Patent number: 9198406Abstract: A fishing line spool assembly includes an open body frame, wherein a fishing line spool is mounted between two side plates of the body frame at an open end, has a central bore, and is rotatably sandwiched between the two side plates by a clamping adjustable device inserted through the central bore of the fishing line spool and bores of the two side plates. The body frame is provided with a connection device for connecting to a fishing rod. The clamping force applied on the fishing line spool by the two side plates can by adjusted by the clamping adjustable device. When the fishing line in the fishing line spool is drawn by a fishing reel, the clamping force on the fishing line spool by the body frame will function as a brake against the rotation of the fishing line spool.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2014Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Inventor: Xiaomei Wang

Patent number: 6877920Abstract: A holding device is provided with adapters capable of dealing with a case where the hollow shaft portions of a roll-like fixing medium differ in inner diameter. Thus, it is unnecessary to have a complete set of roll paper supporting members to be used every time the hollow shaft portions of the roll-like fixing medium differ in inner diameter. As the size of such an adapter can be made at least smaller than the size of the roll paper supporting members, the adapter is easily stocked under control.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2003Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Seiko Epson CorporationInventor: Satoshi Fujioka

Patent number: 6502781Abstract: A method and apparatus for more efficiently and easily dispensing paper products, such as toilet tissue, from commercial wall mounted dispensers. The dispenser may be reloaded, in most instances, in a single operation that requires only one hand. Further, the housing protects the paper from vandals and improper tampering, while still being configured for a simple reloading procedure without the necessity for using keys and the like to gain access to the housing. The apparatus may comprise spring loaded projections on the interior of the housing that are adapted to receive and suspend within the housing rolls of paper tissue. Doors within the housing are configured to allow insertion of a new roll of paper into the dispenser when located in the open position; further, such doors suspend the tail of the paper roll for easy access to the tissue user when the doors are in the closed position.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 1999Date of Patent: January 7, 2003Assignee: Kimberly-Clark Worldwide, Inc.Inventor: Paul Tramontina

Patent number: 6481594Abstract: A roll mounted T-shirt bag and dispensers for same are described. The bag is designed for fresh produce and includes front and rear panels, first and second side gussets, a bottom seam, a top seam and a U-shaped cutout forming an openable bag mouth and a pair of carrying handles. The bags are joined above and below the upper and lower seams at first and second perforation lines. The bags are wound onto a cylindrical core to form a compact roll. In a variant of the invention, the bags are folded inwardly from the side edges prior to rolling onto the core to form a more compact roll. Dispensers are described that are designed to hold the roll mounted bags in both folded and unfolded form. The dispensers include a separating tongue designed to engage the U-shaped cutout and permit the bags to be dispensed from the bottom of the bag roll. The dispensers are designed for mounting to either vertical or horizontal surfaces and function efficiently in very limited spaces.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2001Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Inteplast Group, Ltd.Inventors: Ron C.

Patent number: 6257512Abstract: Magnetized bobbin cores are preferably wound with sewing thread to obtain sideless, pre-wound bobbins that have beneficial draw-off tensions, draw-off tension uniformity and overspin characteristics. The pre-wound sideless bobbins may thus be satisfactorily used in lock stitch sewing applications due to improved uniformity of draw-off tension combined with reduced bobbin overspin. The magnetized pre-wound sideless bobbins are also especially well suited for end-use sewing applications where automatic bobbin changing equipment is employed. Most preferably, the core is a cylinder formed of a thermoplastic or thermoset material in which magnetized particles are dispersed.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 1999Date of Patent: July 10, 2001Assignee: Fil-Tec, Inc.Inventors: Vincent E. Schoeck, Edwin E. Fuller

Patent number: 6224011Abstract: A fishing line spool holder for facilitating the transfer of fishing line from a supply spool to a fishing reel. The spool holder is adapted to mount to the outside of a tackle box or other suitable surface. It includes a mounting bracket and a substantially L-shaped respooling arm pivotally attached to the mounting bracket. The pivoting action allows the respooling arm to be placed in a retracted position flush with the surface to which it is mounted when not in use. A frictionally engaging notch mechanism locks the arm into respooling position prior to use. The device further includes at least one tension-cap to prevent uncontrolled rotation and unfurling of the supply spool fishing line during respooling, and at least one ball-bearing washer to assure that the mounting plate apparatus does not interfere with the respooling operation.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 1999Date of Patent: May 1, 2001Inventor: John H. Gavaza, III

Patent number: 6199786Abstract: A wire reel assembly comprises a reel, a reel support and a reel securing assembly. The reel includes a central body and removable sides. The central body is removably mounted to an arm of the reel support thereby allowing one of the removable sides to be disconnected from the central body without requiring disassembly of the reel support. The reel securing assembly is also used as an adjustable brake assembly since it includes a friction element contacting the body of the reel to generate a friction force.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 1999Date of Patent: March 13, 2001Assignee: IPL, Inc.Inventors: Claude Lessard, Rock Nolet
