A cable container is provided on a right side surface or a left side surface of a device body of an ultrasound diagnostic device. The cable container is configured to include a container body having an opening that opens upward. An upper end of a front side wall of the container body has a notch that serves as a passage through which a probe cable extends from the inside of the container body toward the outside of the container body.

A drip tape winder for easily and cost-effectively rolling lengths of drip tape in the field is described. The winder comprises a frame and a mandrel rotatably received in the frame and utilizes a battery powered drill to provide the power necessary to turn the mandrel and neatly wind lengths of drip tape thereon.

Holders for wound cables. The holders include retention features to control the rate at which cable windings are unwound during cable deployment. In some examples, the cable holder includes a pair of spaced apart spools and the cable is wound in windings configured as figure-8's. In some examples, the retention features include flexibly resilient fingers positioned to contact the windings at one or more retention points positioned at a deployment end of the holder.

A hose and reel system that includes a reel assembly that is rotatably mounted within a housing. The reel assembly includes an accumulator drum having an inner chamber and the drum is coupled at opposite ends to disc elements. The housing can include a hose guide element for guiding a hose that is spooled about the outer surface of the drum and, if desired, a pair of mandible elements.

This tool provides a means to manually rapidly rewind line onto a spool by serving as both an axle to spin the spool on, and a guide to keep the line positioned over the spool barrel while the spool is spun rapidly, taking up the line that has been payed out.

A mobile hose reel assembly (100) includes a housing (110). The housing (110) includes a first wall (112), a second wall (114) coupled with and disposed opposite to the first wall (112) and a handle portion (116) coupled with the first wall (112) and the second wall (114). The housing (110) further includes a hose reel module (120) housed within the housing (110). The hose reel module (120) includes a hose reel (122), a drive motor (124) operatively coupled to the hose reel (122) and a transmission mechanism (126) adapted to transmit the motion of the drive motor (124) to the hose reel (122). The mobile hose reel assembly (100) is characterized in that the hose reel module (120) is adapted to exhibit a rocking motion relative to the housing (110). Further, the drive motor (124) is selectively activated and deactivated based on the rocking motion of the hose reel module (120) relative to the housing (110).

In accordance with example embodiments a hose reel system including a layout guide is provided.

An improved apparatus, kit, system, and method for a portable garden hose stand is disclosed and described. In one embodiment, a portable garden hose includes a post and a butler. The post may support a garden hose in a raised position above a ground surface. The butler may be separable from the post for winding the garden hose in a hanging position upon the butler. The butler may include an attachment extending from the butler, the attachment including more than one opening, each of the more than one openings including an upper narrower slot and a lower wider slot. A primary support projection and a secondary support projection may extend from a first side of the post, and the primary support projection and the secondary support projection may mate with the more than one openings to support the butler on the post.

A medium processing device includes: a drum that is rotatably supported, that rotates around a rotation axis, and that winds a medium around a peripheral side surface thereof; a first tape that winds the medium sandwiched between the peripheral side surface and the first tape, accompanying rotation of the drum; a movable guide that is movable following a drum diameter of the drum, which changes depending on a winding amount of the medium, and that guides the medium; and a first static electricity elimination section that is provided at the movable guide, that abuts the first tape, and that performs static electricity elimination of an electric charge of the charged first tape.

An end effector device includes a housing, a cable, and a winding mechanism. The cable includes at least one of lines that include a power supply line and a signal line. The winding mechanism is located inside the housing and configured to wind the cable. The winding mechanism includes a case, a reel, and a spiral spring. The reel is supported in the case and allowed to rotate and wind the cable. The spiral spring urges the reel in a retrieval direction of the cable pulled out of the reel.
