ABSTRACT:
A spring rewound tagline device in which a cable reel has a fairlead with a cable guide means for guiding a cable to and from the cable reel as the cable is payed out and retrieved. The fairlead according to the present invention is self-adjusting and includes a support arm on which the cable guide means is pivoted for rotation, and the support arm is mounted on the tagline device for pivotal swinging movement, so that the support arm and the cable guide means are free to adjustably change their operative positions in response to the changes in the lead-off angle of the tagline or other cable, whereby to minimize acute cable bends and undesirable binding in the cable guide means.
