Seat cable adjustment system and method
A seat assembly within an internal cabin of a vehicle includes an electrical interface housing that contains a first portion of a cable that is configured to provide one or both of electrical power or electrical signals to one or more electrical components. A cable reel rotatably coupled to a body of the electrical interface housing. The cable reel is configured to rotate about an axis. The first portion of the cable includes an adjustable coil that is coiled around the cable reel. The cable reel is rotatable in a first direction to deploy the first portion of the cable outwardly from the electrical interface housing and a second direction to retract the first portion of the cable inwardly into the electrical interface housing.
BOLLARD CORD RETRACTOR
Bollard cord retractors include a bollard having at least one hollow cavity extending through at least a portion thereof, a force retractor positioned within the hollow cavity, the force retractor including at least one of a linear force retractor or a rotational force retractor; and a retraction line attached at a first end to the force retractor and attached at a second end to a charging cord of a charger
Stackable wire-dispensing container
An apparatus for dispensing wire or cable, the apparatus including an enclosure with a top and a bottom portion and at least three side portions of a first height, a plurality of holes located in both the top and bottom portions of the enclosure, and a core of a second height located within the enclosure, wherein the core forms an area, wherein at least one of the plurality of holes has a first hole diameter and is located in the top and bottom of the enclosure and is located within the area formed by the core, and wherein the wire or cable is placed around the core.
Fliptop integrated latch
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.

Rotary Guide For One or More Lines
The invention relates to a rotary guide (1) for guiding at least one line (2) between two points (3, 4), which can be rotated relative to each other, without interruptions. Two receiving parts (12, 14) for receiving a respective sub-section of two sub-sections (29, 31), which are to be wound about the common rotational axis (X) in opposite directions, of a line section (2a), which can be received in the rotary guide (1), can be rotated relative to each other about a rotational axis (X). A deflecting unit (16) supports a deflecting region (18), in which the line section (2a) of the line (2) changes over between the opposite sub-sections (29, 31) in order to deflect the line (2) to be guided from one receiving part (12, 14) to the other receiving part (12, 14) in the event of a relative rotation. Each of the receiving parts (12, 14) has a spiral-shaped receiving groove (20, 22) with a plurality of windings (24, 26) for receiving a line section (2a), said windings running about the common rotational axis (X) from a starting radius (r.sub.a) to a final radius (r.sub.e), wherein the windings (24, 26) lie on a plane perpendicular to the common rotational axis (X). The deflecting unit (16) has an active surface (33) which extends or can be adjusted radially between the starting radius (r.sub.a) and the final radius (r.sub.e) and which interacts with the receiving grooves (20, 22) in order to transfer the line section (2a) from the receiving groove (20, 22) of the one receiving part (12, 14) to the receiving groove (20, 22) of the other receiving part (12, 14) in the event of a relative rotation.
