An example fiber storage device includes a bend radius limiter extending along a height from a first end to a second end. The first end is seated at a mounting surface. One or more arms extend outwardly from the second end of the body. Each of the arms defines a retaining member that contacts the mounting surface. Each retaining member has a first contact surface that faces away from the storage surface and a second contact surface that faces towards the storage surface. A storage region is defined between the mounting surface, the storage surface, one of the arms arm, and the second contact surface of the respective retaining member.

An umbrella accessorizing paper towel dispenser for accessorizing an umbrella includes a casing that comprises a base. A shell is coupled to and extends upwardly from a perimeter of the base, defining an open top. The dispenser includes a lid that is complimentary to and reversibly couplable to the open top. A slot, configured for protrusion of a free end of the roll of paper towels, is positioned longitudinally in the shell between the base and the open top. A coupler is coupled to the casing. The coupler is configured to reversibly couple the casing to the tube of an umbrella.

A rolling device for a secondary battery includes a mandrel to roll a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, the mandrel having a pair of clamps at a center of the mandrel, a blade surrounding the clamps while being spaced apart from the clamps, the blade having an elliptical cross-section and being divided into four sections, the first electrode plate, second electrode plate, and separator being rolled on the blade, and a rotating body coupled to an interior side of the blade, the rotating body being between the clamps and the blade.

A tarp deploying apparatus for use on a trailer includes a fiberglass tarp roller. The fiberglass tarp roller is constructed from two fiberglass tubes. A splined joint is used to join the two tubes together. Each end of the tarp roller also includes a female socket with grooves to engage splines on a motor shaft that drives the tarp roller or to connect the roller tube to a universal joint. A pin or bold may also be used at the splined joint to securely hold the tarp roller together without the need for a welding operation.

A multiple flexible lance hose take-up drum apparatus or device in accordance with the present disclosure includes a base having three or more support legs and a hollow take-up drum assembly rotatably supported from the base. The drum assembly includes a hollow cylindrical shell, a bottom plate fastened to the shell, a high pressure fluid supply connection and a manifold positioned radially along a bottom plate of the shell for connection to one end of each of a plurality of flexible lance hoses. The base includes an L shaped support arm extending from the bases alongside the shell. A plurality of guide tubes are supported by the support arm and aligned over a rim of the shell for guiding flexible lance hoses into and out of the take-up drum assembly.
