Cord management device
A cord management device securable to objects lacking a cord management system. An embodiment includes a flexible substratum on which two outwardly facing hooks are secured in a longitudinally spaced manner. An embodiment further includes a receptacle adapted to receiving and temporarily house the prongs on an electrical cord. The flexible substratum preferably includes an adhesive, magnet, or fastener to temporarily or permanently secure the device to objects. The device is thereby attachable to an object to aid in the securement of an electrical cord.

FLOTATION MAT EXTENSION, RETRACTION AND STORAGE APPARATUS
An apparatus configured to extend onto and retract from a body of water a flotation mat. The apparatus includes first and second spaced apart support members such that both support members include an upper and a lower end. The spaced apart support members are secured to a boat dock by mounting hardware. First and second vertically slidable members are slidably mounted to the first and second spaced apart support members. The apparatus also includes a rotatable shaft that extends between the upper ends of the first and second slidable members. A sprocket assembly is mounted to one of the ends of the rotatable shaft to facilitate either manual or powered rotation of the shaft for purposes of extending or retracting the mat onto or off the body of water.
WINDER
Described is a tiedown winder. It has a base member having a magnetised region to allow the base member to be selectively secured one of a plurality of ferrous parts of a vehicle to become releaseable secured thereto. It also has an axle able, in a use position, to engage with said base member in a manner to allow rotation of the axle relative the base member and presenting a winding zone about which a tie down can be wound.

DISPLAY DEVICE
A display device is disclosed. The display device of the present disclosure comprises: a flexible display panel; a roller that is elongated and rolls up or unrolls the display panel; a housing in which the roller is located and having an opening through which the display panel passes; and a door assembly which is coupled to the housing adjacent to the opening, and opens and closes the opening, wherein the door assembly comprises: a door for opening or closing the opening; and a suspender positioned between the housing and the door and having one end fixed to one of the housing and the door, and the other end movably coupled to the other one.
Holder for straps having hooks and methods of making and using
A holder for straps includes a base including a body portion and a tail portion, and a waist where the body portion and the tail portion join. The base defines first and second horizontally opposed recesses and a wrap area disposed therebetween. First embodiments of the holder include pegs disposed on opposing sides of the wrap area. The pegs can engage with S-hooks, D rings, snap hooks, carabiners and the like. Second embodiments of the holder include a base defining slots from edges of the body portion and disposed on opposing sides of the wrap area. The slots can engage with J-hooks, T-hooks, U-hooks, and the like. After securing the hook thereof, each strap is wrapped around the base through first and second recesses. Straps can be secured by disposing a loop such as a loop of bungee cord or a tie about the waist and tightening the cord or tie.
Disposable string line holder
This invention is about a string line holder, used by construction workers for aligning construction units, that is inexpensive to make because of its simplicity in structure and its material which string line holder, after the string line is used up or defrayed, can be completely disposed of and replaced by another inexpensive string line holder of the same structure. The string line holder is made from a cylindrically shaped reel or spool on which the string line is wound and has an elongated handle which can be entirely inserted within a cylindrical passageway through the reel or spool and can be partially withdrawn from the cylindrical passageway such that the reel or spool can be rotated around a portion of the elongated handle. The string line holder, including the reel or spool and the elongated handle, is constructed from an inexpensive material such as cardboard or plastic.

Hose-reeling apparatus
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.
