Skipping rope with two handles connected by a rope. A handle is provided with winding devices for winding and unwinding the rope. The rope is movable in the handle between a position for adjusting the length of the skipping rope and a position for using the skipping rope. The handle is equipped with blocking devices for blocking and unblocking the rope.

The present invention relates to methods for producing particles of meloxicam using dry milling processes as well as compositions comprising meloxicam, medicaments produced using meloxicam in particulate form and/or compositions, and to methods of treatment of an animal, including man, using a therapeutically effective amount of meloxicam administered by way of said medicaments.

A winding mechanism includes a housing, an inner cylinder and a wire. The housing is formed with an accommodating space therein. An inner surface of the housing is formed with an internal thread structure. The inner cylinder is disposed in the accommodating space and defines a central axis. An outer surface of the inner cylinder is formed with an external thread structure. The external thread structure is cooperated with the internal thread structure. The inner cylinder is capable of displacing along the central axis by rotating relative to the housing. The external thread structure includes at least two contact portions and at least two non-contact portions, and gaps are formed between the non-contact portions of the external thread structure and the internal thread structure. An end of the wire is connected to the inner cylinder and is wound along the external thread structure of the inner cylinder.

Apparatus to store a drogue hose on an aircraft are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a drum to rotate in a first direction to coil a hose and a second direction to uncoil the hose, a carriage at least partially surrounding the drum, the carriage including rollers to guide the hose as the hose is coiled and uncoiled, the carriage having an outer surface covering the rollers and wheels coupled to the carriage, the wheels to facilitate movement of the carriage along a length of the drum as the drum rotates.

The invention relates to a winch comprising a winding device, which is simply constructed and works very reliably, regardless of the position and orientation of the winch.

The invention relates to a winding device (10) for a line (1), such as a cable or hose, including a stationary frame (11) and a winding drum (12), which is rotatably mounted on said frame and has an interior (12B). From the outside (12A) of the winding drum (12), the line can be wound or unwound. An inner rotary guide (18) in the interior (12B) guides the line (1) continuously from a fixed point (F) fixed with respect to the frame to a rotation point (R) on the winding drum (12) and defines a line course, having two opposite windings (18A, 18B) about the axis of rotation (A), and a rotatable deflection element (18C), in which the line changes over. According to the invention, the winding drum (12) has a first cut-out (15A) at a first end, on the side of the rotation point (R), which cut-out opens out axially and at an end face, and a retaining part (19B) at the other end, which retaining part is rotationally fixed to the frame, has a second cut-out (15B), which opens outward in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation (A). By virtue of the cut-outs (15A, 15B) in combination with the special rotary guide (18), the line (1) to be wound can be continuously routed without interruption and without rotational coupling or be subsequently attached, from the outside (12A) through the first cut-out (15A), in the inner rotary guide (18) and from the fixed point (F) of the rotary guide through the second cut-out (15B) or vice versa.

A refueling system, comprising a drum rotatable to wind and unwind a hose, a carriage guiding the hose and lineally displaceable along a shaft parallel to the longitudinal direction of the drum so as to follow the movement of the hose along the drum. The shaft allows the displacement of the carriage along its length. A motor is coupled to the carriage and displaces the carriage along the shaft. A first position sensor communicates with the carriage to obtain its position. A second position sensor communicates with the drum to obtain the position of the hose. A control system is coupled to the first and the second sensor, to compare their obtained positions and to operate the motor.
