SITE LIGHT
A site light includes a body, an arm coupled to the body having an adjustable arm length, a light assembly coupled to the arm opposite the body, and a drive mechanism with a crank arm rotatable about a first axis. Rotating the crank arm in a first direction causes the arm length to increase. Rotating the crank arm in a second direction causes the arm length to decrease. The drive mechanism is adjustable between a first configuration, where the crank arm can only rotate in the first direction, and a second configuration, where the crank arm can be rotated in the first direction and the second direction.
Tape measure atmosphere lamp
Some embodiments of the present disclosure a tape measure atmosphere lamp. wherein a housing assembly, and a rocker assembly, a base, a roller, a light strip and a circuit module that are all mounted in the housing assembly, where the rocker assembly is hinged to the base, the base is fixedly connected with the roller, the roller is rotationally connected with the housing assembly, the light strip is wound in a circumferential direction of the roller, and the light strip is electrically connected with the circuit module. The rocker assembly is turned over relative to the base, such that the rocker assembly can protrude out of or get hidden in the housing assembly. The base and the roller can be driven to rotate by rotating the rocker assembly, such that the light strip is extended or retracted relative to the housing assembly.
Fastening device
A fastening device includes a case unit, a spool, a connecting unit, a knob and an engaging unit. The case unit includes a wall forming a receiving space, a partition separates the receiving space into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, a through hole located at the partition, and a base detachably connected to at least one part of the wall. The spool is located at the lower chamber. The knob is connected to the connecting unit. The engaging unit is located at the upper chamber. After the connecting unit is inserted into the spool, the through hole and the engaging unit to couple to the knob, the partition, the spool, the connecting unit, the knob and the engaging unit are connected integrally without being separated from each other while the base is separated from the at least one part of the wall.
ONE-PIECE HOSE GUIDE FOR HOSE REEL DECK BOX
A hose guide for a hose reel deck box is provided. More specifically, the hose guide is a one piece, or unitary body, component. The unitary body hose guide is structured to snap-fit to one or two travel bars that are part of the unitary body of the hose reel deck box housing assembly. The hose guide preferably includes two semi-enclosed passages that are structured to be slidably coupled to the travel bars.
Hose Winding Device
A hose winding device includes a rotating wheel rotatably mounted to a frame. A hose is wound around the rotating wheel. The rotating wheel is rotated when the hose is pulled outward. An axle of the frame is received in a rotating shaft and a connecting shaft. An arm is fixed between the connecting shaft and a handle. A connecting rod is configured to securely couple the rotating shaft and the connecting shaft with the axle. An elastic element biases the connecting shaft to engage with the rotating shaft, permitting joint rotation of the connecting shaft and the rotating shaft in a first direction. The connecting shaft moves along a longitudinal axis of the rotating shaft when the connecting shaft and the rotating shaft are subjected to a torque in a second direction reverse to the first direction, and the connecting shaft disengages from the rotating shaft.
Ratcheting strap with take-up reel
A ratcheting strap device has an elongate body with a reel axis towards a first end and a ratcheting mechanism towards a second end opposite there-from. The ratcheting mechanism is affixed to the body, and has a spool axis and a ratchet spool rotatable relative to the body there-about. A first strap/hook member has a first length of strap affixed to a first one of the ratcheting mechanism and the body at a first proximal end, and has a first hook affixed to a first distal end there-of. A take-up reel is affixed to the body and rotational relative thereto about the reel axis. A second strap hook member has a second length of strap having a second proximal end connectable to the take-up reel, has a take-up strap portion adjacent to the second proximal end and windable around the take up reel, and has a second hook affixed to a second distal end there-of. The second length of strap has a midsection between its second proximal and distal ends, passing through and engageable by the ratchet spool such that rotation of the spool causes the midsection to be wound there-around.
FASTENING DEVICE
A fastening device includes a case unit, a spool, a connecting unit, a knob and an engaging unit. The case unit includes a wall forming a receiving space, a partition separates the receiving space into an upper chamber and a lower chamber, a through hole located at the partition, and a base detachably connected to at least one part of the wall. The spool is located at the lower chamber. The knob is connected to the connecting unit. The engaging unit is located at the upper chamber. After the connecting unit is inserted into the spool, the through hole and the engaging unit to couple to the knob, the partition, the spool, the connecting unit, the knob and the engaging unit are connected integrally without being separated from each other while the base is separated from the at least one part of the wall.
PORTABLE GENERATOR RETRACTABLE POWER CORD
A portable power distribution system is provided that may include a portable generator and one or more retractable power cords in order to simplify the process of storing power cords associated with the system while the portable generator is moved from one location to another. Some or all of the retractable power cords may be removably attached to the portable generator, or some or all of the retractable power cords may be permanently attached to the portable generator. The system may include additional features to optimize performance, including color-coded power cords, a storage compartment, various lighting components, displays to enhance user experience, load shedding features, a power switch associated with each cord, and a cooling system such as an airflow management system. A method of using the system is also provided.
Universal winder
A winder may include a body, a spindle, and a manually actuated winding mechanism. The spindle may be coupled to the body and constructed and arranged to be rotatable with respect to the body and to be removably coupled to at least one spool. The manually actuated winding mechanism may be coupled to the spindle and constructed and arranged to rotate the spindle and the at least one spool.
Wire Reels, Components Thereof, and Related Methods
Embodiments provide reels comprising covers, wire hubs, and winding levers. The covers removably attach to casings and close spool apertures of the casings. The hubs spool wire into/out of the apertures via windows of the casings. Moreover, the hubs couple to the covers. Some levers operably couple to the covers. When stowed, the levers are within the perimeters of the covers. When deployed, the levers extend beyond the perimeters. The reels can also comprise the casings. Mounting bases of some reels can removably attach to the casings. Furthermore, some levers can pivot about hinges on the covers. Levers can comprise wind knobs at their ends and the covers can define apertures through which the knobs extend when stowed. Detents which retain the levers in the stowed position can be provided. Moreover, hubs can comprise the detents for engaging the levers when the levers are stowed.
