In one example, an apparatus is provided that includes a trailer, one or more rotatable reels mounted to the trailer and configured to hold a length of flexible pipe, a motor configured and arranged to rotate any of the reels, an assembly/disassembly station arranged to slide along the trailer to selectively align with one of the reels, and a line regulator configured to move in unison with the assembly/disassembly station so as to be selectively alignable with any of the reels.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed related to spooling and unspooling linear material. Such apparatus and methods can assist the user in deploying and/or retracting linear material.

A hose guide for a hose reel deck box is provided. More specifically, the hose guide is a one piece, or unitary body, component. The unitary body hose guide is structured to snap-fit to one or two travel bars that are part of the unitary body of the hose reel deck box housing assembly. The hose guide preferably includes two semi-enclosed passages that are structured to be slidably coupled to the travel bars.

A magnetic attraction type cord winding module, comprising a rotary wheel (9) on which a cord (10) is wound and a stop button (4) working cooperatively with the rotary wheel (9). The cord winding module further comprises at least one pair of magnet blocks, and the at least one pair of magnet blocks comprise a first magnet (3) disposed on the stop button (4) and a second magnet (5) disposed on the rotary wheel (9). The stop button (4) automatically brakes the rotary wheel (9) under the action of an attractive force or a repulsive force of the magnet blocks and prevents the rotary wheel (9) from retracting the cord (10). The magnet block disposed on the stop button (4) does not protrude from the upper surface of the stop button (4), and the magnet block disposed on the rotary wheel (9) is flattened.

A resistance mechanism is adapted to provide frictional resistance to a cord of a window covering. The resistance mechanism includes a bias member and a resistance assembly adjacent to the cord. The resistance assembly can be operated by the movement of the cord synchronously. The resistance assembly is corresponding to the bias member, and when the cord is moved in a retrieved direction or a released direction, the bias member suppresses a movement of the resistance assembly, and thereby the resistance assembly provides a resistance to the cord. When the cord is pulled in the retrieved direction, the bias member provides a first frictional resistance to the resistance assembly; when the cord is pulled in a released direction, the bias member provides a second frictional resistance to the resistance assembly, and the second frictional resistance is different from the first frictional resistance.

A method and device for adjusting the unstored length of tubing directed to improving the use of infusion sets that deliver fluids to a user. The device includes a storage module and other features for adjusting, storing and securing the length of the tubing. The method of adjusting the length of the tubing to a desired length typically comprises removably attaching the tubing to the adjuster, adjusting the tubing by wrapping the tubing around a hub or post of the adjuster, and fixing the length of the unstored tubing by attaching the tubing to a securing device such as a friction structure or fastener.

A cable retractor is disclosed and includes a housing. A spool is disposed within the housing and is mechanically coupled to the housing and rotatable about an axis. A spring mechanism is operatively attached to the spool and is configured to urge the spool to rotate in a first rotational direction about the axis. An electrically operated rotation regulator is operatively attached to the spool and is configured to, when activated, prevent the spool from rotating in the first rotational direction.

A CIPP liner reel system for managing the utilization and deployment of CIPP liners. The CIPP liner reel system generally includes a frame connected to a reel and drive unit. The drive unit is connected to the reel to control the rotation of its core. This core contains an opening that provides access to a connector unit within the core. This connector unit can be used to connect the reel to the end of a CIPP liner using a strap. Rotation of the core causes CIPP liner to wind on to or unwind from the reel. The reel may also contain a left guide member and a right guide member to assist in controlling the process of winding and unwinding the CIPP liner. The frame may also include a tractor connector that enables the CIPP liner reel system to be coupled to and transported by a tractor without affecting its operation.

A pipeline inspection system including a first drum including a first cable having a first camera disposed on a distal end of the first cable, where the first cable is received within an interior of the first drum and is configured to be directed into a conduit, a second drum including a second cable having a second camera disposed on a distal end of the second cable, where the second cable is received within an interior of the second drum and is configured to be directed into a conduit, and a hub housing electrical components for operation of the pipeline inspection system, where the hub is removably received in the interior of the first drum, and where the hub is selectively removable from the first drum and insertable into an interior of the second drum.

Electrical cord organization and storage devices are provided which include a central body ring having a generally U-shaped cross-section and establishes a concave cradle to receiving an electrical cord therein. The central body ring may be formed such that it includes an opposed pair of radiused end surfaces and an opposed pair of convexly curved side surfaces having ends jointed to the end surfaces. The radiused end surfaces and the convexly curved side surfaces will therefore define a central opening having a generally symmetrical oblong, oval or elliptical shape.
