An electrical cord reel assembly can include a spool configured to wind and unwind an electrical cord therefrom. The electrical cord reel assembly can include a motor configured to rotate the spool to wind and unwind the electrical cord about the spool. The electrical cord reel assembly can include a controller in electrical communication with the motor and the electrical cord. The controller can be configured to, in response to an unwind command, place or maintain the electrical cord in a power off state. The controller can be configured to in response to the unwind command, transmit an unwind signal to the motor to cause the motor to unwind the electrical cord from the spool. The controller can be configured to automatically place the electrical cord in a power on state based at least in part on an amount of rotation of the spool during the unwinding.

A waterproof storage system includes a protective housing member configured to mate with a handheld electronic device. The protective housing member includes at least one accessory station. The accessory station is configured to form between a surface of the protective housing member and a surface of at least one accessory item of the handheld electronic device. The protective housing member includes first and second housing parts. At least one sealing element positioned between the first and second housing parts provides a waterproof seal to protect the components of the waterproof storage system.

A cord storage device for winding and storing a cord is provided. The storage device has a main body, a first pivot arm and a second pivot arm. The main body has a bore extending therethrough from the first end to the second end, and a longitudinal slit adjacent the bore to provide access to the bore for inserting the cord. The first pivot arm is pivotally connected to the main body adjacent the first end and the second pivot arm is pivotally connected to the main body adjacent the second end. The pivot arms pivot between a first stop position generally linear with the main body and a second stop position at an angle to the main body. The first and second pivot arms pivot away from the main body in opposite directions.

A multifunctional hub according to the present invention includes a box body, and the box body is provided with a sliding cavity with an upward opening therein, and an annular slider is slidably slid in the sliding cavity. The multifunctional hub of the present invention has simple and clear operation, sensitive response, saving time and labor; at the same time, the device of the present invention is rich in functions, fixed and reliable, and highly practical.

A device tethering system is provided for securing a device to a source location as may be assisted by a tether. The device tethering system may include a retraction component, tether, pouch, belt, device mounting component, device aspect of the device mounting component, and/or tether aspect of the device mounting component. A method for securing a device to a source location using the device tethering system is also provided.

A retractable leash device has a first handle for holding the device, a spool and a leash wound on the spool. There is a spring-based rewind mechanism for the leash. A second handle is provided for manually retracting the leash. A mechanical coupling between the second handle and the spool provides a second rewind mechanism for the leash. This second rewind mechanism is used to pull an animal back toward the owner in a safe and convenient way.

A coating film transfer tool in which a rotational torque with the least variability may be generated without being affected by a surface state of a resilient body may include: a paying-out core having a coating film transfer tape wound thereon; and a rewinding core that rewinds the coating film transfer tape after use. The paying-out core and the rewinding core are interlocked via a power transmission mechanism in a case. The transmission mechanism generates a rotational torque by a frictional force on a sliding surface between components, by using a restoring force of a resilient body. The resilient body is configured to rotate integrally with a component A that comes into contact with one end of the resilient body and a component B that comes into contact with 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.
