ABSTRACT:
A cable retractor assembly is capable of retracting a cable onto a rotatable reel, the rotatable reel being urged to rotate in a predetermined direction by a biasing force. A moveable actuator when located in a first position is capable of overcoming the biasing force that urges the cable to be wound onto the reel. When the moveable actuator is in a second position, the moveable actuator does not impede the biasing force The retractor assembly may be integrated into or detachably secured to a portable electronic device. A sensor within the cable retractor assembly can detect when the reel rotates or the cable is extracted and thereby signal a coupled communications device to pick up an incoming call. The cable retractor assembly further comprises a pick-up actuator that when actuated signals a coupled communications device to pick up an incoming call.
