ABSTRACT:
A winding and reeling device for an elongated, flexible member. A reel is connected to the outer end of a spiral spring. The outer end of the spiral spring is rigidly connected to the reel, whereby a gear is connected between the outer and the inner end of the spiral spring such that upon rotation of the outer end of the spiral spring around its center axis the inner end of the spiral spring rotates around the same axis, however at a slower rotational speed. The reel has smooth surfaces and comprises at no place any gear teeth. A rotation of the reel causes the rotation of the gear wheels of the gear, whereby two gear wheels having a different number of teeth are rigidly connected to each other and arranged on a common shaft. A further shaft is provided which carries two further gear wheels, whereby one gear wheel is rigidly connected to the further shaft and the other gear wheel is freely rotatable on said further shaft. The gear is a speed reduction gear, whereby its input end is driven by the reel and its output end drives the inner end of the spiral spring. Accordingly, the space occupied by the spiral spring is smaller than hitherto possible, and a space saving of the entire device is achieved. The device is suitable for reeling weblike members such as measuring tapes or leashes for dogs and also for reeling electrical cables such as for instance used in vacuum cleaners.
