The quick physical restraint system has a binding, a dispenser, and a shield. The binding is deployed to wrap around a suspect to reduce the need to physically engage before placing the suspect into custody. The dispenser allows the binding to uncoil and be stored. The shield covers the binding to ensure it does not attach to the user. The binding has hooks, a latch and a binding handle. The hook is a metal spike along the binding length that is used to penetrate the suspects' clothing. The binding handle ensures the binding can be held without the dispenser. The dispenser has a binding spool, a binding cutter, a handle, a shield rail, a spool trigger, and a spool stopper. The binding spool is a cylindrical section that rolls out the binding. This design allows the binding to be deployed through the dispenser or used as a standalone device.

A system and method are provided for controlling retraction of a charging cable of a charge cable management system for charging an electric vehicle. The retraction is only allowed after certain conditions are met. These conditions correspond to the end of a charging session, and may relate to determining a connection of a charge plug on a cable used for the charging session with a charge plug dock of the cable management system, determining a release of a charge plug on a cable used for the charging session from a vehicle inlet socket of the vehicle that was being charged, determining a retraction state of the cable, receiving a user input related to ending the charging session or any combination thereof.

A swivel connector for a retractable assembly comprises a body defining a hollow portion, an indicator block received within the hollow portion of the body and sized to be movable within the body, a support upon which the indicator block rests, the support being movable relative to the body, and a yoke to which a lifeline can be connected, the yoke being connected to the support. The yoke and support move relative to the hollow portion of the body in unison, such that movement of the yoke and body relative to each other will cause the indicator block to move relative to the body between a first position and a second position, and wherein the indicator block is visible when in at least one of said first and second positions, to indicate that the retractable has been subject to a fall.

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 reel transport, stand and payoff device is provided, which operates to maneuver and jack up a reel for payoff. The reel device may include two reel mechanisms coupled together with a first support member and a second support member. Each reel mechanism includes a wheel housing and a wheel coupled to a central portion of the wheel housing. Each reel mechanism includes an arm coupled on an end to a central portion of the wheel housing. An actuator is coupled between the wheel housing and the arm to raise or lower the arm. The reel device may include at least one caster to help support and stabilize the reel device. A shaft is inserted through a reel and coupled on each end to an arm by a bracket. A method of use of a reel transport, stand and payoff device is also disclosed.

A laser machining apparatus includes, a processing chamber, a window disposed in a surface of the processing chamber, a substrate carrier disposed inside the processing chamber and facing the window, a laser irradiator which irradiates a laser onto the substrate carrier through the window, a protector supplier disposed on a side of the processing chamber, a protector retriever disposed on an opposite side of the processing chamber opposite to the side of the processing chamber, and a protector which connects the protector supplier with the protector retriever, where at least a portion of the protector is disposed between the substrate carrier and the window in the processing chamber.

Systems, methods, and apparatus related to a homing mechanism within a drive mechanism of a lacing engine for an automated footwear platform are described. In an example, the homing apparatus can include an indexing wheel, a plurality of Geneva teeth and a stop tooth. The plurality of Geneva teeth can be distributed around a portion of a perimeter of the indexing wheel. Each Geneva tooth of the plurality of Geneva teeth can include side profiles conforming to a first side profile that generates a first force when engaged by an index tooth on a portion of the drive mechanism. The stop tooth can be located along the perimeter of the indexing wheel between two Geneva teeth. Additionally, the stop tooth can include side profiles conforming to a second side profile that generates a second force when engaged by the index tooth.

A fish tape tool includes a housing and a chamber defined in the housing. A drum is configured to be inserted into the chamber of the housing. The drum contains a fish tape. The drum is rotatable relative to the housing to dispense or retract the fish tape from the housing. The drum is one of a plurality of drums that are insertable into and removable from the chamber of the housing. Each drum contains a different type of fish tape.

A dispenser for dispensing plastic film for vehicle repair, the dispenser including: a first support adapted to rotatably support a roll of plastic film, and an aperture, wherein the plastic film can be pulled through the aperture from the roll and retracted through the aperture towards the roll.

A reel assembly machine for assembling a bottom flange and a top flange to a reel core of a reel includes a lower assembly device including a support plate for supporting the bottom flange of the reel. The lower assembly device includes a locating jig for positioning the bottom flange on the support plate. The lower assembly device includes a lower staple gun configured to staple the bottom flange to the reel core. The reel assembly machine includes an upper assembly device including a pressure plate configured to press against the top flange and hold the reel core between the bottom flange and the top flange. The upper assembly device includes an upper staple gun configured to staple the top flange to the reel core.
