A system includes a drum assembly that includes a support bar having a first end and a second end, and a plurality of drum segments coupled to the support bar. The drum segments are movable between retracted and extended positions, and the drum assembly is configured to be disposed within an interior region of a coil of flexible pipe when the plurality of drum segments are in the retracted position. The system also includes a first containment flange coupled to the drum assembly at the first end, a second containment flange coupled to the drum assembly at the second end, a first coupling device configured to removably couple the first containment flange to the drum assembly, and a second coupling device configured to removably couple the second containment flange to the drum assembly. The first and second containment flanges are configured to contain the flexible pipe.

A tape roll dispenser has a backplate, a spindle, a cutting surface, a tab, and a writing device holder. The spindle is an arcuate channel with a bottom trough that extends outwardly from the upper section of the backplate and a sidewall that is parallel to the backplate's plane. The cutting surface extends outwardly from the bottom section of the backplate, and the tab extends upwardly from a center section of the cutting surface between serrated edges at opposite sides. The writing device holder has a pair of posts connected to and extending outwardly from the external surface of the sidewall with a rod connected between the posts and alternative writing device holders can be attached to different locations on the spindle or to the backplate, the cutting surface, or the tab. The serrated edges have a longer tooth positioned between two sets of teeth.

A hosed-reeling apparatus comprising a hose reel and a rack having a front opening for demountably receiving and supporting the hose reel. The hose reel has two sidewalls, a connection member concentrically coupling the two sidewalls, and two spindles extending laterally outward from the centers of the two sidewalls, respectively. The rack has at least a base framework, and a locking structure configurable between an unlock position and a lock position. The base framework has two upward facing channels on opposite sides thereof for demountably receiving the hose reel spindles. The channels are accessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the unlock position, and the channels are inaccessible from thereabove when the locking structure is at the lock position. Each of the sidewalls of the hose reel may have at least one straight outer edge, allowing the hose reel sit stably on a horizontal surface or a ramp.

A support is described for coils of cable, welding wire or the like, comprising: a central huh (20) constituted by two first rings (22) respectively fixed to the ends of, mutually parallel, rods (24) of substantially equal length ; two annular flanges (30) integral respectively with two opposite ends of the hub to define an annular space around the hub inside which to house the coil, the flanges being constituted by two second rings (32) with larger diameter than the first rings, each second ring being connected concentrically and rigidly to a first ring by radial rods (34).

To avoid accidental injury to the user, the outer edge of at least one end (66) of each rod comprises a blunting (80).
