MAGNETIC RETRACTABLE LINE DIVIDER

A magnetic retractable line divider may include at least a reel assembly having a shell, and a magnetic portion is installed thereon. An elastic line divider belt is wound on the reel assembly, and a magnetic member is connected to a lateral end of the line divider belt. The line divider belt is configured to be horizontally pulled out from the reel assembly and travel a preferred distance to attach to a magnetic object, thus achieving line divider effect. Moreover, when someone pushes against the line divider belt with or over a preferred force, the magnetic member is configured to be detached from the magnetic object and automatically retracted into the reel assembly, thus avoiding accident.

20250305226 · 2025-10-02 ·

A reusable barrier tape device for extending a reusable barrier tape around an area and retracting the reusable barrier tape onto a reel includes a spool rotatably coupled to a housing. A tape is coiled around the spool. The spool is rotatable to selectively extend and retract the tape from the housing. The tape has an inner end loop that is removably coupled to the spool and an outer end loop that is distally positioned relative to the inner end loop. A clip is coupled to the outer end loop of the tape. The clip is openable wherein the clip is configured to facilitate securement of the tape to an external structure when the tape is wrapped around the external structure. A crank is operably engaged with the spool wherein rotation of the crank rotates the spool.

A tape dispensing device is provided. The device is designed for efficient deployment of reusable caution tape, crime scene tape, event tape, or other marking or barrier tape in fields such as construction, law enforcement, and event management. The device comprises a housing that encloses at least one tape roll, accessible via a hinged and lockable lid, and that incorporates openings for tape exit in one or more directions. The reusable tape is comprised of waterproof material, customizable in width and length, and may include reflective coatings or indicia for enhanced visibility and adaptability. Tape deployment is facilitated by an actuation mechanism, such as a hand crank and axle, while a return spring enables controlled retraction. The tape end is further equipped with an attachment point for securing to objects via a carabiner.
