Abstract
A gas supply system in the form of a winding device that includes a housing with an aperture, a spool, a one way bearing, an interval locking device, a universal shaft, a spring housing, a spring torque spool and a pair of spring grounding tabs, a main base that stabilizes the housing, a rotating shaft where the main base is disposed on the distal end of the rotating shaft, a rotational bearing that is disposed on the proximal end of the rotating shaft and connects the rotating shaft to the base clamp. The base clamp has a pair of corresponding apertures and secures the gas supply system to a tubular shaped object, and includes an adjustable clamp screw that has a handle and a threaded bolt wherein the proximal end of the threaded bolt is attached to and perpendicularly extends from the handle and the adjustable clamp screw.
Claims20
A gas supply system, comprising:
- a housing that includes an aperture, a spool, a one way bearing circumscribing a vertically-oriented small shaft, an interval locking device, a vertically-oriented universal shaft, a spring housing, and a spring torque spool configured to secure a free end of a spring;
- a main base that stabilizes said housing in an upright perpendicular position;
- a vertically-oriented rotating shaft that has a proximal end and a distal end where said main base is disposed on said distal end of said vertically-oriented rotating shaft;
- a base clamp having a top surface and a pair of corresponding apertures, said base clamp configured to secure said gas supply system to a tubular shaped object;
- a rotational bearing that is disposed on said top surface of said base clamp and at said proximal end of said vertically-oriented rotating shaft, said rotational bearing connecting the vertically-oriented rotating shaft to said base clamp;
- and
- an adjustable clamp screw that has a handle and a threaded bolt with a proximal end and a distal end wherein said proximal end of said threaded bolt is attached to and perpendicularly extends from said handle of said adjustable clamp screw.
