  • Patent number: 8794560
    Abstract: A retractable tether is disclosed which may be used in conjunction with personal communication devices (such as a Cell Phone, Pager or PDA) mounting system for the prevention of loss or damage. The retracting tether may be clipped to a belt, pants or purse next to the location in which the device is being held or stored. The retractable tether allows the device to be easily used while connected to the retracting tether. Should the device be dropped or dislodged from it's clip mount, holster or storage pocket, the retracting tether prevents the device from hitting the ground thereby preventing loss or damage to the device. A separation mechanism is also incorporated to allow the device to be easily removed from the retractable tether.

  • Patent number: 8205818
    Abstract: A strap and cord winder is adjustable for different width straps and reconfigurable for cords. The winder includes a handle assembly with a center shaft and an offset pin for engaging and winding a strap. The center shaft adjustably passes through a face plate creating an adjustable width between a handle arm of the handle assembly and the face plate for winding different width straps. A cylindrical grip is attached to the face plate opposite the handle arm and the face plate attaches to a chest plate. A spool may be positioned on the center shaft between the handle arm and face plate for coiling cords and hoses and the offset pin engages a notch on one end of the spool to couple rotation of the handle to rotation of the spool. The spool includes disks at each end including open ended slots reaching radially to capture cord ends.

  • Publication number: 20010022331
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a frame member having an offset handle upon which line can be stored. The handle has a hole therein through which the line can be passed in order to properly secure the device to the line. Furthermore, the device has hooks on each end of the line for hoisting an article or attaching the line to an article of clothing. In use, the device can be used to attach one end to a person's clothing and attach the other end of the line to an article, such as a backpack, to be hoisted up a tree such as a hunter might hoist an article up a tree stand. Furthermore, the present invention is adapted so that the handle can be attached to a structural member of a tree stand or the like.
