The spiral advance/retreat actuation device includes a first strip material, a second strip material, an inner guide member as a strip material guide unit, an outer cylindrical wall, and a strip material storage container. The strip material storage container includes a first storage chamber that spirally stores a first strip material that has transitioned from a cylindrical configuration state to a separated state, and a second storage chamber that spirally stores a second strip material that has transitioned from a cylindrical configuration state to a separated state. The inner bottom surface of the first storage chamber and the inner bottom surface of the second storage chamber are sloped so as to descend as they move away from the axis.

A method of use for a vehicle-mounted reel utility with a cable dispenser. The cable dispenser has a swivel-aiming feature for figure 8'ing the cable. The cable dispenser is mounted to a swivel mount in a vertical axis located at a free end of a positioning arm. The swivel mount allows the user to swivel the cable dispenser about the vertical axis while maintaining the cable dispenser in a central lateral position relative to a reel or a vehicle during the swivel action.

A tension brake assembly includes a frame, a plurality of brake pad assemblies, and a hub configured to be coupled to a rotating component. The hub includes a plurality of drive pins adjacent an annular wall. A rotor engages the plurality of drive pins such that rotation of the hub causes rotation of the rotor while permitting axial movement relative to the annular wall. The rotor has friction surfaces for engagement with the brake pad assemblies. An actuator is provided. Movement of the actuator in a first direction moves the friction components together in the axial direction to increase friction exerted by the tension brake assembly. Movement of the actuator in a second direction moves the friction components away from one another in the axial direction to decrease friction exerted by the tension brake assembly.

A reeling device for the controlled coiling and uncoiling of a cable has a first end that is fixed and a second end that is movable relative to the first end. The cable is unbroken between its first and second ends. The reeling device includes first and second reels about which the cable is coiled. The first and second reels are coaxial. The first reel is fixed against rotation and axial movement, and the second reel is rotatable about the axis with such rotation causing axial movement of the second reel relative to the first reel.

A multi-fiber reel and adapter assembly includes a base, a cable reel mounted to the base, and a plurality of adapters fixedly mounted to the base. The cable reel is configured to rotate relative to the base and the adapters, and each of the adapters is configured to couple a fiber optic cable from the cable reel with a fiber optic drop cable that is configured to run from the respective adapter to a location of an end user that is remote from the assembly.

An adjustment device includes a housing supporting a rotatable spool that is operably coupled to a tension line. The spool is configured to rotate about a first axis in a first direction to wind the tension line around the spool and is configured to rotate about the first axis in a second direction opposite the first rotational direction to unwind the at least one tension line from the spool. The device includes a lever pivotally coupled to the housing and configured to rotate about a second axis. The lever is selectively coupled to the spool to drive rotation of the spool in the first direction. The device also includes a release mechanism that is configured to selectively release the spool such that the spool is free to rotate in either the first or second direction in response to manual forces applied to the release mechanism.

A reel system comprising a spool support, a belt drive assembly, a center shaft assembly, and one or more spool cross support bars. The reel system further comprises two spool side members having a first spool side member and a second spool side member. A spool portion comprises the two spool side members, the center shaft assembly and the one or more spool cross support bars. The spool portion is configured to mount between a first side support, a second side support. The spool portion is configured to rotate around a spool axis. The belt drive assembly comprises a drive system, and a belt. The drive system comprises a pneumatic pump driven drive system. The drive system comprises a drive shaft.

Disclosed is display device. The display device of the present disclosure includes: a flexible display panel; a roller around which the display panel is wound or from which the display panel is unwound; a base which extends in a longitudinal direction of the roller, and in which the roller is rotatably installed; a link mount supported by the base; a link which is pivotally connected to the link mount, and lifts the display panel; a pivot magnet fixed to a pivot center of the link; a magnetic sensor which detects a position of the pivot magnet; and a controller which controls a movement of the link, wherein when a position section of the pivot magnet is divided into an effective position section Ieff and an error position section Ierr, a position of the pivot magnet is changed within the effective position section, wherein the controller calculates angle information formed by the link with respect to the base from position information of the pivot magnet, and adjusts movement of the link based on the angle information.

A fish tape drum includes a frame and a drum portion rotatable relative to the frame. The drum portion has an outer wall and an inner wall. The first tape drum also includes a length of fish tape arranged between the inner wall and the outer wall. The fish tape drum further includes a constricting assembly configured to bias the length of fish tape toward the inner wall.

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.
