Abstract: A CIPP liner reel system for managing the utilization and deployment of CIPP liners. The CIPP liner reel system generally includes a frame connected to a reel and drive unit. The drive unit is connected to the reel to control the rotation of its core. This core contains an opening that provides access to a connector unit within the core. This connector unit can be used to connect the reel to the end of a CIPP liner using a strap. Rotation of the core causes CIPP liner to wind on to or unwind from the reel. The reel may also contain a left guide member and a right guide member to assist in controlling the process of winding and unwinding the CIPP liner. The frame may also include a tractor connector that enables the CIPP liner reel system to be coupled to and transported by a tractor without affecting its operation.

A stand with a base and two upright members is provided to rotatably support the shaft at spaced locations between the hand crank and the tapered drum. The tapered drum has first and second ends and an outer surface with a diameter that gradually decreases from the first end toward the second end. The tapered outer surface of the drum allows a cord wound thereon to be removed easily and nested into a compact coil shape for storage. A keyhole-shaped opening is provided in the outer surface of the tapered drum adjacent to the first end for receiving and holding a plug end of the electrical cord.

Abstract: In the case where a lengthy rubber material (R) is wound on a winding roll (30) mounted on a moving cart (20), the invention prevents excessive bonding of the rubber material between respective layers and is capable of pulling out and supplying the rubber material as wound without a problem, and the lengthy rubber material (R) continuously extruded in a lengthy manner from a rubber extruder to be fed to a winding position is wound to be made spiral with alternately reverse inclination every layer while being caused by a traverse guide to traverse to the winding roll (30) mounted on the cart (20) in accordance with rotation of the roll.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for winding hoses such as those used in the firefighting industry. The apparatus includes a control mechanism adapted for engagement by an operator to move the apparatus along a support surface while concurrently controlling the winding of the hose. The apparatus has an operating configuration and a storage configuration. In the operating configuration the control mechanism is at a first height convenient for the operator to move the apparatus backward and forward in multiple directions while concurrently to control rotation of a hose winder assembly. In the storage configuration the height of the control mechanism is changeable to a second height which allows storage of the apparatus in a substantially smaller space as compared to the operating configuration.

Abstract: A device for collection and storage of waste monofilament line or similar materials. The device has a rotating spool mechanism in the form of an inner spool with an outer surface to which line adheres rotated by a rotation operator coupled to the spool. An outer cylinder encloses the spool mechanism. Monofilament line is passed through a window in the outer cylinder and adheres to the outer surface of the spool. The rotation operator is rotated, drawing the line into the device for storage and later disposal.

Abstract: Transportable apparatus for winding and hygienizing fluid pipes for food use, includes a support frame supporting a rotating drum, the rotating drum being constrained to a horizontal rotational shaft, supported by the frame. The rotational shaft is engaged to motion transmission means engaged with a ratio-motor integral with the frame of the apparatus. The rotating drum is subdivided into concentric frusto-conical and also intercommunicating sections, at least one of said frusto-conical sections being provided with a device for the engagement of at least one end of the corresponding pipe to be wound. A dispenser is joined to the apparatus for the distribution of a hygienizing solution inside the pipe. The control device of the movement of the rotating drum, includes a logical unit, which controls the speed, the rotational direction of the drum and the rotational periods.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatic threading and winding of optical fiber onto various components in a fiber draw system, as well as methods and apparatus for conducting online tensile screening of optical fiber at high speeds. In a preferred embodiment, the fiber is tensile tested during fiber draw and wound directly onto a shipping spool to be shipped to a customer. The tensile stress can be imparted to the fiber during the draw process by feeding the fiber through a screener capstan, which works in conjunction with another capstan to impart the desired tensile stress to the fiber during the draw process.

Abstract: Coiling device (“R”) and relative method for a windable long, metal product (10). The device (“R”) comprises a mandrel (12) having a substantially circular transverse section and rotating around a horizontal, vertical or inclined axis, a containing element (13) to contain the metal product (10) arranged in correspondence with the mandrel (12) and substantially orthogonal to the axis, and at least a guide and containing device (15, 16) able to be driven between a first working position wherein it cooperates with the mandrel (12), and a second inactive position wherein it is arranged distant from the mandrel (12). The containing element (13) comprises an annular channel (14) made in proximity with an outer surface of the mandrel (12).

Abstract: An apparatus for transferring material winding between spools. The apparatus includes spindels for positioning first and second spools in a co-planar arrangement with parallel axes of rotation. With the material initially secured to the base of a first spool with tape, a winding mechanism is energized to turn the spools. When the first spool is filled, a first sheave directs the incoming material to the second spool which is rotated at the rate of material supply. A tape applicator is then directed to apply a section of tape over the material, pressing it against the base of the second spool. A small wire is included on the base of the tape being applied. The applicator force on the wire against the material is designed to be sufficient to sever the material, separating the material on the first spool from the material being wound on the second.
