The present disclosure further provides structures that are configured and dimensioned to receive the disclosed housing, e.g., in office, commercial and/or residential environments, thereby facilitating access to the adapters that are mounted/secured with respect to the wire. In use, the disclosed adapter system permits a user to readily access and individually utilize each of the adapters mounted/secured with respect to the wire on an as-needed basis and to store at least the portion of the wire that does not include mounted/secured adapters within a housing. Retraction of the wire into the housing is facilitated by the disclosed retraction mechanism.

Provided is a winding device configured so that the entirety of the device can be thinned and looseness of an elongated member can be reduced. In a winding device 1A, a flat motor 2 is used as a motor, and a spool 3 and a magical planetary gear mechanism 4 are formed flat along an extending XY plane of the flat motor 2. Thus, the entirety of the device can be configured flat, and can be thinned. Moreover, the magical planetary gear mechanism 4 prevents rotation of the spool 3 by external force, and therefore, looseness of the elongated member can be reduced.

When the winding wheel is rotated, the conducting strip rotate synchronously with the winding wheel; and furthermore, when the conducting strip slides on an outer surface of the conducting ring, the conducting strip and the conducting ring are kept in electric contact. The electric vehicle charger further includes a pull-stop structure; the pull-stop structure includes a limiting gear and a latch; the latch selectively limits the limiting gear; and the limiting gear is an incomplete gear.

The present invention relates to an automatic winding device for a golf towel, which can hold a towel out of a case when a user pulls the towel and automatically wind the towel so that the towel is put into the case when the user pulls and releases the towel after using it, thereby providing user convenience.

Retraction of the wire into the housing is facilitated by the disclosed retraction mechanism.

A wire-winding device comprising: an upper cover having a bottom surface and a slot deviating from a center of the bottom surface; a rotary base having an annular track on a top surface thereof, the annual track and the slot of the upper cover constituting an orbit; a spiral spring received in the rotary base; a transmission line winding around the rotary base; a lower cover assembled with the upper cover; and an elastic positioning element having a base and a positioning part extruding from the lower surface of the base, the base having an elastic part and a respective fixed part at each of two ends thereof, the elastic positioning element being moveable along the orbit in response to a rotational movement of the rotary base to avoid the transmission line to be tied a knot.

A charging system for a handheld electronic device includes a housing configured to removably attach to the handheld electronic device. The housing includes at least one power source, at least one electronic logic board, and an accessory station configured to store and charge at least one accessory item of the handheld electronic device. The transmitter is mounted on the electronic logic board. The transmitter is configured to transmit power between at least two of the following: the accessory item, the accessory station, the power source, the housing, and the handheld electronic device. A software installed on the electronic logic board is configured to control a power transfer between the accessory item, the accessory station, the power source, the housing, and the handheld electronic device. The housing includes a magnetic material configured to removably attach to a corresponding magnetic material of the handheld electronic device.

A retractable tool lanyard comprises a housing, a drum rotatably connected to the housing, a biasing member interconnecting the housing and the drum, a cord operatively connected to the drum and adapted to be wound about and paid out from the drum, and an engaging mechanism. The engaging mechanism comprises a locking plate connected to the drum, at least one lock pawl connected to the locking plate, and a ratchet plate. When the drum rotates at a predetermined speed, the at least one lock pawl pivots from an unlocked position to a locked position to engage the ratchet plate thereby rotating the ratchet plate with the drum. At least one of a braking mechanism and a clicker pawl are used to create friction to assist in reducing a rate of rotation of the drum.

A window covering system comprises a headrail, a bottom rail, a covering material, a control unit, and a first rotating unit, wherein the first rotating unit is configured to be driven to rotate in a first direction when the bottom rail descends to expand the covering material; and a locking device coiled to the first rotating unit, wherein the locking device provides a restriction force to the first rotating unit to restrict the first rotating unit from rotating in the first direction, as well as to restrict the bottom rail from descending; and an actuating device configured to operate with the control unit simultaneously; when the control unit drives the actuating device to push the locking device in order to reduce the restriction force provided by the locking device to the first rotating unit, the bottom rail descends to drive the first rotating unit to rotate in the first direction.

A reel assembly (10) having a spool (20) comprising a drum core (22) and side disc flanges (24) attached to the drum core (22) for retaining a wound hose (26) on the spool (20), and a release mechanism (120) operatively engaging the spool (20) via a drive shaft (110). The release mechanism (120) has a pair of rotatable hubs (132, 134) arranged in axial alignment and having a clamping spring (136) fitted around the rotatable hubs (132, 134) and arranged to clamp the hubs (132, 134) together in fixed rotational relation, wherein the clamping spring (136) opens to releases the rotatable hubs (132, 134) when the spool (20) is rotated in a payout direction so that the rotatable hubs (132, 134) disengage and the spool (20) can freewheel.
