A self-exercise device that provides resistance to tugging, and is operable to intermittently change the resistance so as to mimic an actual tug-of-war game. The device includes ball gallery and ratchet structures that cooperate to provide additional intermittent resistance to provide action to the device that mimics an actual tug-of-war experience wherein the opposing resistance is randomly changing.

The present invention generally relates to the field of seat covers and specifically to novel means for storing, installing and removing seat covers from seats. In its simplest form, the device comprises a removable seat cover, a mounting element for installing the seat cover and a retraction system for removing the seat cover.

A cable adjuster contains a gear shaft, a base, a rotatable disc, and a cable. The gear shaft includes a first column, a second column, a circular peg, and a threaded orifice. The base includes a first fixer and a second fixer. The first fixer has a first groove, and the second fixer has a second groove. An accommodation chamber is defined between the first groove and the second groove, the first fixer has a toothed notch and a circular notch, and the second fixer has a hollow shoulder, two T-shaped slots, and two holders. The rotatable disc includes a fixing orifice, a cylinder, and a recess. A head of the cable is received in the second fixer via the two T-shaped slots and is engaged in the recess so that an extension is fixed in one holder, and the rotatable disc is received in the second groove.

An unequal-torque coil spring and a spring motor thereof which is adapted for a curtain set that can automatically fold back a curtain; the same provides a feedback torque that responds to different stages of a curtain-folding working process and generates various corresponding torque in response, as each of the different stages requires a different force. Consequently, the curtain can be folded back at a steady speed, and positionally fixed at any height when the curtain is lowered.

A device used to release, retract, and store a cable or a cable-like structure that provides an easy solution for cable or cable-like structure applications. The device can be used for all kinds of electronic devices in private entities and public facilities tidily and safely. Applying the devices within the present patent application will significantly reduce safety hazards caused by ill-placed or tangled cables or cable-like structures while also storing said cables or cable-like structures when not in use.
