Embodiments of the invention are directed to adjustable closure devices. One embodiment has a strap, a connector attached to a strap end, a chafe mounted on the strap behind the connector, and a hinged handle on the chafe. The chafe has a two outer bars and a central bar, these bars defining strap through-paths. The strap end-region has path segments arranged, directionally from the strap's central region toward the strap end at the chafe, or, in embodiments that configure the strap as a pulley, at the connector. An adjustable length region of the strap spans between the chafe and the connector. An elevatable handle configuration allows a user to pull the chafe to which it is connected along the strap, away from connector. As the chafe moves along the strap, the strap can transition between a large circumference configuration and small circumference. Some embodiments have a strap friction-locking mechanism associated with the handle and the chafe.

A hose and reel system that includes a reel assembly that is rotatably mounted within a housing. The reel assembly includes an accumulator drum having an inner chamber and the drum is coupled at opposite ends to disc elements. The housing can include a hose guide element for guiding a hose that is spooled about the outer surface of the drum and, if desired, a pair of mandible elements.

A portable retractable oxygen tubing reel providing improved portability and mechanical reeling functionality. The portable retractable oxygen tubing reel includes tubing wrapped around an inner circular component stored within an outer storage compartment whereby a handle attached to the inner circular component may be rotated to wind or unwind tubing from the portable retractable oxygen tubing reel. Tubing may then be connected to a medical oxygen storage device at one end and a nasal oxygen cannula positioned near in proximity to a patient's nose for breathing oxygen at the other end.

A drive assembly for a tool with a rotatable crank and a reel may include a carrier operably coupled to the reel, a stress relief plate interposed between the carrier and the crank and configured to operably couple the carrier to the crank, and mating surfaces disposed on the carrier, the stress relief plate, and the crank in a stacked arrangement to distribute stresses and increase maximum torque capacity of the drive assembly.

A number of illustrative variations may include a cord winder device that may include a housing that may include a first segment and a second segment. The product may further include a roller assembly positioned between the first segment and the second segment. The cord winder device may further include a lever assembly positioned between the first segment and the second segment. The cord winder device may further include a handle assembly in mechanical communication with the roller assembly. The cord winder device may be constructed and arranged to feed out or retract in cord, hose, cable, or the like.

A reel based closure device includes a housing, a tension member, a spool that is rotatably positioned within the housing, and a tightening component that is positioned axially above the spool and that is operably coupled therewith so that an operation of the tightening component causes the spool to rotate within the housing to wind the tension member about the spool. The reel based closure device also includes a coupling component that is separate from the tension member and that frictionally engages with a distal end of the tension member so that the coupling component is removably fixed to the tension member. The spool component includes a coupling feature within which the coupling component is positioned to attach the tension member to the spool.

In order to improve assembling convenience and productivity of products, the present invention provides a wire winding adjusting device comprising a reel portion which is accommodated in a housing unit and is selectively hook-engaged with and rotated interlocking with a rotation manipulation means such that a wire is wound on the outer circumference thereof, wherein the rotation manipulation means is rotated about a driving protrusion at the center thereof during a rotation manipulation. The reel portion comprises: a winding body unit which has a cylindrical shape, has an accommodation groove formed in an upper surface side thereof such that an end portion of the driving protrusion is accommodated in the accommodation groove and a lower surface side which is dented to form a coupling groove portion, and includes a wire tying unit adjacent to the bottom surface of the coupling groove unit and having a first tying hole and a second tying hole through which the wire partially passes and which are formed through the wire tying unit to be apart from each other such that the wire is tied; and a pair of flange portions which expand and protrude outward in the radial direction along upper and lower boundaries of the outer circumferential surface of the winding body unit such that a wire winding groove can be formed between inner surfaces thereof facing each other, and which have a through-slot groove that is open because the first tying hole and the second tying hole are apart from each other along the circumferential direction such that an end portion of the wire pulled into the coupling groove unit can be pressed by a part of the wire.
