ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR RELEASING, RETRACTING, AND STORING A CABLE OR A CABLE-LIKE STRUCTURE
20260062251 · 2026-03-05 ·

The present invention discloses an electronic device for retracting, releasing, and storing cables or cable-like structures for equipment, devices, apparatus, machines, or similar structures. The device provides an effective way to release, retract, and store cables and cable-like structures. By retracting the cable into the device and routing it around an inner cylindrical structure using motors, the device can efficiently control the length of cables as required. The motor(s) can release the cable to any desired size, so organizing and making it the desired and appropriate length is very convenient. Supporting structure, gears, and bearings assure cable and cable-like structure to retract and release. The line-linked switch or remote switch provides convenience when using the device.

STORAGE MECHANISM FOR AIR DUCT HOSE OF HAIR GROOMING DEVICE
20260062253 · 2026-03-05 ·

A storage structure for an air duct hose of a hair grooming device is provided, including a first-side host, a second-side host, a connecting member and an air duct hose. The first-side host is configured opposite to the second-side host, thus defining a storage space. The connecting member is disposed within the storage space, one end of the connecting member is connected to the first-side host and the other connected to the second-side host. An air intake port is provided on the connecting member and connected to the air duct hose. The air duct hose is coiled around the connecting member and stored within the storage space. With above configuration, the hair grooming device provides sufficient storage space for the air duct hose. This allows the hose to be made adequately long without occupying excessive space, thereby better aligning with the compact and portable design concept.
