A selectively deployable cable management device for organizing cables includes a plurality of panels, the panels of which are selectively stackable into a stowed configuration so that a volume of the plurality of panels is minimized. The panels are selectively interconnectable to form a box. A power distribution device, such as a power strip, can be positioned in an interior space defined by the box. Each of a plurality of apertures is positioned in a front facet or respective opposed end facet of the box. The apertures vent the interior space and are used for extension of a power cable from the power distribution device to a source of electrical current and for insertion of a power cord extending to an electronic device to connect and operationally engage the electronic device to the power distribution device.

Cable handling devices, methods, and systems for securing and deploying or retracting one or more cables or hoses into or out of a pipe or cavity allowing inspection of the pipe or cavity. In an exemplary embodiment, a hand-held device with a housing for at least partially enclosing one or more cables or hoses, at least one coupling mechanism integrally attached to the housing, and a coupling control for coupling and decoupling the one or more cables or hoses is provided. The cable handling device and the one or more cables or hoses can be coupled and moved together, or decoupled enabling the cable handling device and the one or more cables or hoses to move independently of each other. One or more of the cables may be connected to a camera for facilitating inspection of a pipe or cavity.

A cable supply system includes a cable supply device supplying a cable, a cable buffer device storing a portion of the cable supplied from the cable supply device, and a control device controlling a cable storage amount of the cable buffer device. The control device controls the cable storage amount of the cable buffer device according to a cable supply speed of the cable supply device such that a cable output speed output from the cable buffer device is equal to a predetermined speed.

A winding mechanism includes a housing, an inner cylinder and a wire. The housing is formed with an accommodating space therein. An inner surface of the housing is formed with an internal thread structure. The inner cylinder is disposed in the accommodating space and defines a central axis. An outer surface of the inner cylinder is formed with an external thread structure. The external thread structure is cooperated with the internal thread structure. The inner cylinder is capable of displacing along the central axis by rotating relative to the housing. The external thread structure includes at least two contact portions and at least two non-contact portions, and gaps are formed between the non-contact portions of the external thread structure and the internal thread structure. An end of the wire is connected to the inner cylinder and is wound along the external thread structure of the inner cylinder.

A portable interface system including an interface device, in particular a sensor device, and a base part, wherein the base part includes an attachment area for the interface device and a retraction device, wherein the retraction device is attached to the interface device and is designed to move the interface device into a predefined holding position in the attachment area, wherein the interface device is detachably fixed without tools in the holding position in the attachment area.

A cable reel transport device includes a chassis, a rolling assembly operably connected to the chassis, and a drive assembly coupled to the rolling assembly to drive the rolling assembly. A cable reel transport system includes a cable reel having a spool, a first end flange and a second end flange, the spool extending between the first end flange and the second end flange, and a transport device operably connected to each of the first end flange and the second end flange. Each transport device includes a chassis, a rolling assembly operably connected to the chassis, and a drive assembly coupled to the rolling assembly to drive the rolling assembly.

A wire-winding device comprising: an upper cover having a bottom surface and a slot deviating from a center of the bottom surface; a rotary base having an annular track on a top surface thereof, the annual track and the slot of the upper cover constituting an orbit; a spiral spring received in the rotary base; a transmission line winding around the rotary base; a lower cover assembled with the upper cover; and an elastic positioning element having a base and a positioning part extruding from the lower surface of the base, the base having an elastic part and a respective fixed part at each of two ends thereof, the elastic positioning element being moveable along the orbit in response to a rotational movement of the rotary base to avoid the transmission line to be tied a knot.
