A system includes a frame and a first pair of rollers coupled to a first side of the frame. The first pair of rollers is configured to support a first end of a pipe reel. The system also includes a first cradle disposed longitudinally between the first pair of rollers and a second pair of rollers coupled to a second side of the frame. The second pair of rollers is configured to support a second end of a pipe reel. The system also includes a second cradle disposed longitudinally between the second pair of rollers, a pipe guide coupled to a third side of the frame between the first and second sides, a pipe brake coupled to the frame, and a pipe re-spooler coupled to the frame.

A cord winding mechanism for a blind cord with a first end fixed to a window blind includes a base, a cord winder rotatably mounted to the base, a cord guiding assembly mounted to the base, and an elastic press member mounted to the base. The cord winder defines an annular slot to wind the blind cord layer by layer. The cord guiding assembly is abutted against an unwound portion of the blind cord between the cord winder and the window blind. A second end of the blind cord is fixed to an end of the cord winder in the slot. The press member is elastically abutted against a portion of the blind cord just separate from the cord winder.

A headphone reel is disclosed comprising a base having a midpoint about an axis and opposed L-shaped flanges extending upwardly and then inwardly toward the midpoint. A spindle, is mounted about the axis between the base and the underside of the inwardly facing flanges. The spindle comprises a central disc segment having an outer circumference. A dial section extends from the top of the disc and has an upper section further extending between and above the flanges, the upper section having slots to receive a loop of the cable. A circumferential shoulder extends outwardly on the dial beneath the flanges. A hollow cylindrical ratchet gear is attached to the underside of the disc, with teeth on the outer surface and a spring catch on the inner surface. The ratchet rests within a semi-circular wall in the base disposed about the axis. A coilable spring connects between the base midpoint and the spring catch to provide rotational force to the spindle. Movement of the spindle, when the spring is pre-tensioned, is controlled by a pawl lever. When the pawl is released, the spring force rotates the spindle to coil the cable into the device.

A vehicle having a door slidably mounted on a shell. The vehicle includes at least one assistance device, comprising both a winder carrying a strap and a receptacle, the winder including a brake for braking unwinding of the strap from the winder, one of the winder and receptacle being fastened to the shell and one of the winder and receptacle being fastened to the door, the strap carrying a latchplate suitable for being reversibly attached to the receptacle.

A spool for use in a blasting system which carries a coiled signal-transmitting conductor which is connected at one end to a detonator and at an opposed end to a connector.

A hose reel 1 comprising a rotatable hub 2 and a stationary stand 4, wherein rotatable hub is arranged to roll on or roll off a hose. A swivel arrangement 3 forms an axis around a central axis of the rotatable hub, wherein the swivel arrangement comprises a rotatable part connecting to the rotatable hub and a stationary part connecting to the stationary stand, and wherein the swivel arrangement forms a passage for fluid.
