorized hose reel retracts the hose for storage. The motorized hose reel comprises a hose structure, a spool structure, a control circuit, and a personal data device. The spool structure stores the hose structure. The control circuit is an electrically powered device. The control circuit deploys the hose structure from the spool structure for use. The control circuit retracts onto the spool structure for storage. The personal data device controls the operation of the control circuit.
EXPANDABLE REEL ASSEMBLY FOR A WELL SYSTEM
An expandable reel for a well system includes a support frame configured to receive a torque from a motor, and a core assembly configured to couple to the support frame and receive a tubular of the well system about an outer surface of the core assembly, wherein the core assembly is actuatable between a first configuration and a second configuration while remaining coupled to the support frame, wherein the core assembly includes a first outer diameter when in the first configuration and a second outer diameter when in the second configuration that is different from the first outer diameter.
DRAIN CLEANER
A drain cleaner includes a shroud with a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end and a drum assembly positioned within the shroud. The drum assembly is rotatable relative to the shroud. The drum assembly includes an inner drum and a drum cover extending entirely over an open forward end of the inner drum. The drain cleaner also includes a flexible cable stored within a cavity defined by the inner drum and the drum cover of the drum assembly. The flexible cable is supported by the inner drum. The drain cleaner further includes a handle assembly coupled to and extending rearwardly from the shroud. The handle assembly includes a motor, a grip, and an actuator to selectively energize the motor. The actuator is positioned in an area defined between the grip and the shroud.
SECTIONAL DRAIN CLEANER CABLE SYSTEM FOR CLEAN USE, STORAGE, AND TRANSPORT
Various storage containers are described for retaining drain cleaning cables. Storage systems utilizing the containers with a cable guide assembly are further described. Also described are methods of using the containers and systems.
CEILING MOUNTED KITCHEN FAUCET
A faucet system includes a housing assembly configured to be coupled to a ceiling structure, wherein the housing includes a mixing valve disposed therein. The faucet system further includes a hose assembly coupled to the housing assembly. The hose assembly includes a flexible hose being fluidly coupled to the mixing valve and configured to hang below the housing assembly, a rotatable arm coupled to the housing assembly, and a control knob communicably coupled to the mixing valve. The rotatable arm is configured to facilitate rotation and adjustment of the hose and the control knob configured to control at least one of a temperature or a flow of water within the faucet system.
EXPANDABLE DRUM ASSEMBLY FOR DEPLOYING COILED PIPE AND METHOD OF USING SAME
A drum assembly includes a support bar, expandable spokes extending away from the support bar, drum segments mounted to the expandable spokes, support brackets disposed on the support bar, a primary mechanical actuator extending between the support brackets, and secondary mechanical actuators extending from the support brackets.
INSTALLATION TRAILER FOR COILED FLEXIBLE PIPE AND METHOD OF UTILIZING SAME
A system includes a collapsible trailer frame and a lifting mechanism coupled to the collapsible trailer frame. The lifting mechanism is configured to raise or lower a coil of pipe or a reel of pipe. The system also includes a braking mechanism.
Mobile reel carrier
A reel carrier that includes a pallet having a platform bound by a frame and a shaft. The carrier includes a reel that is supported on the shaft. The reel includes a round drum rotatable about the shaft, wherein the rotation may be in a forward and/or a reverse or backward rotational direction. The carrier also includes a motor operably coupled to cause rotation of the drum and may be further operably coupled to cause deployment and/or retraction of one or more wheels included with the pallet, wherein the motor also controls locomotion of the one or more wheels.
HOSE REEL ACCUMULATOR DRUM
A hose and reel system that includes a reel assembly that is rotatably mounted within a housing. The reel assembly includes an accumulator drum having an inner chamber and the drum is coupled at opposite ends to disc elements. The housing can include a hose guide element for guiding a hose that is spooled about the outer surface of the drum and, if desired, a pair of mandible elements.
Low tension application coiler
The present invention is an apparatus, system, and method for a low tension application spooler and or coiler system that positively drives the material into the coil and or reel so that the tension is minimum during the winding process.
