A hose storage container designed to reduce exposure of the stored hose to UV light. The container includes an enclosure unit with a removable lid, a fastening line, and a conduit. The conduit passes through the sidewall of the enclosure and is comprised two threaded points, one on each end of the conduit, and the connection between them. The conduit is constructed of a UV resistant material and serves to increase protection of the hose from UV light and other elements.

Described herein is a fish tape reel comprising a housing with two side shells coupled together. The housing defines an internal cavity. An internal portion of the housing defines a plurality of flat gripping portions and a plurality of finger notches. The housing comprises a plurality of tabs in the internal cavity, the tabs interfacing against an inner annular portion that is coupled to the handle when the handle rotates around the housing.

Aeronautical electrical equipment item fixing baseplate (1) having: a spacer including first attachment device defining a fixing base (3) on a support, and second attachment device defining a support face (4) suitable for holding an electrical equipment item; a storage recess (11), disposed between the fixing base (3) and the support face (4) of the spacer, and having a first lateral opening (13); cable ties (10), disposed in the storage recess (11), and suitable for holding a cable winding; a connector support (7), disposed opposite the first lateral opening (13) of the storage recess (11), and provided with a connector locking device.

Various storage containers are described for retaining drain cleaning cables. Storage systems utilizing the containers with a cable guide assembly are further described. Also described are methods of using the containers and systems.

A remotely controlled, tethered vehicle system is comprised of a communication network interface, a system command and control module, a power source, a tether cable spooling apparatus and a remotely controlled vehicle that is tethered to the communication, control and power source by a cable that is controlled to be dispensed from or retracted into the spooling apparatus. The spooling apparatus has a spooling mechanism that is controlled to move the cable into and out of the spooling apparatus without using a slip ring device.

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.

The present invention relates to a cable organizing apparatus, specifically to an adaptable cable organizing apparatus comprising: a flexible main body which can be freely bent and unbent in accordance with the length and thickness of variety of cables, such as a power cord attached to electric and electronic devices; and a plurality of elastic holding parts, attached on the main body, facilitating the entry, winding and unwinding, and locking and unlocking of a cable. As such, the cable is circularly wound, not bent and folded, which protects the cable and provides an aesthetically pleasing outer appearance, and minimizes the volume of the wound cable.

A retracting device, vehicle provided therewith and method for retracting a hose. The retracting device includes a frame, a retraction drive connected to the frame for retracting the hose, a coupling configured to couple the frame to a container, and a displacement drive configured to displace the frame relative to the container such that the retracted hose can be placed in the container. The retracting device further includes a hose guide configured to guide the hose for retraction to the retraction drive, and the hose guide is displaceable in operative connection to the frame.

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.
