Abstract: A multipurpose rolled tissue dispensing stand having a pair of tubular legs attached to a pair of tubular vertical rods further attached at their top ends to a horizontal rod holding a tissue dispensing unit comprised of a base plate holding a tissue dispensing orifice with a serrated edge at the front end and a handle with a lock at the back end. A tubular tissue holding rod is attached to the vertical rods and holds the rolled tissue on the stand. The handle on the base plate of the tissue dispensing unit can be unlocked and actuated to swing the base plate up when inserting the tissue roll into the tissue holding rod and actuated down to place the base plate locked over the tissue. A standard tissue dispensing box with an open bottom can be placed over the rolled tissue dispensing stand.
Abstract: A structured cabling tool includes an outer frame base supporting axle mounts that in turn support cable axles, the outer frame being extended in a ready for use condition and compacted in a ready for transport condition; inner frame arms supported within the outer frame base, the inner frame arms fixable upright orthogonal to the extended outer frame base in the ready for use condition and coextensive with the compacted outer frame in the ready for transport condition; a cable sorting threader supported between the inner frame arms; and a revolvable tape segmenting spindle supported by the inner frame arms below the cable sorting threader.
Abstract: An apparatus for managing lengths of flexible elongate elements between two fixed points has a single spool with a track of predetermined width sufficient for winding alternate turns of the elongate element about opposite side regions of the track in a folded figure eight pattern. A first turn of the elongate element is wound about a first side region of the track, then the element is crossed over to the second side region of the track and a second turn is wound about the second side region of the track. The elongate element is crossed back over to the first side region and a third turn is wound about the first side region. The process is repeated until at least the majority of the slack between the fixed points on the element has been taken up.
Abstract: A portable and adjustable reeled wire dispenser having a base platform with first and second side walls extending upwardly from the base platform and a plurality of adjustable rotatable members for accommodating various reel sizes to assist an individual in the installation of electric, cable wire or other material.
Abstract: A cable winding device and method for winding a cable which provides for quick and easy removal of a cable from the cable winder such that the winder may readily be used to wind additional cables without additional parts, and such that the wound cable may be efficiently stored.
Abstract: A wire feeder for supplying consumable welding wire to a welding gun includes a housing and a wire advancing mechanism connected to the housing for paying wire from a wire spool to a welding gun. A storage tray is formed with the housing. A wire spool support is connected to the housing and rotatably supports the wire spool. The wire spool support includes a wire spool support tray, an elevated member extending from the wire spool support tray, and a spool retention member connected to the elevated member and rotatably supporting the wire spool.
