ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for storing a cable (2) in a container (4), the apparatus comprising a pair of spring tensioned pivotted arms (10), (11) mounted within the container (4) and carrying pulleys (5,6). A loop of the cable (2) is formed around the pulleys (5,6) and is expanded by the spring tension of the arms (10,11) to draw the cable (2) into the container (4). As the cable (2) is withdrawn from the container (4) the arms (10,11) move against the spring tension to allow the loop of the cable (2) to contract. A resiliently extensible portion (9) of the cable (2) is also extended during withdrawal.
