A novel lacing device and an anti-reverse mechanism thereof are provided. The lacing device uses a novel swing arm-stop piece-gap mechanism as the anti-reverse mechanism, and the anti-reverse mechanism has double self-locking functions and a reverse deviation limiting function. Three effects are integrated, such that the lacing device using the novel anti-reverse mechanism not only has excellent hand feeling when the lace is tensioned, but also can effectively avoid the accidental loosening of the lace, and has excellent use reliability and durability.

Provided is a winding device configured so that the entirety of the device can be thinned and looseness of an elongated member can be reduced. In a winding device 1A, a flat motor 2 is used as a motor, and a spool 3 and a magical planetary gear mechanism 4 are formed flat along an extending XY plane of the flat motor 2. Thus, the entirety of the device can be configured flat, and can be thinned. Moreover, the magical planetary gear mechanism 4 prevents rotation of the spool 3 by external force, and therefore, looseness of the elongated member can be reduced.

This application relates to electric winders, particularly, to an intelligent electric winder and a control method therefor. The intelligent electric winder includes a support, a control unit and a winder body, where the winder body includes a casing, a winding reel, a drive structure, and a cable. The drive structure is electrically connected to the control unit. The control unit includes: a socket and a host; the host is arranged inside the casing, and the socket is arranged outside the casing; a start/stop button is provided on a surface of the socket, and the socket is connected to a free end of the cable. Through the intelligent electric winder and a control method therefor, the winding reel is controlled to start or stop winding by sending a wireless control signal, so that the intelligent electric winder is controlled to wind or unwind cables through the wireless communication.

An emergency bi-fold door closing prevention system includes a building having an access opening with an upper edge. A bi-fold door is hingedly mounted to the building wall and includes a plurality of panels each being laterally elongated. The plurality of panels includes a bottom panel having a bottom edge that is positionable adjacent to a floor surface to define a closed position. A safety line assembly is attached to and extends between the building wall adjacent to the upper edge and the bi-fold door adjacent to the bottom edge. The safety line has an extendable length. The length of the safety line assembly extends when the bi-fold door moves toward the closed position below a threshold velocity. The length of the safety line assembly is inhibited from extending when the bi-fold door moves toward the closed position above the threshold velocity to prevent unimpeded falling of the bi-fold door.

A device for receiving a suction hose that connects a nozzle of a vacuuming device to a central unit of the vacuuming device. The device is has at least one holding device that can be arranged on the central unit of the vacuuming device, wherein the suction hose is able to be fitted in the at least one holding device such that the hose can be accommodated in a secure and stable manner. This advantageously makes it possible for the user of the vacuuming device to be able to adapt the length of the suction hose as required to the task currently to be performed. Here, the unused part of the suction hose is stored in a particularly secure and stable manner in the device or in cavities of the device that can be formed between the at least one holding device and a rear part. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a vacuuming device having a central unit that is connected to a suction hose having a nozzle.

A display device is disclosed. The display device according to the present disclosure may include: a flexible display panel; a module cover which is disposed at a rear of the display panel; a roller on or from which the display panel and the module cover are wound or unwound; a sensor which is disposed adjacent to the display panel and the module cover so as to sense movements of the display panel and the module cover; and a controller which controls a degree of winding or unwinding of the display panel and the module cover on or from the roller based on information on the movements acquired by the sensor.

A web retractor may include a frame with spaced-apart first and second side walls and a bottom wall coupling together the side walls, the frame defining an opening through the first side wall, the second side wall or the bottom wall, a spool rotatably mounted to and between the first and second side walls and spaced apart from the opening, a web having one end mounted to the spool, the spool being rotatable to take up and pay out at least some of the web, and a web deflector mounted to at least one of the first side wall, the second sidewall and the bottom wall and positioned between the spool and the opening, the web deflector configured to guide the web from the spool out of the web retractor through the opening and to guide the web into the retractor and to the spool through the opening.

In an example, a lacing engine apparatus can include a housing and a drivetrain. The housing can be securable within a footwear article. The drivetrain can include a motor, a sun gear, a planet gear, a rotating ring gear, and a spool. The spool can be secured to the ring gear and can be rotatable therewith. The spool can be configured to control a lace of the footwear article and can be configured to wind the lace as the ring gear rotates in a first direction.

A charging station for charging an electric vehicle with a housing which has a rear side and a visible side located opposite thereto, wherein between the rear side and the visible side there is formed a storage region adapted to compactly hold a charging cable provided with a charging plug. A decorative element connected to the housing and/or the charging plug and/or a stand supporting the housing is/are provided.
