The hose caddy for expandable hoses comprises a housing formed from a bottom surface and sidewalls to define an open interior. A top is hingedly coupled to the housing to control access to the interior of the housing. A flexible elongated body is coupled to the housing using a guidance rail assembly. The flexible elongated body can be extended or retracted along the guidance rail assembly, and includes a hook for attaching the hose caddy to a water faucet.

A pool vacuuming system is comprised generally of a control box, containing a reel motor, and a reel box comprised of a turnable reel and a vacuum hose. The reel motor is powered and operated independently of the pool pump. Separate powering of this system from the pool pump negates issues of reduced power when the pool filter goes uncleaned. Since the vacuum reel is powered and operated by the separate control unit, the vacuum hose is allowed to move in and out of the reel box every time the pool pump turns off or on with consistent power and efficiency, making the movement of the hose more reliable.

A hand-tool retractor cover includes a body portion and a handle portion attached to and extending from the body portion. The body portion has a first-side wall, a second-side wall spaced apart from and substantially parallel to the first-side wall, and a perimeter wall extending transversely between and connecting the first-side wall to the second-side wall. The body portion defines a retractor compartment between the first-side wall, the second-side wall, and the perimeter wall. The body portion also defines an entrance into the retractor compartment and a retractor cable opening. The handle portion defines a handle opening and is made of a stretchable and resilient material. The stretchable and resilient material is adapted to increase a weight rating of a hand tool retractor when a hand tool retractor is placed within the hand tool retractor cover.

An automatic wireless decoy jerk string system is disclosed. The system includes a main housing, a drive housing, and a flotation housing. The main housing contains a retractable reel wound with a line. The drive housing contains a direct current motor, a battery for powering the motor, and a wireless receiver. The flotation housing contains a counterweight and flotation material. The drive housing and the flotation housing are attached to either side of the main housing. A drive shaft runs from the drive housing through the main housing and into the flotation housing. The motor engages the drive shaft to operate the reel. The motor is controlled by signals from the receiver in response to a wireless signal received by the receiver from a remote control to cause the reel to alternatingly retract the line and let out the line.

A cable snake and a method of assembling a cable snake. The cable snake may include a housing assembly defining a cavity; an actuator rotatably supported by the housing; and a tape operable to be wound into and unwound out of the cavity, the tape applying an unwinding force. A force may be applied to the actuator and the housing assembly, the force resisting the unwinding force. A retainer assembly may be provided between and integral with the actuator and the tape.

Apparatus for securing the working end of an elongated flexible conductor of fluid or electricity to an elevated work platform comprising a locking C clamp having movable opposed jaws adapted to secure the clamp to the platform and where one of the clamping jaws mounts an adapter that provides an attachment point for connecting a hose or electrical cable to the platform, thus eliminating the necessity of a workman on the platform supporting the weight of and controlling a long length of hose or cable extending from the platform to the ground.

An inversion unit assembly is provided that is releasably connected to a wheelbase such that the inversion unit can be quickly removed from the wheelbase and carried separately from the inversion unit. The assembly includes a lining drum having a cylindrical body having an open end and a viewing opening. The lining drum includes two inlets for compressed air and an outlet for liner. The lining drum also includes a rotatable wheel secured to an internal shaft for which the liner can be released from the drum in a controllable fashion. The assembly also includes a wheelbase that can be separated from the inversion lining drum wherein the wheelbase includes a plurality of locking mechanisms and wheels.

A CIPP liner reel system for managing the utilization and deployment of CIPP liners. The CIPP liner reel system generally includes a frame connected to a reel and drive unit. The drive unit is connected to the reel to control the rotation of its core. This core contains an opening that provides access to a connector unit within the core. This connector unit can be used to connect the reel to the end of a CIPP liner using a strap. Rotation of the core causes CIPP liner to wind on to or unwind from the reel. The reel may also contain a left guide member and a right guide member to assist in controlling the process of winding and unwinding the CIPP liner. The frame may also include a tractor connector that enables the CIPP liner reel system to be coupled to and transported by a tractor without affecting its operation.

The invention relates to a winch comprising a winding device, which is simply constructed and works very reliably, regardless of the position and orientation of the winch.

A stackable spool cable manager assembly is disclosed which comprises a plurality of like cable manager spools. The cable manager spools comprise a locking mechanism such that the cable manager spools can be stacked and such that when locked together a cable support arm of each the cable manager spools is offset from the others. A magnet is also provided, for example for securing to a bottom ne of a stack of cable manager spools such that they can be secured to a metal tray or the like.
