Strap winding and storage device
A strap winding a storage device that is configured to store both a strap and a securing device, such as a ratchet, in a convenient and transportable manner.
Hose Coiling Device
A hose coiling device is provided. The hose coiling device includes an elongated shaft having an upper end and a lower end. An offset handle extends from the elongated shaft. A grip is affixed to the upper end, and a connector is disposed on the lower end. The connector removably secures one of a plurality of interchangeable tool heads thereto, wherein the plurality of interchangeable tool heads includes at least a flat hose coiling tool head and a garden hose coiling tool head. The flat hose coiling tool head includes a base removably securable to the connector, wherein the base includes a first prong and a second prong extending therefrom. The first prong is disposed parallel to the second prong. The garden hose coiling tool head includes a U-shaped member removably securable to the connector having at lest one platform extending perpendicularly inwardly from an arm of the U-shaped member.
High speed winch rewind adapter
This disclosure describes a high speed winch rewind adapter for quickly rewinding a loading strap. In one implementation, the adapter includes a body having a volume sized to at least partially surround an annular end of the winch. The annular end is coupled with a ratchet mechanism of the winch and having at least one hole for receiving a winch bar. A drive connector is positioned both within the volume of the body and external to the volume of the body, the drive connector external to the volume of the body having an external profile to receive a torque, and the drive connector within the volume of the body insertable into the annular end of the winch for alignment to the axis of rotation. A coupling mechanism synchronizes the drive connector to the annular end such that both the drive connector and the annular end rotate simultaneously.
Apparatus for and method of folding and winding a band of non-woven fabric of a predetermined length
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric used for the industrial production of moistened wipes. The apparatus for folding and winding a predetermined length of non-woven fabric from a roll wound on a core is mounted on a countertop, equipped with a housing, provided with a drive unit. Mounted on a hub (1) is a cylinder (2), to which eccentrically attached are rods (3) from which at a certain distance is mounted a linear feed (4). The hub assembly (1) with the cylinder (2) with the rods (3) and the linear feed (4) can be mounted vertically or horizontally.

Band saw blade spooling machine and method of using it
A band spooling machine (1) including a small arbor (19) with protrusions (21) that rotate with the arbor. In an embodiment, the machine includes a table (3) having side rails (7) and a single rotating arbor (19) carrying two spaced-apart pins (21) having blocks (23) that rotate freely on the pins. The arbor is preferably mounted close to one end of the machine and substantially closer to one of the side rails than to the other. The blocks prevent the blade from kinking. The machine forms the band into a pretzel having a circle part (C) divided by a central reach (R) into two lobes, and a teardrop shaped tail (T).
Spool Device and Related Methods
Implementations of spool devices may include a frame including an anchor, the anchor configured to directly couple to a belt of a user, an axle coupled through the frame, and a first spool coupled over a first portion of the axle. The first portion of the axle may extend entirely through the first spool. The spool device may also include a second spool coupled over a second portion of the axle. The second portion of the axle may extend entirely through the second spool. The spool device may also include a first spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the first spool, a second spool handle directly coupled to an outer wall of the second spool, a first hose roller directly coupled to the frame, and a second hose roller directly coupled to the frame.
Packaging for a reel of medical injection devices
A packaging for a reel of medical injection devices includes a base tray configured for supporting the reel and at least a first flat rib and a second flat rib. Each rib includes a respective slot arranged such that the ribs can be interlocked with one another by mutual engagement of the slots. The base tray includes at least two pairs of peripheral openings. Each opening is configured to receive an end of the ribs, so that the base tray and interlocked flat ribs engaging the base tray form a frame configured for enclosing the reel.
Ratcheting strap storage assembly
A ratcheting strap storage assembly for includes a box that has a first compartment and a second compartment. The first compartment contains a ratcheting mechanism of a ratcheting strap for storage. The second compartment contains a strap of the ratcheting strap being coiled therein for storage. A winding mechanism is rotatably coupled to the box and the strap of the ratcheting strap is coupled to the winding mechanism. The winding mechanism wraps the strap therearound when the winding mechanism is rotated in a winding direction to coil the strap within the second compartment for storage. The winding mechanism unwinds the strap when the winding mechanism is rotated in the unwinding direction to release the strap from the box.
Dunnage system and method using a coil accumulator
A dunnage production system for producing coiled strips of dunnage includes a supply of strip-like dunnage, a coiler adjacent the supply and rotatable about a coiling axis for coiling a strip of the strip-like dunnage into a coil having a coiled configuration, and a tube aligned with the coiling axis. The tube has an internal diameter sized to receive the coil from the coiler in a discharge direction parallel to the coiling axis. The tube is capable of holding at least one coil in its coiled configuration until it is removed from the tube.
