ABSTRACT:
A cord winding apparatus for use in tautly winding and unwinding an electrical cord between an electro-motive apparatus and a power source. The cord winding apparatus includes a winding drum rotatably mounted and spring-connected to a drum shaft. An electrical power cord is folded into two pieces and attached to the drum such that the folded cord pieces wind from the same direction around the drum. A fixed arm is rigidly attached to the shaft to prevent shaft rotational movement. Front and rear cord guides are attached to the fixed arm to guide the cord pieces during winding and unwinding thereof around the drum. A pair of cup-like wheels are rotatably mounted on the shaft sandwiching the winding drum. The wheels carry the cord winding apparatus so that the winding drum can freely rotate about the shaft.
