This device disclosed herein can allow portable and efficient rolling and storage of hand wraps, gauze, bandage wraps and ties. In one non-limiting example, the case can be used for athletes in the sport of boxing to neatly roll and store their boxing hand wraps after use. In one non-limiting example, the device can incorporate a manual spindle and reel while another can incorporate a battery and motor to rotate spindle. The case can be incorporated into many different types of materials. Preferred embodiments of this wrap case and roller device and methods of use are disclosed herein.

An edge tape cassette for receiving edge tapes comprising a cassette housing, in which a winding core is arranged, which fixedly holds an edge tape that is existent as a container in the form of a wound-up roll. Furthermore, the edge tape cassette additionally has a receiving element, which is rotatable mounted in the edge tape cassette, and to which the winding core is attached, in particular in a detachable manner.

A winding apparatus includes a wire position support including a first feeder including a first wire route hole in which a first wire is inserted and a second feeder including a second wire route hole in which a second wire is inserted, and a winding driver that orbitally revolves the wire position support around a core. The wire position support includes a regulator that regulates movement of the first wire and the second wire such that, when the wire position support revolves orbitally around the core, such that the first wire passes on an opening end surface from which the second wire is fed in the second wire route hole while the second wire passes on an opening end surface from which the first wire is fed in the first wire route hole. Accordingly, the wires are prevented from being entangled in the wire position support.

The invention relates to a tape element dispenser system containing a container having an opening and is configured to enclose a volume. The system also contains a single elongated tape element having a width and a height where the width is at least 5 times the height. The tape element has two ends rotationally wound in a first direction into a hollow cylinder having a central axis, the hollow having two parallel annular bases perpendicular to the central axis and the single elongated element is unwound from the hollow cylinder from one of the annular bases approximately parallel to the central axis. The single elongated element has a twist in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The opening of the container comprises a main slit having a width of at least about 105% the width of the single elongated tape element.

A leash including a housing, a reel assembly rotatably coupled to the housing, and a tether coupled to the reel assembly. The reel assembly includes a tether wheel coupled to the tether, and rotatable relative to the housing in a first rotational direction to effectuate extension of the tether, and rotatable in a second rotational direction to effectuate retraction of the tether. A hard stop gear is coupled to the tether wheel, and a soft stop gear is rotatably coupled to the hard stop gear. A dampening spring is coupled to the soft stop gear and the hard stop gear to impart a biasing force on the soft stop gear as it rotates relative to the hard stop gear. A soft stop lever is operatively coupled to the soft stop gear and is configured to selectively restrict rotation of the soft stop gear relative to the housing.

A restriction device for preventing deformation of restriction plate of reel is disclosed. The restriction device includes a first circular restrictor, a second circular restrictor, a block member and a first push member. A clamping space exists between the first and second circular restrictors mounted on a shaft and is configured to accommodate a reel mounted on the shaft. The second circular restrictor is able to be moved on the shaft in an axial direction, the block member is fixed on the shaft and the first push member is placed between the block member and the second circular restrictor. The first push member is configured to apply a force to push the second circular restrictor toward the first circular restrictor to press a first restriction plate of the reel such that the deformation of the first restriction plate is prevented.

A tape reel supporting device includes a plurality of shaft members and a plurality of roller members. The plurality of shaft members extend to be parallel to each other in a horizontal direction. The plurality of roller members are provided to be externally fitted into each of the plurality of shaft members, and each of two inclined surfaces inclined to an axis of each shaft member abuts on an outer peripheral edge of each of a pair of disk members. The two inclined surfaces provided on each of the plurality of roller members are inclined in directions opposite to each other in a direction along an axis of each shaft member on which the roller member is provided.

A multi-step reel includes a first hub flange having a first arbor hole and a first platform area located outwardly from the first arbor hole. The first platform area has at least a first and second hub platform, each having a first and second depth dimension, respectively. A first outer flange area extends outwardly from the first platform area. A second hub flange has the identical elements as the first hub flange. One of the first and a second hub platforms of the first hub flange may be positioned adjacent to one of the first and second hub platforms of the second hub flange, defining a width dimension. A locking mechanism may be used to secure the first and second hub flanges together. One or more clips may be used to maintain the desired width dimension between the first and second outer flanges areas.

An improved winding apparatus and system for winding strips of web materials.
