A device for receiving a suction hose that connects a nozzle of a vacuuming device to a central unit of the vacuuming device. The device is has at least one holding device that can be arranged on the central unit of the vacuuming device, wherein the suction hose is able to be fitted in the at least one holding device such that the hose can be accommodated in a secure and stable manner. This advantageously makes it possible for the user of the vacuuming device to be able to adapt the length of the suction hose as required to the task currently to be performed. Here, the unused part of the suction hose is stored in a particularly secure and stable manner in the device or in cavities of the device that can be formed between the at least one holding device and a rear part. In a second aspect, the invention relates to a vacuuming device having a central unit that is connected to a suction hose having a nozzle.

The present invention is directed to a hose holder that nests individual hose loops separately in grooves formed on (or forming) a sloped surface. The holder includes a series of arched grooves, each groove provided at a different position along the slope of the surface such that adjacent grooves are at different vertical heights when the holder is mounted for use. Grooves further from the mounting point are lower than those nearer. In general, each groove is wide enough to hold and guide a single loop of hose and is configured for easy deployment of the hose when the hose is pulled away from the hose holder.

A cable feeding unit (108) of a cable management system (100) comprising one or more feeding sections (200A, 200B, 200C, 200D, 302), having a body (202), a first side structure (208) and a second side structure (210), an inlet opening (212, 314) and an outlet opening (214) of a cable (124, 230, 410); one or more pairs of sheave rollers (216, 218, 220) attached between the first side structure and the second side structure; a cable feeding passage (222) formed at least between a rim part of the first sheave roller and a rim part of the second sheave roller of the one or more pairs of sheave rollers; one or more drives (160, 226A, 226B) connected to at least one of the sheave rollers; and one or more transmission mechanisms (224A, 224B) connecting the one or more drives with at least the first or second sheave roller.

The present invention provides an auto-balancing hose system and a method for fluid transfer between an onshore facility and a floating vessel. The system comprises a transfer pipeline extended from the onshore facility to a loading platform, a hose with a first end fluidly connected to the transfer pipeline and a second end fluidly connected with a ship manifold on the floating vessel, a hose saddle or rigid coupler that elevates the hose in the middle and divides the hose into a riser at the first end and a U-tube next to the second end, and a counterweight or a winch with a predetermined pulling force that is adapted to maintain a top tension to the riser. The hose is kept away from water and in tension, and adapted to accommodate vessel motions as well as relative displacements between the transfer pipeline and loading platform.

A rack for receiving, storing and dispensing a coiled material, such as but not limited to garden hose, fire hose, gas hose (e.g., oxygen), a chemical hose (e.g. a solvent), electrical cord, cable, chain, or rope, comprising a back plate; a front plate having a back surface and a front surface; and one or more spacing members disposed between the back plate and the front plate such that the back surface of the front plate is faced towards the back plate, thereby creating a space between the front plate and the back plate for receiving the coiled material; wherein the front surface of the front plate is essentially planar and free of non-planar features, thereby providing a uniform flat surface configured for receiving indicia, such as but not limited to affinity indicia, instructions, warnings, specifications and content indications.

A cord holder and organizer is a device for managing electrical cords when not in use. A plurality of cord holders is removably engaged into a plurality of mounting slots that is evenly distributed along an elongated member. The elongated member is rotatably engaged into a storage container that may be utilized to store accessories and items. An electrical cord may be wrapped around at least one cord wrapping member located on the elongated member and then transferred to one of the plurality of cord holders. A plurality of additional mounting slots is located on the elongated member and allows the positioning of the plurality of cord holders on the elongated member to be adjusted as needed. A plurality of wheels positioned on the storage container enables the device itself to be repositioned.

A bag on which a coiler may attach. A coiling device that allows for attachments to be affixed to it, whether or not the coiler is attached to a bag. Attachments comprising a brush clip comprising a quickdraw setter/remover, brush, and other useful items.

A faucet system includes a housing assembly configured to be coupled to a ceiling structure, wherein the housing includes a mixing valve disposed therein. The faucet system further includes a hose assembly coupled to the housing assembly. The hose assembly includes a flexible hose being fluidly coupled to the mixing valve and configured to hang below the housing assembly, a rotatable arm coupled to the housing assembly, and a control knob communicably coupled to the mixing valve. The rotatable arm is configured to facilitate rotation and adjustment of the hose and the control knob configured to control at least one of a temperature or a flow of water within the faucet system.

An improved apparatus, kit, system, and method for a portable garden hose stand is disclosed and described. In one embodiment, a portable garden hose includes a post and a butler. The post may support a garden hose in a raised position above a ground surface. The butler may be separable from the post for winding the garden hose in a hanging position upon the butler. The butler may include an attachment extending from the butler, the attachment including more than one opening, each of the more than one openings including an upper narrower slot and a lower wider slot. A primary support projection and a secondary support projection may extend from a first side of the post, and the primary support projection and the secondary support projection may mate with the more than one openings to support the butler on the post.

The present invention is directed to a hose holder that nests individual hose loops separately in grooves formed on (or forming) a sloped surface. The holder includes a series of arched grooves, each groove provided at a different position along the slope of the surface such that adjacent grooves are at different vertical heights when the holder is mounted for use. Grooves further from the mounting point are lower than those nearer. In general, each groove is wide enough to hold and guide a single loop of hose and is configured for easy deployment of the hose when the hose is pulled away from the hose holder.
