WIRE TREATMENT METHOD AND APPARATUS
20230372989 · 2023-11-23 ·

A demountable wire carrier 100 is for supporting loops of wire W and comprises a lower end-stop 110, an upper end-stop 120 and a plurality of frame members 130 extending between the end-stops. The carrier is shown standing inside a cylindrical loop-forming container 140 into which the wire W has been fed in the direction of Arrow A, so that the wire forms loops around the inside of the container wall. The introduction of the wire takes place when, prior to assembly of the carrier, only the lower end-stop 110 is positioned inside the container, so that the loops of wire rest on the lower end-stop 110. After all the wire has been introduced into the container 140, the frame members are connected to the lower end-stop, and the upper end stop is then connected to the frame members to complete assembly of the carrier.

REFILLABLE LAMINATING FILM CARTRIDGE SYSTEM AND REFILL THEREOF
20220281709 · 2022-09-08 ·

A dual roll laminating film cartridge refill for a reusable cartridge loadable in a laminating machine. The refill includes a first roll of continuous adhesive-coated translucent laminating film having a first axial end and a second axial end. The refill includes a second roll of continuous adhesive-coated translucent laminating film having a first axial end and a second axial end. A first connector couples the first axial ends of the first and second rolls at a predefined gap distance. A second connector is independent from and spaced from the first connector, the second connector coupling the second axial ends of the first and second rolls at the predefined gap distance. The first and second connectors are uniquely shaped and asymmetrical to provide a keyed interface to the reusable cartridge.

HOSE-REELING APPARATUS
20210221641 · 2021-07-22 · ·

A hosed-reeling apparatus comprising a hose reel and a rack having a front opening for demountably receiving and supporting the hose reel. The hose reel has two sidewalls, a connection member concentrically coupling the two sidewalls, and two spindles extending laterally outward from the centers of the two sidewalls, respectively. The rack has at least a base framework, and a locking structure configurable between an unlock position and a lock position. The base framework has two upward facing channels on opposite sides thereof for demountably receiving the hose reel spindles. The channels are accessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the unlock position, and the channels are inaccessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the lock position. Each of the sidewalls of the hose reel may have at least one straight outer edge, allowing the hose reel sit stably on a horizontal surface or a ramp.
