Dual-bearing reel
A dual-bearing reel according to the present disclosure enables a rotatably supported spool between a left and a right side panel of a reel body to be rotated with a handle provided at one of the side panels and includes a movement restraining portion that is provided on an outer peripheral surface of a counter handle-side one of the side panels of the reel body, and that prevents a pressing thumb of a hand from moving outward from the counter handle-side one of the side panels.
Fishing reel and arm system
Fishing reel system embodiments herein include an extendable arm assembly and a reel assembly rotatably attached thereto. Certain reel assembly embodiments include an adjustable drag washer stack that can be adjustably compressed to adjust the amount of friction within the washer stack. Other implementations include solely a reel assembly with such an adjustable drag washer stack.
One-way clutch unit for fishing reel and fishing reel
A one-way clutch unit for a fishing reel is disclosed. The one-way clutch is configured to brake a rotation of a shaft member of the fishing reel. The one-way clutch includes a rolling element and an outer member. The rolling element contacts the shaft member in a radial direction away from an axle of the shaft member. The outer member is disposed outside the rolling element in the radial direction. The outer member is configured to rotate in only one direction along a circumferential direction around the axle. The outer member includes a first external force receiving portion that receives a first external force in an axial direction of the shaft member.
ULTRASOUND DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE
A cable container is provided on a right side surface or a left side surface of a device body of an ultrasound diagnostic device. The cable container is configured to include a container body having an opening that opens upward. An upper end of a front side wall of the container body has a notch that serves as a passage through which a probe cable extends from the inside of the container body toward the outside of the container body.
UNIVERSAL POWER CORD HANDLING DEVICE
A power cord handling device and a method to adjust a power cord extending from a device are provided. A frame assembly may include a base supporting a device receiving area to receive a device. A wheel assembly may be adapted to facilitate coiling of a power cord extending from the device when the device is disposed in the device receiving area. The wheel assembly may include a protrusion member. The protrusion member may include one or more slots. A controller may be configured to control a wheel assembly motor. Guide arms may be adapted to receive one or more second portions of the power cord extending from the device and to guide the power cord during a power cord handling operation. The controller may be configured to cause the wheel assembly to perform a power cord handling operation.
Drill-Powered Drip Tape Winder and Method of Use
A drip tape winder for easily and cost-effectively rolling lengths of drip tape in the field is described. The winder comprises a frame and a mandrel rotatably received in the frame and utilizes a battery powered drill to provide the power necessary to turn the mandrel and neatly wind lengths of drip tape thereon.
AUTOMATED FOOTWEAR LACING SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND TECHNIQUES
The specification discusses various lacing engine configurations for use in an automated footwear platform. For example, lacing engines with mechanisms to detect lace cable position and/or lace cable tensions are discussed. In an example, the lacing engine can include a housing, a lace spool and a detection mechanism. The lace spool can be at least partially disposed within the housing, and be adapted to collect a portion of the lace cable in response to rotation in a first direction during tightening of the footwear platform. The detection mechanism can detect a state of the lace cable manipulated by the lacing engine.
PET TRACTOR WITH STORAGE BIN AND STORAGE BIN OPENING CONTROL METHOD
A pet tractor with a storage bin and a storage bin opening control method. The pet tractor comprises a shell, a rotating wheel, a storage bin, a braking assembly and a locking assembly, wherein the rotating wheel is arranged on the shell, and a traction rope is arranged on the rotating wheel; the storage bin is arranged at one side of the shell; the braking assembly is arranged on the shell, is arranged above the rotating wheel and is used for limiting the rotation of the rotating wheel; the locking assembly is arranged on the shell, located at one side of the braking assembly and used for controlling the braking assembly to be in a braking state and controlling the storage bin to be opened and closed.
Cord reel including a polymeric sheath with a conductive EMI drain
A cord reel cable including a polymeric sheath with a conductive EMI drain and a method of manufacture therefor. The cord reel includes a cable comprising power and data conductors, as wells as a single drain wire which is grounded to a cord reel housing or spool or the like. The drain wire contacts an outer ETFE layer surrounding the cable in order to provide EMI shielding to the cable.
Apparatus and method for spooling wire
A reel apparatus comprising a pipe; an outer flange assembly comprising two outer support walls connected to the pipe and wherein each outer support wall comprises an inner wall and an outer wall; an inner flange assembly comprising two inner support walls, wherein the inner flange assembly is rotated relative to the outer flange assembly and the pipe and wherein each inner support wall comprises an inner wall and an outer wall; and a motor assembly connected to the inner flange assembly and outer flange assembly, wherein the motor assembly is physically connect to the outer flange assembly and wherein the motor assembly is rotationally connected to the inner flange assembly.
