A device for receiving an extruded elastomer strand, during the transport thereof to a processing location, including a reel that receives the elastomer strand as a winding, wherein the moving reel is provided for temporary inclusion into a production facility that continuously processes the elastomer strand, by rotation of the reel, to form seals for doors or boots of vehicle bodies. The average thickness of the reel resulting from the total mass and the total volume of the material of the reel is <2.5 g/cm.sup.3.

The invention relates to a movement-tolerant wiring arrangement (10), more particularly for a stand device (1) configured for arrangement in an operating room, comprising a mounting apparatus (20) for movement-tolerant mounting of at least one line (70), more particularly a cable, about an axis of rotation (D) between two connection components (3; 4; 104) that are displaceable, more particularly twistable, relative to one another; and a fastening apparatus (30; 130) for arranging the at least one line relative to one of the connection components (3; 4; 104), more particularly at a socket of the stand device; wherein the mounting apparatus (20) is fixable to the fastening apparatus (30; 130) and configured for movement-tolerant, in particular, rotation-tolerant guidance of the at least one line about the axis of rotation and/or in the direction at least approximately parallel to the axis of rotation. Furthermore, the invention relates to a rotary joint, a socket or a stand device, respectively, with such a wiring arrangement, and the use of such a wiring arrangement (10) at a stand device (1), more particularly in the operating room.

A flexible conduit dispenser case is disclosed. An outer body defines an inner chamber where flexible conduit can be coiled. The flexible conduit is coiled around a rotating hub, which makes the flexible conduit easier to dispense. The flexible conduit dispenser case can be locked to help to retain the flexible conduit. The flexible conduit emerges from an exit port on the handle of the flexible conduit dispenser case for ease of access and control. Also disclosed is a planar base which holds the flexible conduit dispenser case in position for increased ease of dispensing the flexible conduit and engagement members on the rotating hub increase the retention of the flexible conduit.

The present invention provides a clip line fixture suitable for use with a clip line wound around a clip reel, the clip line fixture being configured to prevent the clip line from unwinding from the clip reel. The clip line fixture comprises at least one attachment portion shaped to removably attach the clip line fixture to at least one corresponding mating portion of a clip reel at a position along an outer rim portion of the clip reel. The clip line fixture further comprises a hold-down portion shaped to engage at least one corresponding portion of a clip line wound around the clip reel so as to prevent a free end portion of the clip line at least from radially separating from the clip reel. The present invention further provides a clip reel and a clip reel assembly.

A movement-tolerant wiring arrangement for, among other things, a stand device configured for arrangement in an operating room incorporates a mounting apparatus for movement-tolerant mounting of at least one line, for example a cable, about an axis of rotation between two connection components that are displaceable, such as being twistable, relative to one another; and a fastening apparatus for arranging the at least one line relative to one of the connection components, for example at a socket of the stand device; wherein the mounting apparatus is fixable to the fastening apparatus and configured for movement-tolerant, such as, rotation-tolerant guidance of the at least one line about the axis of rotation and/or in the direction at least approximately parallel to the axis of rotation. Furthermore, a rotary joint, a socket or a stand device, respectively, can incorporate such a wiring arrangement, and can use of such a wiring arrangement at a stand device, for example, in the operating room.

The invention relates to a winding device (8) for an electric cable (4, 4a, 4b) including a cylindrical hub (62), perforated (622) at its surface and open (624) at at least one of its ends, the cable having at least one conductor (41, 42, 43, 44) and a sheath (45, 45a, 45b) with an outer surface having an irregular cross-section.

The present invention relates to a reel for storing and dispensing a winding material wound on the reel. The reel comprises a hub and side walls each disposed at the axial end faces of the hub and protruding past the outer circumferential surface of the hub in an approximately radial direction, the storage space defined by the surfaces of the side walls facing toward each other and the outer circumferential surface of the hub and surrounding the hub serving for receiving the winding material. The hub is at least double-walled in design, having a first hub wall and having a second hub wall spaced radially apart from the first hub wall. Moreover, the reel is formed of two reel halves identical in design.

A device for receiving an elastomer strand, in particular a sealing strand, that is to be conveyed to a processing location, and for feeding the elastomer strand at the processing location to a device for separating pieces from the elastomer strand and processing them, has a roll that receives the elastomer strand in the form of a coil, a conveying container that receives the roll with the coil and systems for rotating the roll within the conveying container in order to unwind the elastomer strand from the roll and feed it to the processing system. The conveying space required for the device after the elastomer strand has been unwound from the roll can be reduced.

A traffic control light strip supports a plurality of light emitting diode illumination devices within a plurality of LED units upon an elongated supporting strip. A power and control unit responsive to operator inputs is operatively coupled to the LED units to provide selective illumination patterns of the light emitting diodes. The traffic control light strip is supported by a flexible elongated base member which allows the entire traffic control light strip to be rolled upon a storage reel from a deployed configuration to a convenient storage configuration. In an alternate embodiment, the traffic control light strip includes a pair of extendable hinge coupled support members that facilitate folding the traffic control light strip to a closed transport and storage configuration.
