An adapter system is provided that facilitates convenient access to a plurality of adapters, e.g., DVI-D to HDMI adapter(s), Micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter(s), Mini-HDMI to HDMI adapter(s), Mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter(s), DisplayPort to HDMI adapter(s), VGA to HDMI adapter(s), MNL to HDMI adapter(s), and/or USB to HDMI adapter(s). The adapter system includes an elongated wire that features a plurality of adapters mounted/secured with respect thereto. The wire is at least partially stored within a housing and extends therefrom. The adapters are mounted/secured with respect to a portion of the wire that extends from the housing. The housing includes a retraction mechanism that facilitates retraction of the wire into the housing for convenient storage thereof. 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.

A stackable storage system is disclosed. The system includes a base storage container disposed on a wheeled cart, and one or more additional storage containers removably secured on top of the base container. The system further includes a power outlet box which is interchangeably securable in the system with the other storage containers. The power outlet box includes an extendable AC power cord which may be plugged into a wall outlet, and one or more electrical output plugs, include AC outlets and USB outlets which are powered by the AC power cord. The power outlet box and other containers are securable to each other by a spring loaded latch system. The power outlet box is also usable separate with a storage container having an overhead carry handle allowing both the container and power box to be transportable together.

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.

Provided herein is a lanyard attachment for storing a lanyard. The lanyard attachment has a housing, means for releasably storing a lanyard in the housing, for example a rotatable spool, a guide at the proximal end of the housing to guide the lanyard into the housing and a holder at the distal end from which an object is suspended. Also provided is a retractable lanyard in which a cord or lanyard is stored in a coiled configuration within the housing and a system for releasably storing a lanyard in the lanyard attachment.

Apparatus and methods are disclosed related to spooling and unspooling linear material. Such apparatus and methods can assist the user in deploying and/or retracting linear material.

A touchless cleaning assembly for cleaning a room in a touch-less manner includes a cabinet is recessed into a wall of a room. A plurality of hose reels is positioned in the cabinet and each of the hose reels includes a hose that is drawable outwardly from the cabinet for spraying a fluid for cleaning surfaces in the room, for blowing air to dry the surfaces and to vacuum the surfaces. An air compressor is positioned within the cabinet to direct compressed air into a respective hose reel to dry the surfaces. A vacuum is positioned within the cabinet to supply vacuum pressure to the a respective hose reel for suctionally removing the fluid from a floor of the room.

A cable spool module for a terminal module includes a skirt, a cable spool and a retention member. The cable spool may include a lower flange, an upper flange and a barrel disposed between the lower and upper flanges. The retention member may be configured to couple a terminal module to the cable spool. The skirt may be configured to be removed from the lower flange to permit access to the cable spool and the slack fiber optic cable wound on the cable spool.

The utility model patent discloses an electric vehicle charger with a retractable wire. The electric vehicle charger includes a storage box, a winding wheel and a wire; one end of the wire is connected with the charger; the winding wheel is mounted in the storage box; a coil spring and a sliding ring are provided in the winding wheel; and the sliding ring has a conducting ring and a conducting strip. 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.

A cord management apparatus includes a housing, a reel rotatably disposed within the housing, and a button operably coupled to the reel and configured to control extension and retraction of a window blind cord attached to the reel, according to various embodiments. The housing may include a back portion and a front portion. The front portion may be at least one of detachably and pivotally coupled to the back portion such that the housing is openable to allow a user to have access to an internal chamber defined by the housing.

A dispenser for dispensing plastic film for vehicle repair, the dispenser including: a first support adapted to rotatably support a roll of plastic film, and an aperture, wherein the plastic film can be pulled through the aperture from the roll and retracted through the aperture towards the roll.
