Spray foam hose storage system
A spray foam hose storage system includes a shaft and an elongated sleeve having the shaft concentrically positioned inside, where the elongated sleeve configured to rotate about the shaft. In addition, the system includes a cantilever arm having a proximate end and a distal end, a base plate securing the cantilever arm perpendicular to the elongated sleeve, where the cantilever arm is offset from the elongated sleeve by a distance. The cantilever arm includes a plurality of slats positioned to form a concave periphery for a spray foam hose to be draped back and forth thereon.
HOSE REEL
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.
Chord Organizer
A cord organizer has a flexural board with a back, a front, a width, a length and a thickness. A frontal surface has rectangular facets separated by open-ended elongate slots, and each open-ended elongate slot is coextensive with an open-ended elongate chamber forming a cord retainer, which is recessed within the thickness. When the flexural board is angularly flexed the rectangular facets fan out and each of the open-ended elongate slots are widened, therein widening access to each of the open-ended elongate chambers; and while widened the cord retainers are individually fitted with a sectional length of a cord. When the flexural board is released it returns to its relaxed state, wherein the cord retainers envelop and restrain each of the cords on the flexural board.

Parachord dispenser and associated methods
A backstacked paracord dispenser, comprising a body a lid and a backstacked length of paracord disposed therein. The body has a closed bottom and a first sidewall integrally connected to the bottom. The lid has a closed top with a through-hole disposed therethrough and a second sidewall integrally connected to the top. The second sidewall is sized to securely fit to the body. The length of paracord is disposed in the body and has one end extended through the through-hole. The paracord was backstacked into the body.
Vacuum hose storage system
A vacuum hose storage system for a cabinet comprising a kickboard and defining an upper section and a lower section, where the lower section is fronted by the kickboard. The vacuum hose storage system comprises a vacuum unit and a storage tube located within the lower section of the cabinet and behind the kickboard. The vacuum unit is fluidly connected to the storage tube. The vacuum unit is operable to generate a partial vacuum within the storage tube. The vacuum hose is drawn into the storage tube by the partial vacuum within the storage tube.
Flexible helical cord management device
In one aspect of the present disclosure, a flexible cord management device is provided. The device includes a helical coil base, an s-loop, and a post. The base can be wrapped around at least a portion of a bundled cord. The s-loop includes a first loop and a second loop, where the first loop is coupled to a first end of the base. The first loop can be opened to receive a first end of the bundled cord, such that, the first end of the bundled cord is securely disposed through the first loop. The second loop is coupled to the first loop. The post extends from the first end of the base and can be inserted through the second loop to secure the first loop in a closed position and removed from the second loop to enable the first loop to achieve an open position.

Half-moon lifting device
Nonlimiting embodiments including methods and apparatus are provided for moving coils of flexible pipe. A pipe coil lifting device comprises a superstructure having a pair of longitudinal channels attached to and forming sides of an outermost portion of the superstructure, a longitudinal central member extending between the channel portions, the superstructure having at least one cross-member perpendicular and attached to the central member and channel portions, and wherein the top of the superstructure forms a convex upper surface attached to the channel portions, central member and cross-members.
Cable Retainers for Packaging
Cable retainers may include a panel having a pair of loop locks. The loop locks may engage each other to form a loop. The cable retainer may include a first and a second retention loop. Each retention loop may have a finger with a slot formed at a fold line of the finger. Each retention loop may also have a flap with a tab formed at a fold line of the flap. The finger and the flap of the first retention loop may be located directly across the panel from one another. The finger of the second retention loop may be located at a first end of the panel while the flap of the second retention loop may be located at a second end of the panel. The tabs and slots of each retention loop may interlock to form a rectangular cable passage. The cable retainer may be formed entirely of paper and may be formed without adhesive.
