ABSTRACT:
An assembly to eliminate slack in a length of cord (20, 120) extending between axially spaced first (12, 112) and second (14, 114) cylindrical members. The cord (20) is wrapped in coiled lengths (22, 24, 122, 124) on the interior side walls (18, 19, 118, 119) of each member (12, 14, 112, 114). A control means (34, 134) acts between the members (12, 14, 112, 114) and coiled lengths (22, 24, 122, 124) to coil the cord (20, 120) onto one coiled lengths (22, 24, 122, 124) while uncoiling the cord (20, 120) from the other coiled length (24, 22, 124, 122). A guide means (36, 136) guides the cord (20, 120) onto and off of one of the coiled lengths (22, 24, 122, 124) while rolling means (38, 138) hold the coiled lengths (22, 24, 122, 124) in position to eliminate slack. The control means (34, 134) specifically includes at least two spokes, one (42, 142) to engage the U-shaped loop (32, 132) in the cord (20, 120) between the coiled lengths (22, 24, 122, 124) with the one or more spokes (40, 140) disposed within circular O-rings in rolling engagement with the respective coiled lengths (22, 24, 122, 124).
