Cable Processing System
A cable processing system includes a cable supply unit supplying a cable. A cable coiling unit of the system coils the supplied cable into a cable coil. The coiled cable is bundled by a cable coil binding unit. A cable coil loading unit loads the bundled cable coil, and a cable coil conveying unit conveys the bundled cable coil to the cable coil loading unit.

AUTOMATED MULTI-PURPOSE QUILLING DEVICE
An automated multi-purpose quilling device includes a housing and a driver element. The housing accommodates an electrical unit. The housing defines a through-hole and is configured to receive at least one tool attachment to perform one or more functions of quilling. The driver element is attached to the electrical unit of the housing. A first end of the driver element is placed onto the electrical unit within the housing and a second end of the driver element protrudes externally from the through-hole. The second end of the driver element is configured to receive the at least one tool attachment. The driver element is further configured to rotate when actuated by the electrical unit and in turn operate the at least one tool attachment.
COILER FOR A DUNNAGE CONVERSION MACHINE AND METHOD FOR COILING A STRIP OF DUNNAGE
A coiler for producing tighter or smaller coils of dunnage uses a cam to move fork pins from a dunnage-receiving position inwardly to a more closely-spaced coiling position. The fork pins are coupled to pin mounts that cooperate with the cam and slots in a guide plate to move the parallel fork pins between the dunnage-receiving and coiling positions. The fork pins are mounted to extend perpendicular to and through the guide plate on opposing sides of a path of the dunnage to capture and wind a dunnage strip into a coil.
SPOOL ASSEMBLY
A spool assembly configured to support a roll of material. The spool assembly comprises a first and second flange coupled together via a first and second arbor member. The first arbor member is slidably coupled within a first at least one slot of the first flange and slidably coupled within a second at least one slot of the second flange. A biasing member is coupled to the first arbor member such that the first arbor member is biased radially inward toward a longitudinal axis of the spool assembly. Rotation of the first flange relative to the second flange causes the first arbor member to translate within the first at least one slot and the second at least one slot causing a change in the arbor diameter.
Device and process for the manufacture of hollow fiber membrane bundles
The present disclosure relates to devices and processes for the production of hollow fiber membrane bundles. The bundles are used for the manufacture of filtration and/or diffusion devices, e.g., capillary dialyzers.

Cable Coiling Device and Cable Processing System
A cable coiling device comprises a cable coiling mechanism adapted to coil a cable to form a cable roll, and a cable clamping mechanism. The cable clamping mechanism clamps and fixes an end segment of the cable during coiling the cable. The end segment has a predetermined length and is adapted to be processed while the cable is coiled.
Fire Hose Reeling System
A fire hose reeling system includes a support frame that is positionable on a ground surface. The support frame has a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A reel apparatus is mounted on the support frame. The reel apparatus releasably engages a fire hose and forms the hose into a roll when the reel apparatus is actuated. A stabilizing panel has a perimeter edge pivotally coupled to the support frame such that the stabilizing panel is positionable in an upright position defining a stored position or in deployed position extending away from the first lateral edge. When in the deployed position, the stabilizing panel abuts the ground surface and is stepped upon while the reel apparatus is used to stabilize the assembly.
Removable Strap Collector
A device is installable on a strap for collecting a free end or excess portion of the strap. The device includes: a base removably securable on a portion of the strap, the base including a bracket located on a first side of the base and securable on the strap and a mount located on a second side of the base; a first leg having a first end and a second end that is distal from the first end, the first leg pivotally attached to the mount at the first end of the first leg; and a reel pivotally attached to the distal end of the first leg. The free end or excess portion of the strap is retained around the reel.
