A reel device is provided, including a shell body; a rotating shaft, movably and rotatably disposed in the shell body along an axial direction, the rotating shaft including a head section, an exterior circumferential face of the head section circumferentially having a plurality of engaging teeth circumferentially disposed thereon and extending radially; a ratchet assembly, including a first ratchet portion and a second ratchet portion meshed with the first ratchet portion, the first ratchet portion being fixed on the shell body, the second ratchet portion being rotatable relative to the first ratchet portion unidirectionally, the second ratchet portion comovably connected with the rotating shaft; a reel unit, rotatably disposed on the shell body for being connected to at least one rope, the reel unit having a meshed hole extending in the axial direction, the plurality of engaging teeth being radially detachably engaged with the meshed hole.

A trailer has a door coupled to the trailer via a hinge along the bottom of the door, a plurality of pulleys coupled to the trailer, at least one cable passing through the plurality of pulleys and tethered to the door, and a mechanism for releasing and withdrawing the cable through the pulleys, thereby actuating the door. The mechanism for releasing and withdrawing may be a hand crank, a motor, or both.

A hose reel assembly can include a hose reel rotatable about a reel axis, and a first portion of linear material having a first proximal end portion and a first distal end portion, the first distal end portion configured to dispense a fluid. The hose reel assembly can include a second portion of linear material having a second proximal end portion connected to the hose reel and a second distal end portion. A connector can removably attach the second distal end portion of the second portion of linear material with the first proximal end portion of the first portion of linear material. A strain relief member can be configured to control an amount by which the second portion of linear material unspools from the hose reel.

A driven reel trolley includes a carriage having a lower carriage section formed from opposing longitudinal members and transverse connecting members extending between and connecting the opposing longitudinal members. A pair of opposing support beams extend upwardly from the lower carriage. Each beam has a shaft support opening at about the top thereof for accommodating an associated shaft. A pair of non-driven wheels is mounted to the lower carriage section on opposing transverse sides of the lower carriage section and a pair of drive wheels is mounted to the lower carriage section, on opposing transverse sides of the lower carriage section, spaced from the non-driven wheels. A pair of drive trains operably connects the shaft and a respective one of the drive wheels. Each drive train includes a transmission and each transmission is operably engageable with and disengageable from the shaft and its respective drive wheel.

A winding unit for an electric vehicle charging cable includes a rotationally symmetrical reel unit, a rotationally symmetrical internal body, and a rotationally symmetrical round outlet plate. The winding unit has a first winding region, onto which a cable can be wound, and a second winding region in a radial peripheral region of the reel unit. The second winding region is adjacent to the first winding region so that a cable in the second winding region can be wound from a region close to the first winding region alongside one another in the direction of the round outlet plate opposite to a winding direction in the first winding region. The second winding region extends over a radial portion of the internal body. The round outlet plate is rotatable a predetermined number of revolutions together with the reel unit and in order to then be blocked, so that a cable is pushed out of the outlet opening.

A hose guide having a base with a back side, a front side and a hose receiving orifice. A receiver extends from the front side of the base. The receiver has a terminal end that communicates an interior surface and an exterior surface. The terminal end may define a plurality of fillets. A roller assembly is affixed to the back side the base. The roller assembly supports a plurality of rollers for engaging an external surface of a hose. When installed, the hose guide of the invention is flush with a sealing surface, such as a panel, for providing a sealing surface therewith. Rollers are provided for reducing damage to a hose passing therethrough. Use of a complementary shaped stopper helps to prevent an ingress of water and dust through the hose guide, e.g., into a hose reel containing compartment.

The disclosure provides an electric winder and a method for controlling the same. The electric winder includes a winder body, a socket and a controller. When a plug is inserted into the contact assembly through the insertion hole, the strain sensor is configured to detect a deformation of the contact assembly caused by the plug, and send the deformation to the controller. The controller is configured to receive the deformation sent from the strain sensor. When the deformation is greater than a deformation threshold, the controller controls the drive mechanism to be in a stop state to prevent the reel from winding.

A cable coiling system for coiling a cable into a cable coil includes a reel rotatable around a central axis of the reel, a gripper configured to grip a starting end of the cable, and a slide rail extending in a direction perpendicular to the central axis of the reel. The cable is coilable around the reel to form the cable coil by rotating the reel in a state in which the gripper is coupled onto the reel and grips the starting end of the cable. The reel is slidably mounted on the slide rail. A length of the starting end of the cable coiled around the reel is adjustable by moving the reel along the slide rail and rotating the reel around the central axis in a state in which the gripper is separated from the reel and fixed at a predetermined position.

One aspect of the disclosed subject matter is seen in a wire access line drum assembly that includes a tubular drum and an insert positionable therein to accommodate wire access lines of varying diameter. The tubular drum has a first and a second end and an inner and outer surface. The insert is positionable adjacent the first end of the tubular drum and has a curved channel formed therein extending between the inner and outer surfaces of the tubular drum. The insert has a ramp substantially coinciding with the outer surface of the drum at a first end portion and extending above the outer surface of the drum at a second end portion adjacent the curved channel. The height of the ramp at the second end portion is selected to be substantially similar to the diameter of the wire access line to be stored on the drum assembly.
