20080272075 | SUPPORT CRADLE FOR ROLLED COILS AND OTHER CYLINDRICAL OBJECTS - A cradle unit for supporting metal coils, and other cylindrical objects, consists of two, parallel and separate saddles preferably made of polyurethane having an approximate hardness range of between 50 Shore A and 90 Shore D, which saddles are connected together via a pair of parallel steel angle-brackets that provide inherent structural integrity to the cradle unit itself, while still allowing the unit to conform to the shape or level of the underlying support structure. The single cradle unit may be as a mobile support-device, or may be bolted or otherwise attached to a surface for a specific location of the stored product. The cradle unit of the invention may, also, be attached to the bed of a transportation vehicle, such as a truck trailer or rail car, in order to provide secure, protective storage and location of the items. In this case, the nature of the resilient or soft material from which the cradle unit is made provides shock-absorption qualities for the transported coil. The cradle unit is generally concave-shaped and has a first main or central lower concave curvature of a first radius, and a middle or secondary transitional curvature that connects the first main lower curvature to an upper, tertiary concave curvature of a second radius greater than the first radius, so that coils or rolls of different diameter may be safely and firmly supported. | 11-06-2008 |
20090065457 | Gymnasium floor covering storage and cleaning rack - The present invention relates to a floor covering storage and dispensing rack including a frame equipped with extendable members having castors. Floor lock anchors are also provided on the frame.

Perforated end caps are provided on the rollers to limit access to moving parts. An elongated cleaning head consisting of a pair of brushes is provided on a frame member. Floor covering passes over at least one brush when the floor covering is retrieved or dispensed to remove dirt prior to storage or reuse. | 03-12-2009 |
20090250419 | Toilet paper roll holder - A toilet paper roll holder assembly comprising: (a) at least one foldable sheet folded around itself; (b) first engagement means for engaging the foldable sheet to itself; (c) second engagement means for engaging the foldable sheet to another foldable sheet, or third engagement means for engaging the foldable sheet to supporting sheet, where the supporting sheet is not in folded form. The foldable sheets in their folded form provide closed space for holding toilet paper roll. The engagement means enables reversible assembling and disassembling of the toilet paper roll holder, and the foldable sheets and the supporting sheet are made of synthetic material. | 10-08-2009 |
20090294388 | ADJUSTABLE CABLE ROUTING SPOOL - A cabling spool for guiding or storing cable, such as is often employed in network racks or other cabling cabinets or enclosures to organize cable layouts and store excess cable, includes a spool body and an end flange. The spool body has a surface with a radius, sized to prevent a minimum bend radius of a cable from being exceeded. The end flange of the spool keeps cables passing about the spool body from leaving the spool. The end flange may be attached to the spool body in a number of positions, e.g., in an upward position, when a majority of cables pass over a top of the spool body; in a downward position, when a majority of cables pass over a bottom of the spool body. The end flange may optionally be rotated relative to the spool body. | 12-03-2009 |
20110120964 | MEDIA RACK CONFIGURATION - A media rack system is disclosed that generally includes a rack configured to receive a plurality of components that are selectively connected via a plurality of media, e.g., optical fibers or any other wired communication link. An exemplary system may further include one or more media loop retention housings, which include a spool configured to selectively support one of the media, and a media loop retainer defined by the spool. The media loop retainer includes a predetermined radius for selectively retaining a loop of the media. The predetermined radius is greater than or equal to a minimum bend radius associated with the fiber. | 05-26-2011 |
20120305508 | VERTICAL ROLL WRAP PRODUCT TRAY KIT - A vertical roll wrap tray kit of the present invention includes at least one product tray, a plurality of spacer clips, a plurality of wire dividers and a plurality of push clips. The product tray can be attached to various types of retail display units. The product tray contains two slot walls which are sized to accommodate insertion of the wire dividers. The dividers are used to divide the tray into segments or compartments in which the roll wrap material is stored and displayed in a vertical arrangement. The width of the rows or compartments can be varied based on the diameter of the roll wrap product. Spacer clips are used to hold two adjacent dividers into place. The tray is angled slightly in a backwards direction to avoid accidental removal of the vertical roll wrap. | 12-06-2012 |
20130020271 | WIRE ACCESS LINE DRUM ASSEMBLY - One aspect of the disclosed subject matter is seen in a wire access line drum assembly, comprising a tubular drum, first and second end portions, and a shaft. The tubular drum includes a first end, a second end, and an inner diameter of a first preselected size. The first and second end portions are coupled to the first and second ends of the tubular drum, and the shaft extends at least partially within the tubular drum. The shaft has an outer diameter of a second preselected size substantially similar to the first preselected size. Another aspect of the disclosed subject matter is seen in a drum storage system. The drum storage system is comprised of a plurality of wire access line drums and a rack. The plurality of wire access line drums each have a wire access line pre-spooled thereon, and the rack is designed to receive the plurality of wire access line drums in a configuration to permit one or more of the wire access lines to be retrieved from the rack and transported to a job site. | 01-24-2013 |
20130026120 | Material Holder - Material holders for use with a structure (e.g., a stand, tool box, etc.) may include material holding apparatus configured to hold a roll and/or box of material. The material holding apparatus may be configured to hold various material in an organized, open, and unobstructed manner to provide convenient access to the material. | 01-31-2013 |
20140339183 | Spool Thread Organizer - The present invention describes a thread spool holder. The device comprises a wall-mountable frame with a series of support shelves positioned horizontally across the frame. The support shelves are upwardly angled in relation to the back wall of the device, thereby enabling the spool to be held thereon. A user can place the spools onto the shelving in an end-to-end configuration for storage and can arrange the colors in a manner that enables the user to quickly locate a desired spool. The present invention provides an organized, accessible way to store thread, and allows the user to view the entire thread collection at once. | 11-20-2014 |
