Abstract: There is proposed a cable reel, comprising mirrored first and second side portions forming an outwardly open cable receiving annular chamber therebetween for holding a cable. The cable reel includes a tapered neck wherein the cable is configured to pass though the tapered neck during winding up and dispensing of the cable, whereby jamming of the cable within the annular chamber is inhibited. The cable reel further includes a passageway for receiving a first plug attached to a first end of the cable therethrough, at least two apertures for utilisation by a user to facilitate rotation of the cable, and a plurality of plug holding members for retaining a second plug attached at a second end of the cable.

Abstract: A coupling arrangement (10) including a first coupling (12?) and a second coupling (16), the first and second couplings being connectable to form a joint (12). Each of the first and second couplings defines a passage through which fluid can flow and the respective passages are in alignment when the first and second couplings (12?, 16?) are connected. Each of the first and second couplings (12?, 16?) includes first and second interconnecting coupling parts (20, 60) in which the first coupling part defines the passage. The second coupling part (60) is connectable to the first coupling part (20) and to a first coupling part of another coupling to form the joint. The first and second couplings (12?, 16?) are coupled together by a releasable connection between the second coupling part (60) of each coupling with the first coupling part (20) of the mating coupling.
