Abstract:
A medical tubing bag disclosed herein includes a housing having an open interior area and generally opposed first and second ends defining respective first and second openings. A first guide is adjacent the first opening for guiding tubing in and out of the first opening. In an embodiment, the first opening has a center axis being offset from a center axis of the first guide. In an embodiment, a second guide is inwardly adjacent the second opening for guiding tubing in and out of the open interior area. In an embodiment, a medical system includes a medical tubing bag, a medical device, and medical tubing. The tubing has a first end coupled to the medical device, the tubing extends into the medical bag, and the tubing continues from the medical bag to a user.
Abstract:
Apparatus and method according to which a line extends through a sleeve so that a first amount of the line is disposed within the sleeve. After stretching and permitting the sleeve to retract, a second amount of the line is disposed within the sleeve, with the second amount being greater than the first amount.
Abstract:
An apparatus for storing and protecting a length of rope or similar line. The apparatus includes a container and a rope at least partially storable within the container. The rope includes a withdrawable portion selectively withdrawable from storage within the container. The container is configured such that the withdrawable portion of the rope can be selectively drawn back into storage within the container. The apparatus further includes a clutch coupled to the container, the clutch configured to releasably non-slippingly engage the withdrawable portion of the rope.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for storing a garden hose is disclosed. The apparatus consists of an elongated tube which is at least as long as the garden hose that is to be stored in it, and the cross section of the tube is large enough for a hose to fit in it. The elongated tube can be mounted under the floor of the building with its end extending through the wall or it may be mounted external to the building. End caps can be used to seal the tube to keep it clean and protect the hose when it is in the tube. The tube protects the hose without requiring the hose to be stored in a coil.
Abstract:
A coiled hose storage cabinet is disclosed. The storage cabinet has a back portion, side portions connected to the back portion, and a front portion hingedly connected to the back portion. The cabinet includes an interior U-shaped storage channel for receiving and storing a length of coiled hose.
Abstract:
A balance is connectable to a display/operating unit (13) through a cable (14). The display/operating unit (13) can be placed either adjacent to the housing (1) or at a distance from the housing (1). For storing the unused length of cable (14), a corridor compartment (24) with at least one exit opening (22, 29, 30) for the cable (14) is arranged at the bottom (6) of the balance housing (1). When the cable (14) is pulled out or pushed in, it can move freely inside the corridor compartment (24). The display/operating unit (13) is held in place at the balance housing (1) by means of an intermediate member (10) in an arrangement where the balance and the display/operating unit are resting independently of each other on a supporting surface.
