ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a multipurpose wire winding device for vehicles and more particularly to a multipurpose vehicle wire winding device for allowing power voltage of a vehicle to be supplied for the various purposes intended by a user.
2. Description of Related Art
As well known, a typical wire winding device is used for supplying power voltage from an existing electric terminal to a working place at a predetermined distance, whereby allowing necessary works to be carried out, such as extinguishing a fire or performing moving operations in an industrial site, or serving for applications (outdoor or emergency power supply and lighting) available from a vehicle.
As industry has been developed, convenience of automobiles and increase of the national income results in rapid spread of vehicles. Many persons drive the vehicles by themselves and experience various accidents or breakdowns during the driving. Especially, when a vehicle running long distance or on an expressway at night has a flat tire or other troubles, a driver stops the vehicle on the road and must take measures necessary for preventing a secondary accident with other following vehicles or for repairing the vehicle. In this situation, the driver usually uses a flashlight powered by battery. However, the flashlight is limited in time depending upon a life of the typical battery, so brightness of the flashlight gradually lowers, resulting in inconvenience and difficulty in use.
There are inconveniences in that power voltage cannot be supplied to operate an amplifier in case of outdoor events and a light cannot be given for a long time at night in case of enjoying leisure time such as fishing when using the conventional wire winding device.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a multipurpose vehicle wire winding device that substantially obviates one or more of the limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
An objective of the present invention is to provide a multipurpose vehicle wire winding device for allowing power voltage of a vehicle to be supplied to a remote place so as to light up lightings or drive other electrical machines.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be set forth in the following description, and in part will be apparent from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by the structure as illustrated in the written description and claims hereof, as well as the appended drawings.
To achieve these and other advantages, and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention as embodied and broadly described, a multipurpose wire winding device for
It is preferable to further comprise a lighting unit for receiving the power from the power connecting unit and giving light of a predetermined brightness to an outside.
It is preferable that the lighting unit includes at least one of a flasher and a lighting.
It is preferable that the driving unit is implemented in the form of either a manual driving unit or an automatic driving unit, the manual driving unit being activated in such a manner that a user rotates the manual driving unit with his/her hand in the circumferential direction, the automatic driving unit being activated by a predetermined torque generated from the power of the power connecting unit.
It is preferable that the manual driving unit comprises: a circular plate of a predetermined size connected to the coax hole of the rotary drum; and a projecting grip formed at an edge of the circular plate, for allowing rotary power to be applied in a relatively large circumferential direction.
It is preferable that the automatic driving unit comprises: a power transmission gear connected to the coax hole of the rotary drum, for transmitting a torque generated from the outside; and a motor for generating the torque to the power transmission gear with power applied from the power connecting unit.
It is preferable that the power connecting unit comprises: a rotary body connecting unit which is formed to be oriented to the coax hole at one side on a bottom surface of the winding area of the rotary drum and which has at least one contact brush electrically connected to the wire; and at least one fixed body connecting unit combined with the coax hole of the fixing housing and electrically connected to the contact brush of the rotary body connecting unit such that the fixed body connecting unit and the contact brush can reciprocally move.
It is preferable that the power outlet portion is provided with either a cigar jack receptacle or a socket.
It is preferable that the fixing housing is provided with a wire arrangement portion in an upper part of the reception space, for uniformly arranging the wire in the winding area of the rotary drum.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
