A cable management apparatus includes a housing, an axle, a rotary member, and a gear member. The housing includes a front face and a rear face, the front face including a first opening. The axle is positioned within the housing and defines a longitudinal axis. The rotary member is positioned within the first opening and defines a bore shaped to receive a cable therethrough. The gear member provides a rotatable coupling between the rotary member, the housing, and the axle. The gear member further includes a first bearing and a second bearing. The first bearing provides a rotatable coupling between the rotary member and the axle, and the second bearing provides a rotatable coupling between the rotary member and the housing.

A hub for use with a pipeline inspection device including a reel and a cable disposed at least partially within the reel, the cable including a camera. The hub includes a body configured to be selectively coupled to the reel, a mating member positioned on the body, where the mating member is configured to removably secure the body to the reel, a wireless communication module positioned within the body, where the wireless communication module is configured to create a wireless connection between the hub and a remote device including a display, a battery receptacle on the body, and a battery removably coupled to the battery receptacle, the battery configured to provide power to the camera.

A motorized reel apparatus suitable for endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS) is presented. The present invention attaches to any suitable corresponding biopsy needle stylus. The motorized reel apparatus contains a reel housing, a spool drum, a spool spindle, a motor, and a controller. The reel housing contains wire outlet aperture. The wire outlet aperture traverses through the reel housing. The spool drum is connected within the reel housing. The spool spindle operatively engages along the spool drum, where the spool spindle can dispense a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture. The motor is rotatably engaged to the spool spindle. The controller is electrically connected to the motor, where the controller is configured to retract or deploy a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture.

A spray foam hose storage system includes a shaft and an elongated sleeve having the shaft concentrically positioned inside, where the elongated sleeve configured to rotate about the shaft. In addition, the system includes a cantilever arm having a proximate end and a distal end, a base plate securing the cantilever arm perpendicular to the elongated sleeve, where the cantilever arm is offset from the elongated sleeve by a distance. The cantilever arm includes a plurality of slats positioned to form a concave periphery for a spray foam hose to be draped back and forth thereon.

A coiling device on which a rope, extension cord, or other materials can be coiled. A coiling device allows for additional tools to be included and/or coupled to it. A coiling device that can be coupled to a shaft, whether telescopic or otherwise. A coiling device that can be coupled to a shaft via a clamp.

A line fixing device includes a first housing, a second housing disposed to face the first housing, and a fixing member at least partially provided between the first housing and the second housing and configured to hold and fix a line. The fixing member includes a base portion, a column portion, protruding from a center of the base portion, around which the line is to be wound, and a plurality of latching protrusions disposed at predetermined intervals along an outer periphery of the base portion and configured to hold and fix a portion of the line which is not wound around the column portion. The latching protrusions have a tapered shape with a diameter gradually decreasing away from the base portion.

An ergonomic hose load platform for a fire fighting vehicle is provided. The ergonomic hose load platform includes a platform and at least one pivot mount defining a pivot axis. The platform is pivotable about the pivot axis to open and close the platform.

An improved apparatus and method for a hanging rotational hose reel includes a bracket for hanging the hose reel, a spool for winding a hose about a first rotational axis, a frame for supporting the spool, and a rotational assembly connecting the bracket and the frame. The rotational assembly allows rotation of the spool about a second rotational axis. The hanging hose reel may be secured to a surface or may hang from a wagon and/or stand.

An extension and retraction device including a housing and a slip ring mounted within the housing. The slip ring includes a stator and rotor rotatably mounted therein. The rotor includes rotor leads and annular sections defined circumferentially around the rotor. Each rotor lead includes opposite ends with one end electrically connected to one of the annular sections. The stator includes a contact for each annular section in sliding electrical engagement with the annular section. Each contact includes a stator lead having one end electrically connected to the stator and another end extending out of an opening of the housing. A reel is mounted within the housing with the reel and rotor rotatable about a substantially common axis. A cord extending through another opening of the housing is retracted into the housing when the reel rotates in one direction, and the cord is extended from the housing when the cord is pulled and the reel rotates in the opposite direction.

A motorized roller television cover conceals a television set when the television is not in use. The motorized roller television cover utilizes a first mounting bracket, a second mounting bracket, a roller, an aesthetic sheet, and a motor to create a more aesthetically appealing atmosphere than leaving the television set exposed. The first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket support the roller, the motor, and the aesthetic sheet on a television set. The motor actuates the rotation of the roller to extend or retract the aesthetic sheet to display the aesthetic sheet or expose the television set. The roller is able to be quickly installed onto or removed from the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket to replace or interchange the aesthetic sheet in accordance to the user's preference.
