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.

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.

A retention mount for an electrical cord of a trailer is described that includes a body, a tab extending away from the body, and a plurality of arms extending away from the body. The tab defines an opening configured to receive a plug of the electrical cord therethrough and the plurality of arms each include a retention portion extending outwardly from the body, such that a cable portion of the electrical cord can be wrapped around the plurality of arms with the retention portions thereof retaining the cable portion on the retention mount. The retention mount can be removably or irremovably coupled to a structure of a vehicle.

The implement includes an elongated strap and a buckle intended to interlock with the elongated strap that includes a) first end and a second end which incorporates a suspending fixture, and b) an inner and outer sides. The elongated strap incorporates in inner side a plurality of teeth alternating with a plurality of grooves. The plurality of teeth extends from the first end up to a first no teeth zone located in proximity of the second end. A group of several teeth follows after the first no teeth zone. When wrapping the elongated strap, the buckle is kept in an indented retaining portion of the elongated strap with its several teeth projecting upwardly. After an adjustment of the elongated strap is completed, the buckle is so displaced that the several teeth penetrate corresponding grooves of the multiplicity of teeth.

An elongate article holder with a flexible non-magnetic band, along with two terminal ends that may be removably secured to each other, is used to wrap around an elongate article or coils of the elongate article. In various exemplary embodiments, removable coupling of the two terminal ends may be provided by magnet(s), which may be substantially protected from environmental harm while simultaneously helping to achieve optimum magnetic closure strength by using tubular apertures/dimples which may run from a cavity housing the magnet to or near a mating surface of a respective terminal end. Further, the flexible non-magnetic band may have an integral closed loop for removably attaching to the elongate article, operating by passing a portion of the elongate article through a formed orifice that is formed from the integral closed loop.

A hose retraction system for a pull-out or pull-down faucet includes a support bracket configured to couple to a shank, a cylindrical housing mountable to the support bracket, and at least one constant force coil spring disposable in the cylindrical housing and configured to at least partially couple to a hose disposed in a faucet spout. The coil spring provides a recoil force sufficient to retract the hose when the hose is extended from the spout.

A spool assembly and a cable management assembly are provided for supporting cables in a rack or housing. A mounting member is provided having a spool opening for receiving a spool. The spool opening has a longitudinal dimension and a transverse dimension where the longitudinal dimension is greater than the transverse dimension. A detent extends from a longitudinal side edge of the spool opening toward a second longitudinal side edge of the spool opening to define a first open portion and a second open portion. In one embodiment, the first open portion and second open portion can be substantially same size and have a substantially circular configuration. In another embodiment, the first open portion can have a dimension greater than a dimension of the second open portion.
