A hose reel for coiling a hose includes a frame and a reel assembly rotatably connected to the frame about an axis of rotation. The reel assembly includes a drum assembly having a drum surface configured to receive and support the hose as the drum assembly is rotated about the axis of rotation to coil the hose around the drum surface. The drum assembly includes a hose fitting defining a fluid outlet. The hose fitting is configured to be connected to one end of the hose to fluidly connect the hose to the fluid outlet.

The invention relates to a rotary guide (1) for guiding at least one line (2) between two points (3, 4), which can be rotated relative to each other, without interruptions. Two receiving parts (12, 14) for receiving a respective sub-section of two sub-sections (29, 31), which are to be wound about the common rotational axis (X) in opposite directions, of a line section (2a), which can be received in the rotary guide (1), can be rotated relative to each other about a rotational axis (X). A deflecting unit (16) supports a deflecting region (18), in which the line section (2a) of the line (2) changes over between the opposite sub-sections (29, 31) in order to deflect the line (2) to be guided from one receiving part (12, 14) to the other receiving part (12, 14) in the event of a relative rotation. Each of the receiving parts (12, 14) has a spiral-shaped receiving groove (20, 22) with a plurality of windings (24, 26) for receiving a line section (2a), said windings running about the common rotational axis (X) from a starting radius (r.sub.a) to a final radius (r.sub.e), wherein the windings (24, 26) lie on a plane perpendicular to the common rotational axis (X). The deflecting unit (16) has an active surface (33) which extends or can be adjusted radially between the starting radius (r.sub.a) and the final radius (r.sub.e) and which interacts with the receiving grooves (20, 22) in order to transfer the line section (2a) from the receiving groove (20, 22) of the one receiving part (12, 14) to the receiving groove (20, 22) of the other receiving part (12, 14) in the event of a relative rotation.

An over-the-range microwave appliance includes a pot filler water dispenser for dispensing water to a vessel situated on a cook top below the microwave. The microwave includes a pot filler housing adjacent a cooking cavity that creates a recess into which the pot filler is housed that is not visible from the front of the appliance. The pot filler includes a dispensing hose or conduit that is retractable or retractably mounted within the pot filler housing recess. The dispensing hose is biased into a stowed position and can be pulled against the bias to place the dispensing hose into a deployed condition, thereafter returning to its stowed position.

A method is provided for installing a pipeline on the seabed from a marine pipelaying vessel, including initiation, pipelaying, and abandonment of the pipeline. An embodiment of the abandonment of the pipeline includes halting pipelaying and engaging a hang-off clamp with the pipeline at a position below one or more tensioners, transferring the weight onto the hang-off clamp and holding the seagoing pipeline in the firing line, severing the pipeline, connecting the initiation cable to the lower end of the pipeline held by the one or more tensioners, transferring pipeline tension onto the initiation cable, releasing the one or more tensioners, so that a section of the pipeline is held in the firing line between the pipeline diverter and the initiation cable, vacating the firing line by at least displacing both the pipeline diverter and the initiation cable sheave and thereby displacing said section of the pipeline from the firing line, arranging the A&R cable in the firing line, connecting the A&R cable to the upper end of the seagoing pipeline held in the firing line, releasing the hang-off clamp, and operating the A&R winch and thereby lowering the pipeline onto the seabed.

A mining machine includes a boom having an interior chamber, a saddle block coupled to the boom, a handle slidably coupled to the saddle block, and a reel system disposed at least partially within the chamber.

A log handling device, having a rotatable rotor provided with log handler, and a feeder attached to the rotor for conducting an operating medium to the log handler. The feeder is arranged to wind around the rotor when the rotor is rotated in a first direction, and which feeder is arranged to unwind from around the rotor when the rotor is rotated in a second direction. The log handling device includes a rotatable second rotor to which the feeder is attached, and an operating device for rotating the second rotor synchronously with the rotor, such that the feeder is arranged to wind around the second rotor when the rotor is rotated in the second direction, and that the feeder is arranged to unwind from around the second rotor when the rotor is rotated in the first direction.

A shaping guide of at least one pipe for feeding a fluid product into a spraying element belonging to a sprayer of coating product is configured for being mounted around a central body of the sprayer and includes at least one spiral-shaped retaining portion for retaining in position a section of the feeding pipe, with a predetermined geometry, configured for providing electrical insulation between a mouth and an outlet of the feeding pipe. Each retaining portion has, in cross-section, a concave inner shape configured for surrounding the pipe section over more than half of the circumference thereof, preferentially, a shape in the form of an arc of a circle or U-shaped, which extends over an angular sector with an angle at the apex greater than or equal to 185°.

A fluid supply system may include: a tube configured to allow a fluid to flow through the tube; a housing including a storage space configured to store at least a portion of the tube, and an outlet which allows the tube to extend from the storage space; a support portion configured to support at least a portion of the tube in the storage space, and configured to move from an initial position of the support portion towards the outlet based on a degree of extension of the tube from the outlet; and a position maintaining portion connected to the support portion and configured to apply a restoring force to the support portion to return the support portion to the initial position.

A cable management assembly includes a fastener that is attachable to a ceiling of a room. A mounting unit is provided that is matable to the fastener having the mounting unit abutting the ceiling. A cylinder is attached to the mounting unit and a tube is rotatably attached to the cylinder thereby facilitating the tube to be rotated about a central axis of the cylinder. A plurality of cable retractors is provided and each of the cable retractors is coupled to the tube. Each of the cable retractors is biased to retract toward the tube and each of the cable retractors is urgeable into a lengthened condition for extending away from the tube. Each of the cable retractors releasably engages a power cord of a virtual reality headset to inhibit a user of the virtual reality headset from tripping over the power cord of the virtual reality headset.

A system for cleaning and/or inspecting a pipeline includes a hose and a working device connected to one end of the hose. The working device includes a sensor device for detecting sensor data representing a movement direction of the working device in the pipeline, a hose drum for winding and unwinding the hose, a motor coupled to the hose drum and configured to rotate the hose drum so as to wind the hose onto the hose drum, and a control device connected to the working device and motor and to determine the movement direction of the working device in the pipeline on the basis of the sensor data and to output to the motor a first control signal which causes the motor to rotate and wind up the hose when the determined movement direction of the working device corresponds to a predetermined first movement direction.
