Twistfree Hand Coiling Solutions, Inc

Specialties

Every home has at least one well-​used, electrical extension cord. Despite increasing numbers of battery powered tools, nothing supplies endless, efficient power like a 120v electrical outlet.

The list of home extension cord uses for electric power transmission is a long one including: auto block heaters, snow blowers, drills, saws, hedge trimmers, string grass trimmers, lawn mowers, chain saws, air compressors, pressure washers, cooking grills, temporary lighting and many more.

As for hoses, every home has at least one garden hose and many garages are equipped with air compressors and pressure washers. With garage space at a premium, it only makes sense to organize hoses and extension cords so that they are not underfoot and stored in a way that prevents knots and twists. Twistfree Roadees are naturally at home in your garden, garage and the workplace. Mail order only.

History

Established in 2011.

Twistfree Hand Coiling Solutions, Inc. incorporated December 12, 2011 in the city of White Rock, in the province of British Columbia. The immediate goal was to launch a family of six new products at the 2012 National Hardware Show, May 1 – 3 in Las Vegas, NV. Work began immediately on engineering these products along with branding a new website and preparing for the trade show. After displaying a small booth at the Inventor’s Spotlight section, with prototypes only, I discovered the Shopatron eCommerce system that’s based on co-​operation with stores. The new Twistfree/​Shopatron store opened on August 10, 2012. Pre-​packaged inventory is expected to arrive at the fulfilment warehouse in Blaine, WA in late September. Twistfree products will then be available to online shoppers around the world.

Business Owner

Inventor, Ron Richardson, worked in television broadcasting for over thirty years. In the early days, setting up mobile sports productions involved stringing long heavy cables to every corner of the arena. This had to be done quickly and efficiently. There’s no time to undo knots or twists. The only solution is to coil the cables using the over/​under or «flip coiling» method. By simply alternating the cable twist on each loop, the cable can be played out without any twists or knots. This coiling method is much better and safer than using one’s elbow and ending up with a twisted mess. The downside is that once coiled, if one of the ends goes through the middle, there is an overhand knot for every two loops. If the loops get out of order, slip-​knots can occur.

TV/​Music people use string or black electrical tape to secure the coils. Ron decided to invent an organizer that optimizes the over/​under coiling method and is attached to the cord so that it won’t get lost. The first U.S. patent
