Abstract: A fishing line spooling assembly includes a bracket that can be positioned on a support surface and a pair of panels attached to the bracket. A first screw is extendable through each of the panels to rotatably retain a spool of fishing line between the panels. A window is slidable into each of the panels such that the window defines a front threshold of a spool space defined between the panels. The window has a line hole extending through the window thereby facilitating fishing line on the spool of fishing line to be extended through the line hole thereby facilitating the fishing line to be wound around a reel of a fishing pole. A pair of second screws is each coupled to and extends upwardly from the lower portion of the bracket thereby facilitating a respective spool of fishing line positioned on the second screws for storage.

Abstract: A lashing assembly lashes together two or more fiber optic telecommunications cables. The lashing assembly comprises at least a first and a second bobbin. As the cables are passed through the first bobbin, twine pays off from the first bobbin and wraps around the cables in a clockwise helix. As the cables are passed through the second bobbin, twine pays off from the second bobbin and wraps around the cables in a counterclockwise helix. In this way, the twine from the first and second bobbins lash the cables together as the cables are passed through the first and second bobbins.

Abstract: A device is provided for winding wire into a coil. The device includes a shaft for turning on an axis; a hub attached to the shaft; inner and outer wheels; a mandrel having an outer radial surface for looping the wire; and a guide connectable to the mandrel and extending past the inner wheel. The shaft is structurally supported by a housing. The inner wheel, mandrel and outer wheel are removably fastened to the hub, the wire passes along the guide and lays along the radial surface of the mandrel, and the shaft rotates for looping the wire around the mandrel. The shaft can be rotated either manually or by a motor. A system is provided that includes the winding device, and further includes a wire-feed device, particularly for arranging several strands of wire into a ribbon.

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 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.

Abstract: An optical fiber winding apparatus includes a base, a plurality of fiber containment devices connected to the base, and a fiber guider connected to and movable in a repeatable path with respect to the base, wherein the guider winds the fiber around the fiber containment devices. The apparatus is hand-held, and the path of the guider overlaps itself in a single cycle of the path, such as a figure-eight.

Abstract: A spool winder includes a holder for a filament bulk roll, a cantilever member to receive a weed trimmer filament spool, and a crank handle device rotating on the member while holding and interlocking into openings in the trimmer spool.

Abstract: A weed trimmer line rewinder device for use by the elderly and those persons having arthritis in the hands. The main work performed by the device rests with a hand crank having a shaft from which extends at least one sliding lug key that can be placed in any location along a track in the shaft so as to be engageable with lugs on various sized spools, including spools for both electric powered and gas powered weed trimmers. A vertically oriented filler string spool axle is on the opposite end of the base board. The filler spool axle has a sharpened top end used to poke through plastic in which the filler spool is wrapped. Midway between the weed trimmer spool and the filler spool is an F-shaped guide peg affixed to the base board. The guide peg provides horizontal guidance and imparts tension upon the weed trimmer string as it is wound around, and replenishes the weed trimmer spool.

Abstract: A fiber winding and storage assembly is disclosed. The fiber winding and storage assembly includes a fiber winding fixture and a fiber storage device. The fiber winding fixture includes a winding structure, a handle member and a mounting member. The winding structure has a first side and a second side where the first side defines a recess therein. The handle member is attached to the second side of the winding structure. The mounting member is disposed within the recess of the winding structure and extends perpendicularly therefrom. The fiber storage device is received within the recess of the fiber winding fixture.
