A bag for transporting tools and building supplies includes a body, a divider, and a battery charger. The body includes a base member and at least one side panel coupled to the base member and extending from the base member. The base member and the at least one side panel cooperate to define an internal volume. The internal volume is accessible through a main opening defined by the at least one side panel. The divider is positioned within the internal volume and coupled to the body. The divider is configured to divide the internal volume into a first volume and a second volume. The battery charger is coupled to the body and configured to be selectively coupled to a removable battery. The battery charger extends into the first volume, and the removable battery extends into the second volume when the removable battery is coupled to the battery charger.

A window covering system comprises a headrail, a bottom rail, a covering material, a control unit, and a first rotating unit, wherein the first rotating unit is configured to be driven to rotate in a first direction when the bottom rail descends to expand the covering material; and a locking device coiled to the first rotating unit, wherein the locking device provides a restriction force to the first rotating unit to restrict the first rotating unit from rotating in the first direction, as well as to restrict the bottom rail from descending; and an actuating device configured to operate with the control unit simultaneously; when the control unit drives the actuating device to push the locking device in order to reduce the restriction force provided by the locking device to the first rotating unit, the bottom rail descends to drive the first rotating unit to rotate in the first direction.

A height adjustable shower head assembly comprising a receptacle adapted for mounting to a ceiling, a reel member provided in the housing, a flexible hose having first end and second ends, the flexible hose is stored on the reel and is adapted to be vertically deployed from the reel and retracted onto the reel, the first end of the flexible hose is connected to a water supply, the second end of the flexible hose is connected to a shower head, whereby the distance of the shower head from the ceiling may be adjusted by selectively deploying or retracting the flexible hose.

A cord reel device is a cord reel device for winding a cord in an extendable and retractable manner, and includes an enclosure, a reel, a pin, a support column, and a ring. The reel is rotatably disposed around a rotation axis AX in the enclosure and includes a hollow reel body around which a reel cord can be wound. The reel body has an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface. The pin extends between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the reel body, with one end thereof on the outer peripheral surface side being connected with the reel cord. The support column is disposed inside the reel body. The ring is at least partially embedded in the support and disposed so as to be in constant contact with another end of the pin on the inner peripheral surface side.

A pull-out type cord winding module, comprising a rotary wheel (6) which a cord (7) is wound on and which is connected with a coil spring (5), and a stopper mechanism working cooperatively with the rotary wheel (6) and including a functional rail, a ball (3) and a rolling assisting device. The functional rail comprises a locking rail, a communicating rail (25) and annular rails (21, 22) which are connected, groove-shaped and arranged around an outer circumference of the rotary wheel (6). A guide groove (91) is provided on the rolling assisting device, and two ends of the guide groove (91) are located at the upper and lower sides of the outer circumference of the rotary wheel (6) respectively. The guide groove (91) cooperates with the functional rail to hold the ball (3). When the rotary wheel (6) rotates, the ball (3) rolls in the functional rail to lock or unlock rotation of the rotary wheel (6).

Provided is a winding device configured so that the entirety of the device can be thinned and looseness of an elongated member can be reduced. In a winding device 1A, a flat motor 2 is used as a motor, and a spool 3 and a magical planetary gear mechanism 4 are formed flat along an extending XY plane of the flat motor 2. Thus, the entirety of the device can be configured flat, and can be thinned. Moreover, the magical planetary gear mechanism 4 prevents rotation of the spool 3 by external force, and therefore, looseness of the elongated member can be reduced.

A vacuum hose reel assembly has a spiral torsion spring. One end portion of the spiral torsion spring is received in a slot defined by a spring holder. As a vacuum hose is unwound from the reel, the spring is wound as the reel turns in a first direction. To wind the vacuum hose back on the reel, the spring unwinds and turns the reel in a second, opposite, direction. In the event that the forces between the end portion of the spring and the spring holder become too high, the end portion of the spring disengages the spring holder such that the end portion of the spring turns about the spring holder, thereby preventing the spring from breaking.

A cord reel device is a cord reel device for winding a cord in an extendable and retractable manner, and includes an enclosure, a reel, a pin, a support column, and a ring. The reel is rotatably disposed around a rotation axis AX in the enclosure and includes a hollow reel body around which a reel cord can be wound. The reel body has an outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface. The pin extends between the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the reel body, with one end thereof on the outer peripheral surface side being connected with the reel cord. The support column is disposed inside the reel body. The ring is at least partially embedded in the support and disposed so as to be in constant contact with another end of the pin on the inner peripheral surface side.

This invention modifies and redesigns a spring-loaded, retractable supply hose mechanisms used to pan out, retract, and store hoses used for gases (e.g., oxygen), treatments, or fluids, specifically this inventor's prior art, the Retractable Oxygen Supply Hose Mechanism, U.S. Pat. No. 6,065,490. This invention incorporates an Adaptor Cap or Removable Cap to prevent slippage of the Swivel connector, incorporates a Removable Cap into the upper disc or flange of the supply-hose reel and/or into the mechanism housing cover that acts as an anti-rotational device, and features bearing surfaces to prevent reel slippage. This internal ratchet system better prevents binding and kinking of the patient's supply, thereby facilitating the storage and the quick-controlled release of the desired amount of oxygen supply hose for patient's Medical Oxygen and other gases delivery, therapy, or treatments.
