A cable-cord wrapping apparatus for promoting optimal wrapping and storage of audio or video cables. The cable-cord wrapping apparatus may primarily feature a handle integrally-connected to two arms running parallel to each other and integrally-connected to each other by a curved base. The arms create a channel within which to insert a cable or cord. Each arm may be tapered to provide optimal flexibility of the arms while maintaining desired structural integrity for securely storing a cable. Additionally, each arm may feature rounded ends which ease insertion of a cable or cord into the channel while also creating a barrier at the open end of the channel.

The present invention provides an auto-balancing hose system and a method for fluid transfer between an onshore facility and a floating vessel. The system comprises a transfer pipeline extended from the onshore facility to a loading platform, an upward pipe branch fluidly connected to the transfer pipeline, a hose with a first end fluidly connected to the upward pipe branch and a second end fluidly connected with a ship manifold on the floating vessel, a hose saddle or sheave that elevates the hose near the upward pipe branch and divides the hose into a riser at the first end and a U-tube next to the second end. The method includes elevating the hose near the upward pipe branch with a hose saddle and dividing the hose into a riser at the first end and a suspended U-tube at the second end. The hose is kept in tension, and adapted to accommodate vessel motions as well as relative displacements between the transfer pipeline and loading platform.

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.

A cable management assembly may include a cable management spiral and a cable bundle in operative engagement to the cable management spiral. The cable management spiral may be a spring coil, such as a stainless steel spring coil. Heat shrink wrap and/or sheathing may be used to operatively engage the cable bundle to the cable management spiral. The cable management assembly may be installed on a telescoping mast assembly.

A cable routing apparatus, for supporting an electric charging cable, includes a mounting plate and a pulley-bracket assembly, which is pivotally attachable to the mounting plate. The pulley-bracket assembly includes a pulley support member having a pulley support plate and at least one pulley support arm extending downwardly from the support plate. The pulley-bracket assembly further includes a pulley wheel for supporting part of the cable thereon, and a pulley axle extending through a central hub of the pulley wheel. A housing may be provided for covering the pulley-bracket member, and parts of the pulley support member may, optionally, be integrated into the housing. A kit including two of the described cable routing apparatus along with an intermediate pulley bracket and other components, as well as a method of installing the kit in a garage to provide a cable routing system are also described.

A drain cleaner includes a shroud with a closed end and an open end opposite the closed end, a drum assembly positioned within the shroud and rotatable relative to the shroud, a flexible cable stored within the drum assembly, and a handle assembly coupled to and extending rearwardly from the shroud. The handle assembly includes a motor, a grip, and an actuator to selectively energize the motor. The actuator is enclosed between the grip and the shroud.

A hose-pull apparatus for mounting to an irrigation system mobile tower supporting a fluid-carrying conduit. The hose-pull apparatus includes a swivel, a first pipe section, a joint, and a second pipe section. The swivel is configured to be in fluid communication with the conduit and rotate about a vertical axis. The first pipe section has a first end connected to the swivel and a second end extending outwardly from the swivel so that the first pipe section can pivot horizontally. The joint is connected to the second end of the first pipe section. The second pipe section has a first end connected to the joint so that the second pipe section can articulate relative to the first pipe section. The joint also has a second end configured to be in fluid communication with a supply hose.
