| 20080257999 | Anchoring system and method - An apparatus for docking and/or mooring vehicles, particularly watercraft and for restraining loads in truck beds or trailers. The apparatus utilizes ropes or cables in housing unit that provides for the extension and retraction of the rope or cables preferably without the need of electrical or manual cranks. The housings are adaptable to be mounted on the vehicle or at an attachment or docking location and are biased to retract but may contain stops or cleats for manually tying off and thus stopping the extension or retraction of the rope or cable. The housings may be further adapted to be flush mounted in relation to surrounding surfaces or to contain lights. | 10-23-2008 |

| 20110290927 | WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - In a webbing take-up device, a housing chamber is provided integrally at an axial-direction end portion of the spool, and opens to an outer-side in a radial-direction of the spool. A lock plate is housed in the housing chamber, and a side surface of the housing chamber is engaged with the lock plate at a predetermined occasion, and rotation of the spool in a drawing-out direction is regulated. An opening-side end portion of the side surface is arranged at a position away from a slit in a circumferential-direction of the spool. Thus, a wall part passing the side surface and being along the axial-direction becomes larger, so strength of the spool can be enhanced. Further, an outer-side of the housing chamber in the axial-direction is closed, so strength of the housing chamber can be enhanced, with the result that the strength of the spool can be further enhanced. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20110290928 | WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - In an insertion hole formed in an adapter, a side wall which presses an insertion piece of a stopper with an urging force of a spiral spring has a wall surface parallel to a virtual straight line passing a center of the adapter and positioned on the virtual straight line. Thus, a direction which the wall surface of the side wall presses the insertion piece of the stopper is along a facing direction which the side wall and another side wall face each other, and is not inclined outward in a radial direction of the adapter with respect to the facing direction. Thereby, a pressing force applied from the wall surface of the side wall to the insertion piece of the stopper does not cause the insertion piece to be extruded from the insertion hole. Thus, insertion state of the insertion piece to the insertion hole can be satisfactorily maintained. | 12-01-2011 |

According to the invention, there is provision whereby, in the state unwound completely from the wind-on spindle, the safety belt runs, between its end held on the wind-on spindle and the exit orifice of the wind-on spindle, in a sheet-like manner over at least one surface. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20120012689 | CORD WINDER DEVICE - A device for winding, storing, tangle prevention, and protecting cords and/or cables is described. The device for winding a cord includes a frame having a cord access aperture for receiving the cord. The frame also includes an inner spool and a concentrically located spring, such as a flat coil spring, operatively connected to a catch mechanism for engaging the cord. The spring is adapted for winding the cord around the inner spool upon engaging the cord with the catch mechanism and releasing a spring control, such as a ratchet and pawl, that serves to secure tension in the spring. Methods associated with such a device are also described herein. | 01-19-2012 |

| 20160068366 | DETACHABLE WIRE MANAGEMENT DEVICE - A wire management device for providing ability to wind, unwind and retract wires, cords, cables, strings, threads and similar objects onto a spool. By having wire brought onto the spool from one side through a slot, hole, opening, or over the edge of spool wall, the device may engage loose, unilaterally or bilaterally attached wires external to it, thereby delivering a new functionality and also making it portable and reusable. Wire centering elements enable centering of the spool with respect to the wire when tension is applied to the wire. These elements do not hamper the winding, unwinding, or retraction of the wire. A wire distribution guide mechanism further enables even distribution of the wire across the spool when the wire is retracted, while not affecting the operation of the wire management device. | 03-10-2016 |

| 242376100 | Particular bearing | 1 |
| 20110309180 | WEBBING TAKE-UP DEVICE - When attempt is made to insert a fitting-shaft section into a fitting-hole section in a state where phases of the fitting-shaft section of a spring-screw and the fitting-hole section of an adapter about a central-axis line of a spool-body are not matched, shaft-section-side inclined-surfaces formed at shaft-section-side protrusions abut to hole-section-side inclined-surfaces formed at hole-section-side protrusions, so the shaft-section-side inclined-surfaces press the hole-section-side inclined-surfaces in such a direction inclined in a pull-out direction to a projecting-direction of a shaft-section body from a flange section. The adapter having received a pressing force generated by this pressing at the hole-section-side inclined-surfaces has rotated in the pull-out direction, and then the phases of the fitting-hole section and the fitting-shaft section have aligned about the central-axis line of the spool-body, each shaft-section-side protrusion intrudes into a gap between the hole-section-side protrusions adjacent to each other, and the fitting-shaft section fits into the fitting-hole section. | 12-22-2011 |
