ABSTRACT:
An automated reel for use by divers comprises a battery-operated motor in communication with a take-up reel through a gearing arrangement, where the activation/de-activation of the motor is controlled by a tension-sensing mechanism. In operation, when the mechanism senses that there is “slack” in the safety cord, the mechanism will turn “on” the motor, which will then cause the reel to rotate (via the gearing arrangement) to wind up the slack safety cord. Once tension is restored on the line, the mechanism will turn “off” the motor. A manual override switch may be included for situations where the diver desires to retain control of winding/unwinding of the safety cord. A line leveler arrangement may be used in conjunction with the reel so as to evenly distribute the safety cord across the extent of the reel.
