COILED TUBING APPARATUS FOR OIL AND GAS WELL OPERATIONS
A coiled tubing reel apparatus for a coiled tubing unit, suitable oil and gas well operations, is provided. A reel is supported at the outside edge of the reel rims, and driven by one or more drives which interface with the reel. The drives are offset from the rotational axis of the reel.
CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
A cable management system. The cable management system includes a collapsible body. The cable management system also includes a mounting plate attached to the collapsible body, wherein the mounting plate is configured to attach to an external device. The cable management system further includes a faceplate attached to the collapsible body opposite the mounting plate.
Hose or cable reel winder
A hose or cable reel winder provides a handle for winding hose or cable onto a stationary reel and facilitates an orderly winding onto the reel. A guide is attached to an arm and the arm is free to rotate with respect to the stationary reel. The handle rotates in the guide allowing a user to wind hose or cable onto the stationary reel, and slides into and out of the guide to facilitate the orderly winding of the hose or cable onto the reel. The stationary reel does not require couplings between fixed source hoses or cables and a rotating reel, and allows releasing and collecting pairs or groups of hoses or cables.
Earphone Cord Containment Adaptor and Holder
A cord containment adaptor can be adaptively anchored or fixed to or removed from an earphone cord of a set of earphones by hand via an anchor slot of the adaptor. The anchor slot can have a frame or structure that may have multiple earphone cord entrapment chambers and/or an offset or non-linear path leading to an earphone cord entrapment chamber or chambers to help anchor the cord containment adaptor on the cord segment to prevent inadvertent dislodgement of the cord containment adaptor from the earphones. The structure of the anchor slot can be rigid and serves to firmly grip or compress earphone cord segments positioned between gapped-apart opposing sidewalls within the anchor slot. Entrapment chambers of the anchor slot are connected to every other entrapment chamber via cord passageways through which an earphone cord segment can pass. The cord containment adaptor may contain cord containment slots separate from the anchor slot. When a cord containment adaptor is anchored via the anchor slot, earphone cord segments can be gripped into slots in a manner that contains loose cord ends and helps prevent tangling of earphone cords when the earphones are stored or not in use. The adaptor can remain fixed to an earphone cord segment during audio listening by a user and during storage of an earphone set.
Cable management spool
Technology is provided for a cable management spool assembly. The cable management spool assembly includes a spool and one or more arcuate covers. The spool includes a flange portion having a first side configured to confront a mounting surface and a second side opposite the first side. A drum portion extends from the second side of the flange portion and one or more latches extend away from the first side of the flange portion. The latches are positioned to engage one or more corresponding mounting features of the mounting surface. The arcuate covers are coupled to the spool and are pivotable between an open position where a cable may be wound on the drum portion and a closed position where the cable is retained on the drum portion.
TUBE MANAGEMENT DEVICE FOR AN INFUSION SET
Tube management devices are disclosed for use with an infusion set having a flexible tube. An exemplary device includes a central spindle defining an axis, a base member, and an upper member. The base member and upper member may project radially outwardly from the central spindle and may be axially spaced apart. The device may include a plurality of retainer members disposed on at least one of the base member and the upper member. The central spindle, the base member, the upper member, and the plurality of retainer members define a toroidal space sized to receive a variable length of the flexible tube.
INFUSION SET IMPROVEMENTS
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.
Earphone storage device
An earphone storage device includes a storage body having a bobbin, a track, and two sliders. The bobbin has a peripheral surface, an upper surface, a lower surface, a helical groove, and a protrusion. The helical groove is formed on the peripheral surface. The protrusion extends from the lower surface. The protrusion has a side surface and a hole formed in the side surface. The track is secured to the upper surface of the bobbin. The sliders are disposed on the track. The storage body stores earphones with an audio plug, earphone cords, and a pair of earbuds. The audio plug is inserted into the hole of the protrusion of the bobbin, the earphone cords are wound in the helical groove of the bobbin, and the earbuds are held by the sliders. The earphones can be securely stored, and the earphone cords do not tangle.

ELECTRICAL EXTENSION CORD ORGANIZER AND STORAGE DEVICE
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.
