The present invention is a retractable pet leash with a variable brake system to control a pet. The variable braking system can be engaged or disengaged by the user via 3 methods. The first method is via a handle that is directly connected to the brake. The second method, also actuated by the user is a one touch brake system that uses the rotation of the reel to slowly apply the variable brake over several rotations of the reel. The third method allows the user to set the length of the leash cord and when the set length of the cord is met, engages the one touch brake system. The retractable pet leash provides a system to set the length of the leash cord being let out and ensures that the leash cord is kept taught between the user and the pet and notifies the user when the set length has been reached and applies variable braking in a steady and predictable manner to smoothly stop the pet.

A house wrap dispenser apparatus for use by a single user to use with a roll of house wrap in installation of house wrap on an exterior wall(s) of a stable structure. The house wrap dispenser apparatus includes a house wrap dispenser having a lower house wrap bracket operational with an upper house wrap bracket, a bag, removable fasteners, and a driver. In another embodiment, a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus includes a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser, a multiplicity of threaded dowels, removable fasteners, a bag, and a driver. In an embodiment, a house wrap dispenser apparatus kit, includes a house wrap dispenser apparatus carrying case to contain the house wrap dispenser apparatus. In an embodiment, a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus kit includes a water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus carrying case to contain the water-resistive barrier wrap dispenser apparatus.

A device used to release, retract, and store a cable or a cable-like structure that provides an easy solution for cable or cable-like structure applications. The device can be used for all kinds of electronic devices in private entities and public facilities tidily and safely. Applying the devices within the present patent application will significantly reduce safety hazards caused by ill-placed or tangled cables or cable-like structures while also storing said cables or cable-like structures when not in use.

A cable reel of the present disclosure can include two flanges and a central drum being independently rotatable from one another. The drum, which can be configured to receive a cable, can be mounted on an axle. The two flanges can be rotationally mounted on the axle at opposing distal ends of the axle. Bearings in the flanges can allow for a full rotation of the flanges about the axle.

A line lock assembly for locking a retraction assembly of a chalk box may include a line lock cover (250) operably coupled to a housing of the chalk box to form a line lock member enclosure, and a line lock member (260) disposed within the line lock member enclosure. The line lock member may be configured to move responsive to rotation of the line lock cover to alternately lock the retraction assembly and unlock the retraction assembly based on a position of the line lock cover.

An illuminated retractable strap assembly includes a rotatable strap spool, a strap structure having a first end fixed to the strap spool and a second end having a connector. The assembly includes a retraction mechanism for retracting the strap structure, the strap structure includes one or more elongated optical fibers for transmitting light between a first and a second end of the fibers and an outer covering allowing at least part of the light originating from the one or more elongated optical fibers to be transmitted through, a light source arranged in connection to the first end or to the second end of the fibers, and a power source.

A handle having a gripping member. A base can be attached to a guidance device worn by an animal A retractable pulley assembly connects the base to the handle. A braking assembly has a trigger and a braking member. The retractable pulley assembly includes a spool, a wheel, an anchor, and a flexible member having a first end and a second end with the flexible member extending from the base to the handle, around the wheel, and to the anchor and with the flexible member being fixedly attached to the spool at the first end and to the anchor at the second end. The trigger actuates the braking member to frictionally engage the flexible member at an intermediate point between the flexible member first end and the flexible member second end to fix the distance between the handle and the base when the flexible member is pulled taut.
