Coil Pro
A coiling device on which a rope, extension cord, or other materials can be coiled. A coiling device allows for additional tools to be included and/or coupled to it. A coiling device that can be coupled to a shaft, whether telescopic or otherwise. A coiling device that can be coupled to a shaft via a clamp.
Cord storage device
A cord storage device has a base member with two sides, and a plug receptacle extending from one side. The plug receptacle anchors a plug end of an electronic device cord and forms a core about which the cord can be wound. A flexible retaining wall is coupled to the base member and moves between a closed position on the one side and an open position on the other side of the base member. In the closed position, an annular space is formed for the wound cord.
Hitch-mounted wire unroller apparatus
A collapsible wire unroller apparatus having a frame including cradles for supporting a spindle having spools of wire. A bottom support mounted to one portion of the frame connects to a rear hitch of the all-terrain vehicle (ATV). Left and right adjustable straps mounted to another portion of the frame connect to a rear cargo rack of the ATV and reduce the weight of the spindles placed on the rear hitch.
Mobile hose reel
A mobile hose reel traversable between a mobile mode and a stationary mode. The mobile hose reel comprises a first side frame assembly having a first rotatable side wall and a first side frame assembly elongated body. The first side frame assembly elongated body is slidably engaged with at least a portion of the first rotatable side wall and is configured to secure to a first pair of stability members. A second side frame assembly comprises a second rotatable side wall and a second side frame assembly elongated body. The second side frame assembly elongated body is slidably engaged with at least a portion of the second rotatable side wall and is configured to secure to a second pair of stability members. Traversal of the first and second side assemblies upwardly or downwardly about a longitudinal axis traverses the mobile hose reel between a mobile orientation and a stationary orientation.

PORTABLE PIPE INSPECTION SYSTEMS AND APPARATUS
An intelligent cable storage drum system for use in a pipe inspection system may include a cable storage drum, a video push-cable disposed on the cable storage drum having a proximal end and a distal end for coupling to a camera, and a transceiver module operatively coupled to an output at the distal end of the camera for providing camera output signals to the transceiver module.
Reel transport, stand and payoff device
A reel transport, stand and payoff device is provided, which operates to maneuver and jack up a reel for payoff. The reel device may include two reel mechanisms coupled together with a hydraulic system housing. Each reel mechanism includes a wheel housing and a wheel coupled to a central portion of the wheel housing. Each reel mechanism includes an arm coupled on an end to a central portion of the wheel housing. An actuator is coupled between the wheel housing and the arm to raise or lower the arm. The reel device may include at least one caster to help support and stabilize the reel device. An axle is inserted through a reel and coupled on each end to an arm by a bracket. A method of use of a reel transport, stand and payoff device is also disclosed.
Underwater device and underwater system
A handling device includes a winch comprising a frame, intended to be attached to a structure of the surface vessel and a first drum capable of turning relative to the frame about a first rotation axis and an assembly comprising at least one second drum which surrounds the first drum and is capable of turning relative to the frame about a second rotation axis substantially parallel to the first rotation axis, the winch being capable of being in a decoupled state wherein the first drum and the second drum are rotationally decoupled about the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis so as to allow a traction cable to be wound around the first drum during a first winding step wherein the first drum is rotated about the first axis, the second drum being capable of being in an open state wherein the second drum has a receiving opening that a towed body is capable of passing through in order to enter the interior of the space that surrounds the first drum and that is surrounded by the second drum, the winch being capable of being in a coupled state wherein the first drum and the second drum are rotationally coupled about the second rotation axis so as to allow a flexible elongate body to be wound around the second rotation axis during a second winding step wherein the second drum is rotated about the second axis.
Spooling machine
Spooling machine including two side frames spaced at a horizontal distance by a telescopic spacer beam, each frame having a pintle on supports for bearing a drum for cable pipe or hose, the telescopic spacer beam including at least one outer tube and at least one inner tube, which are slidably and telescopically one inside the other, and a locking device positioned between the outer tube and the inner tube for locking the outer and inner tube in adjustable position. The locking device includes a split part of the inner tube extending over a part of the length of the inner tube and dividing the inner tube into sections, and a force element for creating a swelling force on the split part of the inner tube to press the sections against the inner surface of the outer tube.
Receptacle With Pivoting Closure
A receptacle providing secure protection for its contents and comprising a housing with an opening, and a cover member pivotably attached to the housing to move between a closed position and an opened position. In the closed position, a locking mechanism may lock the housing and cover into engagement. In the open position, convenient access is provided to the interior of the housing and the contents. The cover member may be equipped with a retaining member for wrapping wires or cables in an organized fashion.
