Abstract: A lacing system configured to selectively adjust the size of an opening on an object and allow for the incremental release of the lace within the lacing system. The lacing system can have a reel comprising a housing, a spool supported by the housing, and a knob supported by the housing. The reel can be configured so that cable is gathered in the channel formed in the spool when the spool is rotated in a first direction relative to the housing, and so that cable can be incrementally released from the spool when the spool is rotated in a second direction relative to the housing. In some embodiments, the reel can include a rotation limiter which can be configured to prevent over-tightening of the lacing system and/or to prevent rotation past the substantially fully loosened state.

Abstract: A tape dispenser for two or more tape rolls installed therein includes a housing having a first casing and a second casing coupled with each other in which a chamber is formed and a roll mount is provided in the chamber, wherein the housing has an outlet and a cutter mount at where a cutter is mounted. Three disks are installed on the roll mount between each two of the tape rolls, wherein the disk has flexible arms with blocks thereon to be against the neighboring tape rolls respectively such that the disks serve as separators to keep the tape rolls from each other. A button is movably installed on the second casing having four driving to pressing the tape roll, whereby the disks serve as brakes to keep the tape rolls still.
