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.

Video inspection systems with moveable and dockable CCUs are disclosed. In one embodiment a video inspection system includes a tubular frame element, a camera control unit (CCU), and a docking apparatus mechanically coupled to the frame element so as to allow the CCU to rotate and/or be detached are attached via a user action.

A hose reel includes a frame, a reel rotatably arranged within the frame and a rewind mechanism with a spring. A removable lid is attached to the frame and encloses an inside of the hose reel from all directions to prevent a user of the hose reel from accessing the inside of the hose reel. An axle is rotatable in relation to the reel. A first end of the spring is attached to the reel and a second end of the spring is attached to the axle. The axle has an outer end connected to the lid to prevent mutual rotation between the lid and the outer end in a direction which decreases the spring force of the spring.

A storage system includes a protective housing member configured to mate with a handheld electronic device. The protective housing member includes a charging area formed between a surface of the protective housing member and a surface of an accessory item of the handheld electronic device. The charging area is configured to charge the accessory item of the handheld electronic device. The charging area is powered by at last one power component of the protective housing member or at least one power component of the handheld electronic device. The storage system further includes at least one integrated circuit which is either a component of the handheld electronic device or a component of the protective housing member.

An intelligent cable storage drum system for use in a pipe inspection system is disclosed. The system may include a cable storage drum, a video push-cable removably disposed on the cable storage drum, the video push-cable having a proximal end and a distal end, a video camera head having a camera output for providing analog or digital images or video output signals, and a transceiver module operatively coupled to the camera output for receiving the analog or digital images or video output signals and sending the received signals to a remote receiver.

A winding assistance device for tubular members having a first cuff including an elongate body defining a first cuff longitudinal axis, the elongate body of the first cuff having a C-shaped transverse cross-sectional profile defining a radially facing opening, where the opening of the first cuff defines a first cuff entry axis extending orthogonally from the first cuff longitudinal axis and bisecting a width of the opening of the first cuff; and a second cuff including an elongate body defining a second cuff longitudinal axis, the elongate body of the second cuff having a C-shaped transverse cross-sectional profile defining a radially facing opening therealong. The opening of the second cuff defines a second cuff entry axis extending orthogonally from the second cuff longitudinal axis and bisecting a width of the opening of the second cuff. The first cuff and the second cuff are secured to each other.

A cable retractor enclosure having a weighted cable pulley and cable pulley guide rails. The cable pulley is rotatable about a pivot and configured to translate along grooves when a cable wrapped underneath is extracted from the cable retractor enclosure. The cable extends outside of the retractor enclosure from its upper end and provides a cable end plug that sits within a retractor module insert. Weights may be attached to the cable pulley in order to leverage gravitational forces, which result in a bias causing the cable to retract back into the enclosure. Friction forces against the extracted cable can be used to prevent the gravitational bias the cable pulley exerts (retraction forces) on the cable by bending the cable to lay flat onto a table surface.

Tube management devices are disclosed for use with an infusion set having a flexible tube. An exemplary device includes a central spindle defining an axis, a base member, and an upper member. The base member and upper member may project radially outwardly from the central spindle and may be axially spaced apart. The device may include a plurality of retainer members disposed on at least one of the base member and the upper member. The central spindle, the base member, the upper member, and the plurality of retainer members define a toroidal space sized to receive a variable length of the flexible tube.
