A rope storage unit includes a rope reel, formed by a rope wound in a spiral form and a support body provided with an inner space inside which the rope reel is positioned supported by the support body. The rope is a rod having a straight form when in rest state and elastically bendable away from the straight form, the rope being under substantial bending tension in the spiral form. The support body includes one or more support members delimiting the inner space and surrounding radially the rope reel. The outer rim of the rope reel radially compresses against the one or more support members as an effect of the bending tension. A method is provided for installing an elevator rope implementing the rope storage unit, as well as to a method for fabricating the rope storage unit.

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 wire feeding system comprises a wire container including a box having an open upper side, and a wire container lid closing the upper side. The wire container lid includes a front wall having an opening through which wire is to be paid off. A wire outlet guide is attached to the front wall. The wire outlet guide comprises an upper and a lower hole for receiving the wire, the upper and lower holes being defined by a lower ring wall and an upper ring wall, respectively, and being distanced from each other in a wire feeding direction. At least the lower ring wall limits sideward movement of the wire and allows contact with the wire. The holes have a fixed position relative to the front wall. A deflection space bridging the distance between the holes allows sideward deflection of the wire between the ring walls.
