A faucet system includes a housing assembly configured to be coupled to a ceiling structure, wherein the housing includes a mixing valve disposed therein. The faucet system further includes a hose assembly coupled to the housing assembly. The hose assembly includes a flexible hose being fluidly coupled to the mixing valve and configured to hang below the housing assembly, a rotatable arm coupled to the housing assembly, and a control knob communicably coupled to the mixing valve. The rotatable arm is configured to facilitate rotation and adjustment of the hose and the control knob configured to control at least one of a temperature or a flow of water within the faucet system.

A cable retractor 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 electricity 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.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to recoilers, merchandise security systems, and methods for displaying and protecting an article of merchandise from theft. In one example, the merchandise security system includes a sensor configured to be secured to the article of merchandise and a base for removably supporting the sensor and the item of merchandise thereon. The system also includes a recoiler operably coupled to the sensor. The recoiler includes a rotatable member defining a helical recess. The system further includes a cable configured to connect to the sensor and to be unwound from and wound on the rotatable member as the cable is extended and retracted. The cable is configured to be extended from the recoiler in response to the sensor being lifted off of the base, and the cable is configured to be retracted into the recoiler in response to the sensor being moved to a seated position on the base. The helical recess is configured to at least partially receive the cable therein as the cable is wound on the rotatable member.

A fastening device including a case unit, a spool, a driving unit, a knob and a connecting unit is provided. The case unit has a radial direction and an axial direction and includes an annular wall. The annular wall surrounds an inner space. The spool is within the inner space and includes an axial space including a large-diameter segment and a small-diameter segment, and the small-diameter segment is connected to the large-diameter segment along the axial direction. The driving unit is disposed above the spool along the axial direction, and the driving unit selectively prohibits the spool from rotating in a loosening direction. The knob is disposed above the driving unit along the axial direction, and the knob is coupled to the driving unit. The connecting unit is connected to the knob, and the connecting unit is disposed within the axial space and limited within the large-diameter segment.
