ABSTRACT:
A cord-reel assembly comprises a cord-reel body rotatably installed in the electronic device, a brake member capable of selectively contacting with the cord-reel body, so that the brake member selectively restrains the rotation of the cord-reel body, a manipulation lever having a coupling part connected to the brake member, wherein the coupling part is moved between a first position at which the brake member is contacted with the cord-reel body by the manipulation of the manipulation lever by a user and a second position at which the brake member is spaced from the cord-reel body, a elastic member for elastically biasing the manipulation lever so that the coupling part is moved to the first position, and a damper unit for interfering with the movement of the coupling part in such a way that the returning velocity of the coupling part is delayed when the coupling part is returned from the second position to the first position by the elastic member. With this arrangement, a user does not have to continuously actuate the cord reel until the cord is completely wound.
