A curtain winding device includes a beam, a power mechanism mounted to the beam, a transmission rod driven by the power mechanism to rotate, and two reels fitted about the transmission rod and relatively fixed with the transmission rod in a circumferential direction. Each reel is wound with a drawstring. A drawstring holder is disposed on the beam to guide the drawstring to be wound on the reel. The beam is fixed with a nut. Each reel includes a screw segment screwed to the nut, and a cone segment gradually increasing in an outer diameter along an extending direction. An end of the reel away from the screw segment is provided with a fixing portion for fixing a distal end of the drawstring, and a positioning portion protruding from an outer side surface of the reel to abut against the drawstring holder to position an initial position of the reel.

A tool-operated adjustment device includes a housing supporting a rotatable spool that is operably coupled to a tension line. The spool is configured to rotate about a first axis in a first direction to wind the tension line, and to rotate in a second direction opposite the first direction to unwind the tension line. The device includes a socket pivotally coupled to the housing and configured to rotate about a second axis. The socket is selectively coupled to the spool to drive rotation of the spool in the first direction. The socket is configured to removably connect and disconnect to a tool configured to rotate the socket about the second axis. The device includes a release mechanism that is configured to selectively release the spool such that the spool is free to rotate in either the first or second direction in response to manual forces applied to the release mechanism.

A fish tape for use with a fish tape tool. The fish tape includes an inner core formed of a first material, and an outer sheath surrounding the inner core formed of a second material that has a lower coefficient of friction than the first material.

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.

There is proposed a cable reel, comprising mirrored first and second side portions forming an outwardly open cable receiving annular chamber therebetween for holding a cable. The cable reel includes a tapered neck wherein the cable is configured to pass though the tapered neck during winding up and dispensing of the cable, whereby jamming of the cable within the annular chamber is inhibited. The cable reel further includes a passageway for receiving a first plug attached to a first end of the cable therethrough, at least two apertures for utilisation by a user to facilitate rotation of the cable, and a plurality of plug holding members for retaining a second plug attached at a second end of the cable.

A strap winding a storage device that is configured to store both a strap and a securing device, such as a ratchet, in a convenient and transportable manner.

A manual reel retractable leash apparatus for manually retracting a leash to control a dog includes a retractable leash spool coupled within a leash body. A leash is windingly coupled around the leash spool and extends through a leash aperture of the leash body. A crank housing is coupled to the leash body and a drive mechanism is coupled within crank housing. The drive mechanism is in operational communication with the leash spool and an outer face of the crank housing. A crank handle is coupled to the outer face to provide a place for a user to rotate the crank housing to power the drive mechanism and retract the leash.

Disclosed is a bidirectional spool apparatus (BSA) and method of use. The BSA comprises a spool apparatus having a plurality of spools, a plurality of cables, and an adjustment knob. When the BSA is in a first mode, rotation of the adjustment knob causes a corresponding rotation of a first spool in a tightening direction and a tightening of a first cable but allows a second cable to rotate substantially freely, and such that when the BSA is in a second mode, rotation of the adjustment knob causes a corresponding rotation of a second spool in a tightening direction and a tightening of a second cable but allows a first cable to rotate substantially freely. Switching of the BSA from a first mode to a second mode and vice versa is accomplished by pulling the adjustment knob out a distance and by pushing the adjustment knob in a distance.

A strap winding a storage device that is configured to store both a strap and a securing device, such as a ratchet, in a convenient and transportable manner.

A hose coiling device is provided. The hose coiling device includes an elongated shaft having an upper end and a lower end. An offset handle extends from the elongated shaft. A grip is affixed to the upper end, and a connector is disposed on the lower end. The connector removably secures one of a plurality of interchangeable tool heads thereto, wherein the plurality of interchangeable tool heads includes at least a flat hose coiling tool head and a garden hose coiling tool head. The flat hose coiling tool head includes a base removably securable to the connector, wherein the base includes a first prong and a second prong extending therefrom. The first prong is disposed parallel to the second prong. The garden hose coiling tool head includes a U-shaped member removably securable to the connector having at lest one platform extending perpendicularly inwardly from an arm of the U-shaped member.
