Device having a liftable strap supply reel
View Patent ↗A device having a liftable strap supply reel includes a housing, a liftable mechanism and a pushing force generator. The liftable mechanism is pivoted on the housing and it has a first arm that is disposed with a rotatable strap supply reel. The liftable mechanism contains a home position, a critical position, and a lift-up position. When this lifting mechanism is positioned at the lift-up position, the pushing member generates a force to create a torque so that the strap supply reel stays at a height near a waist of a human. So, the strap supply reel can be lifted up to a height approximately near a waist of a human. It can be operated by one hand. In addition, it is convenient to repair or replace the strap.
1. A device having a liftable strap supply reel comprising:
a housing having an inner space, an opening, a first pivoting portion and a second pivoting portion;
a liftable mechanism including a rotating shaft, a first arm, a second arm and a handle; said rotating shaft being pivoted on said first pivoting portion and being able to rotate within a preset range; said first arm having a first length and being disposed with a rotatable strap supply reel for storing a strap winding thereon; said second arm having a controlling end and having a second length; said second length being shorter than said first length;
a pushing force generator having a pushing member and a pushing body, said pushing member connecting with said controlling end, said pushing body connecting with said second pivoting portion;
said liftable mechanism containing a home position, a critical position and a lift-up position; when said liftable mechanism being positioned at said home position, said pushing member generating a force on said second arm so as to create a torque to a predetermined direction and cause a feeding roller staying in said inner space; when said lifting mechanism being positioned at said critical position, said pushing member generating no force on said second arm so as to create zero torque; when said lifting mechanism being positioned at said lift-up position, said pushing member generating another force on said second arm so as to create another torque opposite to said predetermined direction, so that said second arm rotates and lifts up and also causes said strap supply reel moving outside of said inner space and stays at a height approximately near a waist of a human.
2. The device having a liftable strap supply reel comprising as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first pivoting portion is a pair of pivoting protrusions, pivoting seats.
3. The device having a liftable strap supply reel comprising as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
said first arm extends from said rotating shaft with the first length;
said controlling end of the second arm extends from said rotating shaft with the second length; and
said handle extends from said first arm.
4. The device having a liftable strap supply reel comprising as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
said first arm being extends from said rotating shaft with the first length;
said controlling end of the second arm extends from said first arm with the second length; and
said handle extends from said first arm.
5. The device having a liftable strap supply reel comprising as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said housing further includes a recessed portion; when said liftable mechanism being positioned at said home position, said pushing member being hidden in said recessed position.
