A handheld reel device for collecting and releasing string lights and that accommodates use of handles of variable lengths for manually rotating the reel.

A membrane pulling device includes an elongate frame and a lever coupled with the elongate frame at a fixed position joint. The fixed position joint is positioned within a middle section of the elongate frame. A plurality of step plates are attached to the elongate frame, including a back step plate and one or more front step plates. A forward fairlead is coupled with the elongate frame and includes two pulley wheels. Side arms may pivot out from the elongate frame to assist in use of the membrane pulling device when pulling a membrane at an angle to the orientation of the device, such as adjacent to a parapet wall.

A core insert (103) for insertion into a core (700) of a roll (500, 600) of material and a hand tool using the core insert for applying the material to a surface (1100). The insert (103) includes a gripper sleeve bearing (7) rotatably connected to a spindle hub (101) attached to an axle shaft (1). The bearing (7) has tapered axial splines (104) extending away from center of the bearing (7) configured to grip the inner surface of the core (700). The hand tool includes the core insert (103) and an axle shaft (1), a handle shaft (2) and a shaft connector (9). The axle shaft (1) is insertable into the core (700) with the bearing (7) inserted into the (700) core to releasably and frictionally engage the core (700) so that the roll (500, 600) is rotatable about the axle shaft (1) along with the bearing (7).

A rotating member for a wrap dispenser includes a first portion defining an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface defining an outer diameter and the inner surface defining an inner diameter; a second portion defining an outer surface and an inner surface, the outer surface defining an outer diameter and the inner surface defining an inner diameter, wherein the inner diameter of the first portion is less than the inner diameter of the second portion, and wherein the outer diameter of the first portion is less than the outer diameter of the second portion; and a transition portion extending between the first portion and the second portion, the transition portion defining an inner surface, the inner surface defining an inner diameter, wherein the inner diameter of the transition portion tapers from the second portion to the first portion.

A film dispenser for dispensing stretch wrap or other flexible materials. The film dispenser is comprised of paper or cardboard. The film dispenser being inserted into an extended core or having the extended core inserted into the film dispenser.

A dispenser includes a rotating member configured to rotate about an axis of rotation, the rotating member comprising an engaging portion and a roll-holding portion, the roll-holding portion defining an outer surface and a cylindrical inner surface, the cylindrical inner surface extending from a first end of the roll-holding portion to a second end of the roll-holding portion opposite the first end, a rib extending radially inwardly from the cylindrical inner surface, the rib defining a free radially inward edge; and a holding member located radially outwardly of the engaging portion; wherein the cylindrical inner surface of the rotating member defines a first cylindrical portion adjacent to the first end and a second cylindrical portion adjacent to the second end, the rib extending axially along a length of the first cylindrical portion, the second cylindrical portion substantially smooth and absent any ribs.

The present invention provides a dispenser of stretch wrap, comprising a main body with a first end, a second end, a first connector portion proximate to the first end, a second connector portion proximate to the second end, a first braking mechanism at the first connector portion, a second braking mechanism at the second connector portion, a tension controller terminating an end of the second connector portion, the first connector portion and second connector portion are adapted to engage two ends of an elongated core with stretch wrap film, the tension controller comprising an adjustable portion that is rotatable and in mechanical communication with a movable part located intermediate the tension controller and the second connector portion and the adjustable portion is a rotatable knob, and the movable part is a clutching mechanism connected to a shaft; characterized in that the tension controller further comprises a tension limiting mechanism.

An apparatus for a drill powered wire puller is disclosed. The drill powered wire puller includes a capstan, a housing positioned including a gear mechanism disposed therein, and a trigger assembly coupled to a trigger of a handheld power drill, wherein actuation of the trigger assembly causes depression of the trigger thereby activating the handheld power drill. The drill powered wire puller further includes a cradle plate including a notch positioned at a proximal end of the cradle plate, the notch being sized and shaped to receive the handheld power drill. The drill powered wire puller further includes a foot pedal system including a foot pedal, a base, a spring, wherein when the foot pedal receives pressure, tension is created on the throttle causing actuation of the trigger assembly and activation of the handheld power drill.

Apparatus for a drill powered wire puller are disclosed. In an embodiment the drill powered wire puller includes a center plate, a cradle plate, a housing, a support, the support including a receiver, and a capstan. The center plate is coupled with the cradle plate at a proximal end. The cradle plate includes a U-shaped notch and two hooks or catches which are configured to couple the cradle plate with a powered rotary tool, such as a drill. The right side of the center plate is coupled with a housing, the left side of the center plate is coupled with a support. The left side of the support is coupled with a capstan. The support laterally offsets the receiver to align a longitudinal axis of the receiver with a radially curved portion of the capstan.
