Filed:

Dec 30, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/322850

Inventors:

Thomas G. Pierce - Largo FL, US

International Classification:

B65H 75/34

US Classification:

13735527, 13735526, 248 81, 248 84, 242397

Abstract:

A core has ends with an exterior surface. The core is adapted to receive a hose. End plates are mounted with respect to the ends of the core for constraining a hose on the core. A crank is coupled to the core. The crank is adapted to be grasped by a user and rotated for coiling a hose onto the core. A squeezing assembly is formed of an upper roller and a lower roller. The squeezing assembly is mounted for vertical movement with springs. The springs urge the rollers toward each other. In this manner a hose passes between the rollers while being coiled up on the core and will have liquid removed there from.

Abstract:

In a cover for a variable geometry vehicle headrest having a geometry including a center surface and integral left and right lateral extensions, each of the lateral extensions defining planes of angulation relative to the center surface along respective lines of dependency between the center surface and each respective lateral extension, the cover includes a stretchable, breathable moisture-absorbent fabric enveloping the headrest and formed in proportion to dimensions smaller that the headrest but within a range of stretchability of the cover relative to the dimensions the headrest, the fabric including internal bands of resilient material having a greater modulus of elasticity than that of the fabric, the bands secured within the fabric proximally against each of the lines of dependency between the center surface and the lateral extensions of the headrest.
