The invention relates to a modular rotary feed-through (1, 2) for circular movements across a limited rotational angle of one or multiple lines such as cables, hoses, or the like between two connecting points (A, B) which are rotatable relative to one another about a rotational axis. Therein, the line(s) is/are guided in an uninterrupted manner, i.e., without slip rings, rotary couplings or the like. The rotary feed-through (1, 2) has a first winding core (11a, 11) which is rotatable about the rotational axis (R) and which has a first energy guide chain (12a, 12) which winds and unwinds in a spiraling manner, correspondingly to a planar spiral. According to the invention, at least one second winding core (11b, 11) is provided axially adjacent, coaxial and rotatable about the rotational axis (R) relative to the first winding core (11a, 11), which second winding core (11b, 11) is equipped with a second energy guide chain (12b, 12). During its rotation, the second winding core (11b, 11) winds and unwinds the second energy guide chain (12b, 12) in a spiraling manner, correspondingly to a planar spiral. Furthermore, according to the invention, a connection (17, 27) for the uninterrupted feed-through of the at least one line is provided between the first energy guide chain (12a, 12) and the second energy guide chain (12b, 12).

A portable retractable oxygen tubing reel providing improved portability and mechanical reeling functionality. The portable retractable oxygen tubing reel includes tubing wrapped around an inner circular component stored within an outer storage compartment whereby a handle attached to the inner circular component may be rotated to wind or unwind tubing from the portable retractable oxygen tubing reel. Tubing may then be connected to a medical oxygen storage device at one end and a nasal oxygen cannula positioned near in proximity to a patient's nose for breathing oxygen at the other end.

A flexible pipe containment sled includes a platform and a first sled portion coupled to a bottom surface of the platform. The first sled portion is disposed at a first side of the platform. The sled also includes a second sled portion coupled to the bottom surface of the platform. The second sled portion is disposed at a second side of the platform opposite to the first side of the platform. The sled also includes a passage formed between the first and second sled portions. The passage is configured to allow a flexible pipe to pass through the passage while the flexible pipe containment sled is placed on a surface.

A cord reel assembly including a single, continuous cord having stationary and retractable segments, with the stationary segment including multiple connectors and sheath covering such connectors where the connectors twist and untwist relative to the sheath in response to the retract and extension of the retractable segment.

A hose reel unit for a high-pressure washer has a hose reel and a reel hose arranged in its receptacle. The hose reel is rotatable about an axis of rotation for winding and unwinding the reel hose. The first end of the reel hose is connectable to a supply line and the second end to a washer wand of the high-pressure washer. The hose reel has sidewalls delimiting the receptacle in a direction of the axis of rotation. The first end of the reel hose extends to the first sidewall and is coaxial to the axis of rotation. A guide device arranged between the sidewalls guides the reel hose such that the axis of rotation extends through the reel hose. The guide device is spaced apart form the first end of the reel hose at a support distance measured in a direction of the axis of rotation.

A refueling system, comprising a drum rotatable to wind and unwind a hose, a carriage guiding the hose and lineally displaceable along a shaft parallel to the longitudinal direction of the drum so as to follow the movement of the hose along the drum. The shaft allows the displacement of the carriage along its length. A motor is coupled to the carriage and displaces the carriage along the shaft. A first position sensor communicates with the carriage to obtain its position. A second position sensor communicates with the drum to obtain the position of the hose. A control system is coupled to the first and the second sensor, to compare their obtained positions and to operate the motor.

A frictionless service carriage system including: a shaft 1 having a first 2 and a second 3 helix-shaped guide in its surface, each helix shaped-guide 2, 3 defining a linear movement along the longitudinal axis of the shaft 1 of a carriage 4 in opposite directions and both helix shaped-guides 2, 3 crossing each other 2, 3 along the longitudinal axis of the shaft 1, wherein the carriage 4 includes a movable element 5 located successively in each of the helix-shaped guides 2, 3 and movable along the guides 2, 3, the movable element 5 comprising a set of rolling elements 6 along the first or second helix-shaped guide 2, 3 of the shaft 1 and configured such that in a crossing with the other helix-shaped guide 2, 3, the set of rolling elements 6 has at least two contact points with the helix-shaped guide 2, 3 for which it rolls.

A strap length adjusting apparatus includes first and second stationary plates and a middle plate disposed between them. The middle plate can rotate relative to the first and second stationary plates. A biasing device is linked to first and second coupling members between the middle plate and the first plate. The biasing device can either couple the middle plate to the first plate or decouple the middle plate from the first plate. When the first and middle plates are decoupled from each other, the middle plate can rotate with respect to the first plate, and a strap partially wound about a rod that extends from the middle plate, can wind about the rod either clockwise or counterclockwise so as to continuously change a length of the strap that extends away from the rod.

A hosed-reeling apparatus comprising a hose reel and a rack having a front opening for demountably receiving and supporting the hose reel. The hose reel has two sidewalls, a connection member concentrically coupling the two sidewalls, and two spindles extending laterally outward from the centers of the two sidewalls, respectively. The rack has at least a base framework, and a locking structure configurable between an unlock position and a lock position. The base framework has two upward facing channels on opposite sides thereof for demountably receiving the hose reel spindles. The channels are accessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the unlock position, and the channels are inaccessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the lock position. Each of the sidewalls of the hose reel may have at least one straight outer edge, allowing the hose reel sit stably on a horizontal surface or a ramp.
